In what state are the ladybugs from? Does this matter at all?

Be wary of buying ladybugs, they are great pest control BUT if you buy them, many places are selling "wild caught" ladybugs that could be infected with diseases. Google for more info about this, and try to only buy lab raised bugs.

I'm not sure which state they are from, but they are they are the most common species (red with black spots).make sure they have food and places to hide when it gets hot.

I called this company. They are not Asian, but Native California lady bugs--or so he said. :)

Came from CA to AL and seemed not to be a problem. All alive on arrival and I kept half in the fridge for two weeks before letting them go. Cured my pest problem on the camellias and azaleas.

i thought that they were local i could be wrong in most cases(i have ordered multiple time) arrive within 48 hours after ordering. i would order as locally as possible , they are a live "being" and do get stressed as well as sustable to the tempatures.

I would love to help you out with your question, but there is not enough information. It would be fine if you live in California, or if you are letting them go in a greenhouse. But I would not if you live in Colorado, or anywhere it could snow till April, and are placing them in an outside garden. Ladybugs eat aphids, and there are not a lot till the spring. Here is a site about releasing ladybugs... http://www.naturescontrol.com/ladybugs.html

I received live lady bugs. I've never noticed their eggs on anything so I can't answer your question. This question is best directed to the Orcon LBC1500 producer.

I am not 100% sure but I think somewhere in CT. I bought these a long time ago.

I can't remember the dimensions, but I think most should...the dragonfly may be a little long though and not sure if the ladybug would be a bit wide. Would definitely fit in the larger sized plastic eggs

Paula, they are not individualy defined. The globe is very nice and we bought it beside not defining the different States since we have the US map.

On the box it is printed that they are made in the USA. No specific city/state is specified.

They are native and non invasive. I had all the white flies cleaned off my trees in 3 weeks and still see the lady bugs every so often. The best idea for keeping my yard pest free

Not sure how far you are planning to look, but based upon the few times I've observed terrestrial objects I am fairly confident I could spot a ladybug on a blade of grass at 500 yards which is a bit more than 1/4 mile!

I have no problem with ladybug infestations. I even released some that I ordered in the house in order to clean up an aphid infestation that occured in my wifes house plants. There are asian types and they will on occasion bite you. I use ladybugs commercially and all the ones I order orginate and ship from America. On a side note; the asian types have to a certain extent replaced our native species in some areas.

That's funny b/c I was looking at the same thing when I shopped for one. But mine has its eyes open. I wonder if the ladybug with the closed eyes has a different serial number.

I don't think so. They just like regular in your yard lady bugs. So fun!!! And man they do their job!

Yes, the shipping rate is based on the total amount of your purchase shipped by Ladybug Company. For an example, you only pay 4.99 for shipping up to 10.00 purchase for standard shipping.

Only if it's warm where you live. Otherwise I'd wait until it warms up because Lady Bugs do not like cold weather and hibernate. The company I used only shipped them when the season was right for the lady bugs to survive.

The ladybug's purchased from this vendor did not stay in my yard after they devoured the aphids. I don't know how to make a home for them as the other respondent states he did, however, you should find some information about that on the internet.
