so i never realized how cheap lady bugs are. so are praying mantis. i found a site:

http://gardeningzone.com/shopping_cart.php?sort=3a

$7.00 for 1500 of them.

with that many i would feel bad cause they wouldnt have enough to eat. maybe i could try to infest em with spider mites, but with that many damn lady bugs they would probably be massacred lol

Lady bugs rule until they start attacking your lights. Next thng you know you have dead lady bugs all over the place!

They are perfect for outdoors though.

ive allways used them (sence 94) because the lady who taught me 2 grow told me 2 use them, she said they eat and kill bugs/mites and dont hurt your plants at all, she told me 2 all ways put a few in my room just in case, why use posion when you can use lady bugs
