1500 Live Ladybugs - Good Bugs for Garden - Pre-Fed Hippodamia Convergens for Insects - Guaranteed Live Delivery!

I choose them because they are a Virginia family run business. The lady bugs were health and vibrant when they arrived unlike another purchase of lady bugs on Amazon where half were dead and the others were like almost dead...moving slowly. THESE LADY BUGS WERE VERY HEALTHY. I AM SO PLEASE.

All bugs appeared to be alive and active when they arrived. I let them loose in the garden and they went right to work. Especially good for aphids. I hope some of them overwintered.

These cute little critters arrived in a very timely manner. Delivery was swift! They have a pleasant smell just like your hands did after catching lightning bugs as a kid. I enjoyed taking them out that very night (if released during the day, they tend to fly away - When released at night they search for the bad bugs/aphids to eat and then stay and rest during the day before searching for more the following night). It was fun just sprinkling a few at the base of my garden plants, blueberry bushes, peachtrees and blackberry bushes. I obviously got a LOT more than ordered. It is so neat to have such cute little bugs and yet they do so much to protect your garden. It had rained earlier in the day so there was plenty of moisture so no need to irrigate beforehand (you might need to do so if you have a dry spell). Instructions and an information sheet are included. I look forward to seeing how effective they are. Their function is twofold: kill the bad bugs and look really cute. I am not sure how they counted them but I got at least twice as many as advertised so it was good value for the money. Plus, they will lay eggs for future gardens in the yard. YAY LADYBUGS!!

These little guys worked like a charm! I had a bush and an old apple tree that were starting to wilt pretty bad, which was strange. After a bit of investigating I found tons of little dots hanging around on the undersides of the leaves. I heard that ladybugs eat a variety of plant mites so I figured I'd give it a shot and wow. It was an absolute slaughter. Seriously, ladybugs may look pretty and sweet, but they are voracious hunters. To get my ladybug friends onto the tree and bush I read that the plants should be moist because the ladybugs will be pretty thirsty after their long journey. So I sprayed the leaves down with a spritz of water and then opened the bag up and just placed it on a low branch. After about 2 hours most of the ladybugs had already gotten out except for a few of the sleepier ones. After that I saw them getting to work! I sprayed the leaves once a day for about three or four days and by then most of the mites were already gone! Now I'm starting to see some ladybug larvae crawling around so I've got some defenders for this season! Highly recommend!

I got these ladybugs to let loose in my garden to eat the aphids. It took a week to receive the ladybugs. I was surprised they arrived in just a regular cardboard box with a note saying live bugs. There was no packaging to keep the ladybug’s cool or insulated. I was waiting for them so when the postal worker brought them, I retrieve them right away so they would not sit in the hot sun. I kept them cool until night time and then let them loose. I was surprised that there was only about 30 dead ones, out of the 1500, because I worried that they had been hot as they traveled from across the country to get to me. but luckily, most of them survived.

Good quality

We waited until dusk to release them. We watered down the tree first so the ladybugs could hydrate from the long journey. I was happy to see them spilling out of their pouch and onto the tree. The next morning, about 1/3 of the ladybugs were still in the pouch. Looking further I could see they were dead. I opened the pouch fully to see for certain and they all spilled out onto the ground. I've included a picture of them dead in the pouch and on the ground. I could understand a few dead, but 1/3 seems like a lot. I'm sure I'll need more later as it is a big tree and it is a big spider mite infestation. Not sure I would buy this product again.

Thank goodness for Lady Bugs, natures pest control. The first bag I received had some issues but after contacting the seller, they quickly sent a new bag. The Lady bugs immediately went to work attacking the aphids on my plum tree. The plum tree made an amazing comeback. The Lady Bugs were happy and started reproducing, so we had bugs galore . They patrolled my vegetables all summer long. It was awesome. In this pic you’ll see 3 phases of lady bugs on one plum!

Sientanse con la seguridad de que el producto va a llegar y en buenas condiciones. Al ser animalitos vivos es obvio que algunos van a morir en el camino, pero la realidad es que la mayoria llegan bien, inmediatente que llegaron los liberamos en el jardin y mis plantas nunca han estado mejor, control de plagas sin pesticides.

Perdí mi dinero. Casi todas las mariquitas llegaron muertas y las poquitas que eestaban vivas se murieron en los siguientes días. El envío tuvo demasiados días de retraso, cuando intenté hacer la devolución el vendedor me dio muy poco tiempo y una guía que no decía de cual paquetería era. Enviarlo por DHL me costaba 400 pesos. Finalmente perdí 1000 pesos. No recomiendo para nada comprar este producto.

Más de la mitad llegaron muertas. Obviamente las vivas llegaron a comer rápido, ojalá se reproduzcan y se compense esta gran perdida
