Small Garden Size: 4,500 LadybugsTreats up to 2,500 sq ft Preferred food: The most common of all beneficial insects, these voracious predators feed on aphids, chinch bugs, asparagus beetle larvae, thrips, alfalfa weevils, bean thrips, grape root worms, Colorado potato beetle larvae, whitefly, and mites, as well as many other soft-bodied insects and eggs. Each adult consumes about 5,000 aphids. In 2-5 days the larvae emerge as dark alligator-like flightless creatures with orange spots. The larvae eat 50-60 aphids per day. Extremely cost effective, too! Method of shipment, biology and release rates: Ladybugs are shipped to you in the adult stage. After 21 days they pupate and adults emerge in 2-5 days, completing the cycle. Within 8 to 10 days of release, each female ladybug lays 10-50 eggs daily on the underside of leaves. Under ideal conditions (temperature 61-82 degrees F; ladybugs won’t fly when 55 degrees F or lower) several generations may be produced. If not releas.
