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.

"What a fun and whimsical nursery. There is something for everyone. It feels like every turn you find another treasure. Pricing is boutique-like but plenty of items on the under $15 side. We went in today for greeting cards and found the perfect cards for my grandma. I've purchased many garden supplies and plants here as well. They always have great quality and variety. The owner is amazing, generous, and community focused."
