  • i noticed my pot blueberry looks sick first i though luck of water but when i take a closer look i saw lots of aphids sucking !

    i could not get ladybugs from local gardening shop here in NewZealand so i bought this garlic(& other plants ,minerals)based insect repellant spray today.

    aphids were found other plants too.

    hopefully my plants get well soon !

  • i want a plant garden!

  • ...It didn't occur to me to give them away, but I don't mind at all. Gives me more reason to order them repeatedly! : )

  • Oh I just love ladybugs! In all my life, I have thankfully never been bitten by one (of course I only had one on me at a time, but still). I guess they don't get agitated just because you picked one up and put it on your hand to crawl around. I have a ladybug habitat I just got for Christmas (actually a butterfly/ladybug combo set with coupon) and I absolutely can't wait for my babies to arrive! I already have friends who are interested in having them for their plants....

  • Do never touch those ladybirds again it can be very dangerous. Remember they now have taste for bugs, so there is no question they will go for bigger pray-:)

  • Yeah, ever been bitten by a ladybug? It will definitely get your attention. I rode my bike thru a swarm of them wearing shorts. NOT GOOD! LOL

  • Did she just say the green lacewing??? The larvae does eat aphids but the adult feeds on nectar/pollen.

  • cool

  • wow what an amazing piece
