Ladybug eggs are normally found in clusters of 10-50 and will begin to hatch in 3-10 days. The alligator-shaped larvae are black with orange spots and immediately begin to eat pests. The adult Ladybug will feed and lay up to 1,500 eggs over many days. Several generations may occur in one season.
Release Instructions: Ladybugs should be released in the evening, early morning, or when it is cool, as ladybugs will move more slowly during these times. Misting the foliage beforehand may improve performance. With ample food and moisture, ladybugs can begin reproducing immediately. Open the bag and gently tap the insects onto the base of infested plants or desired release area. Ladybugs like to climb upwards! Leave the bag in the area for 24 hours after the release to allow the ladybugs to exit.
"Loved the selection. Every plant was healthy and full of life. I wanted this place to be my backyard. Friendly helpful staff."

"This is a beautiful garden store in Ft. Collins, Colo. This isn't a discount store but the quality of their plants and merchandise are good quality. We are a cactus/succulent family and we found some very healthy plants, some different than we have found previously. Large facility broken up into manageable rooms for browsing. The employees are there if you need them and the young man at the register was pleasant, knowledgeable and accommodating. If you enjoy spending time at a nursery/garden store there is no reason not to enjoy the Bath Garden Center."
