a little of both. i put some out last year but it was much later. they hatched in a paper bag than i shook them over my garden. i watched in horror as spiders came out from everywhere and ate them all. i started them much earlier this year and put them in my greenhouse. i did find an egg cluster in my yard over the winter so it appears some from last year did make it. i will also release some "pirate bugs". i released some 2 years ago and they came back last year. i would like to add some more. they work really well. :mrgreen::blsmoke::peace:

Carnivorous Predator Praying Mantis Insect

FDD may i ask what species you have, and how effective they are? Im very interested in going this route. How did you get started?

i think they are just "praying mantis". the pirate bug work really well. they are very small and get down in all the cracks. i think they eat all my thrips because i saw none last year. the mantis will eat just about anything. they even eat wasps. :mrgreen:

i got started a few years ago when i was trying to stop the caterpillars. they come in late in the season and lay eggs within the buds. i needed a way to kill the eggs without harming the buds. the eggs are laid so deep that surface sprays don't get to them. pirate bugs have a long proboscis that they use to stab into their victims and suck out their bodily fluids. perfect for egg hunting. :blsmoke:

i had a few hijack show female preflowers. i'm taking a chance and putting them in the ground. hopefully the genetics are good. i think i will take some cuttings in a month or so and flower them inside to check things out. i have all my santa berry in the ground. some will need to go into pots because i've run out of room. i'm waiting on my hijack F1 cuttings to root then i will put 4 of them in the ground. the rest will go into pots. my kitty is happy. :blsmoke:
