Both Ladybird adults and their Ladybird larvae are voracious eaters and can make a real difference to aphid (greenfly and blackfly) infestations both under glass and outside.
The ladybirds we supply are Adalia Bipunctata - the red two-spotted ladybird. They are one of many native species in the UK. Ladybirds are one of the most popular controls for aphids but they do not prey on other insects so will not help with pests such as thrips and spider mite.
Some pack sizes are only available March to September.
Orders placed by 10am Monday will be despatched later in the week.

How to use
Both Ladybird Adults and their young (larvae) are extremely popular for controlling aphids.
Adult Ladybirds lay up to 50 yellow Ladybird eggs per day under the leaves of plants and up to 1500 in their Ladybird lifetime to continue the cycle of natural pest control.
Ladybird larvae are not as pretty as the adults, but they are not so likely to fly away! They are a distinctive slate grey colour with orange markings approximately 0.5mm long, and they are even more voracious than their parents.
