They arrive alive and they cleaned up in no time!
The media could not be loaded. Thanks for having this product! It arrive before promised, absolutely all lady bugs were alive and they immediately got to work. It was pretty amazing to watch them climb my honeysuckle and climbing roses.I got one bag and took turns, first placed at the base of my honeysuckle, halfway out I move the bag to my climbing rose which is huge she is climbing a pergola, 15 minutes later there were still over 20 lady bugs still in the bag so I carefully cut another hole and move the bag to another part of the rose climber.3 weeks later I was still finding lady bugs in my garden, best part they cleaned up my honeysuckle and it was able to do it's second round of flower beautifully. Very happy with this product and definitely buying it next year but earlier in the season.PS: My question to those who are disappointed next day because they dont see the ladybug and think they are gone, Do you see the other millions of bugs working in your garden??? The ladybug are there, just not in plain sight for other predators to see them. 🙂

Amazing aphid eaters
We have a mustang grapevine in our backyard. It was covered with aphids this Spring. We received the ladybugs and let them loose on the grapevine, and they took care of the aphids. We've had a bumper crop of grapes this summer. My son has picked over 30 pounds of grapes from this one 20 foot vine to make jars of grape jam. There are still so many grapes on the vine that even the black buzzards came to feast on them.

Saved my roses and made my day!
Made my day! I received them within a couple of days of purchase. I put them in the fridge overnight. There were only a couple that didn't survive. They came alive quickly after I took them after the fridge the next morning. They went to work on my roses, which were heavily infested with aphids. My rose looks fabulous and have no aphids any longer. One thing that I think helped them stick around for awhile: I planted 2 shasta daises near the rose. They hung around the daisies for quite awhile. It all felt like magic. I gifted one package to my neighbor whose citrus plants have aphids and spider mites. It was such an easy, happy gift and gave him hope, which is a always a good thing.

FAST and Alive
I was surprised, but pleased, when my little bugs arrived in 2 days, considering they traveled from Oregon to South Florida. I wasn’t patient enough to wait until evening or the next morning to release these guys. It rained in the middle of the day and then I released. I placed the open bag on the dirt at the bottom of watermelon and cucumber vines, moving it about periodically. Every bug climbed out, meaning 100% of them were alive. They scurried about on the vines and started snacking. I am pleasantly pleased to report that it has been 2 days, at least 3 thunderstorms, and there are still a few dozen that haven’t flown away. They seem to be happily doing their work and I enjoy checking on them. Win - win.

Too cool
I really enjoyed this process. When they arrived it was almost 100 degrees outside. I brought them in, spritzed them with water (and later with sugar water) and let them cool in the dark for a few hours. We had a storm roll through to dampen everything so I released them before dark. I sprayed the green leaves with sugar water and then released them. Next time I'll cut across the entire top to let them release better. I was racing a lightning storm so it had to be done quick and I only allowed for a small corner opening. By the time I realized my mistake they were flooding the exit and I didn't want to cut anyone by making a bigger hole. They crawled out and moved all over the place. Some went straight for wooly aphids and the aphids jumped right off the plant. It was a great experience. The only thing I regret is that they are shipped in an almost flat mesh screen bag. I was so worried they had been crushed. We did lose some to that very thing. I'd love to have gotten them in a small mesh box of sorts. It would be safer for them and easier to release them for us. That's my only issue. I'll order these again for sure! I checked on them this morning and there were plenty still hanging around. I'm not sure that there were any where near 750 lady bugs in the order. However, I didn't count them all out. Felt more like 200, but I'm aware that they are sold by weight. Thanks for the experience.

Not a true lady bug but gets the job done.
These insects will do the job if you need help with pest control but they are not the American Lady Bug (Hippodamia convergens) rather they are the Asian Lady Beetle (Harmonia axyridis). Every one of the bugs I received was orange with a wide variety of dot patterns. I uploaded a picture to AI for confirmation of my suspicions. Below is the result:Based on the close-up image you uploaded, this appears to be an Asian lady beetle (Harmonia axyridis), also known as the multicolored Asian lady beetle or harlequin ladybird. Here’s why:• Color and Spots: The body is orange-red with a few irregular black spots (about 4 visible here, though they can vary from 0 to 19 in this species).• Pronotum Pattern: The key identifier is the pronotum (the shield-like area behind the head), which is mostly white with a distinct black “M” or “W”-shaped marking in the center. This is clearly visible in your photo and is a hallmark of the Asian lady beetle, distinguishing it from native American ladybugs (like Hippodamia convergens), which typically have a black pronotum with white spots or bands instead.• Size and Shape: It’s small (around 5-8 mm), oval, and dome-shaped, matching the Asian species.• Other Details: The head is black with small white markings on the sides. It’s shown crawling on what looks like human skin with fine hairs, which aligns with their behavior—they often invade homes and can land on people, sometimes biting (though mildly) or releasing a yellowish defensive fluid that can stain or smell.These are invasive in North America and beneficial for controlling aphids in gardens, but they can become pests indoors in large numbers during fall/winter.

Florida bugs.
Bugs came in alive and they kind of did their job? Lol next time I will do better at releasing them at the appropriate time of day since it is very hot in Florida.
