butterfly................

these are dragonfly larvae. they live in the water until they get this big. then they crawl out and stick to the edge of the pond. after a short time in the pupa stage they emerge from the shell and fly away.

these are the ones that are causing damage. the only bad bug in my garden. i've been picking them off and throwing them in the fish pond.

Looks to me like Mexican bean beetles.

i was asking my wife the same thing this afternoon. the bag says 2 - 8 weeks, i double checked. we've had temps in the 80's for 2 months now. i put them outside in the shade on june 7. i bought some last year that didn't hatch either. i need them for the night moths. come on mantis......

 

[abudsmoker]

they are all over my garden the only problem is that my plants are inside and the bugs are outside

 

[cali-high]

i bought 3 eggs(preying mantis) for $14 shipped.


im waiting on them cant wait. i bet you they will hatch

 

[fdd2blk]

bugs are cool, that would be really fun to hatch a praying mantis, how exciting.

hello new member and welcome. i'm glad to see another bug lover among us.

 

[BloodShotI'z]

So if they dont hatch can you get your money back?

 

[abudsmoker]

i love the bugs. my grass hopper is still hanging out. like i said i had 1 all year last year. he keeps jumping from plant top to plant top. i can go out right now and check each plant and i will find him. just 1 though. kinda odd.

i use ladybugs. indoors i have no bugs other then gnats. if you look at my bud under a microscope you will see them stuck to it. they add a slight spicy tone to the flavor of the bud.

i got gnats, do they destroy ur plant?

the larvae will eat your roots. try "predator nematodes". if you google it you will find a site that ships to you. predator nematodes only live in soil though.

there are many products out there that will control gnats. i have gnats. i see them on my nuggies when i look at my trichromes. i can't get rid of them. my plants are alive but i don't think the gnats are doing any good. if you have a hydro store or a nursery they can help. i only use organics but i think there is a new gnat product out that is organic. i'm rambling............
