ive heard lots of stories about ladybugs flying into hid lights and frying...
then again ive never tried it. i wonder how effective just one ladybug would be anyhow?

well im using cfls, and my plant will be small but if i have one ladybug and no bugs right now i think it will be effective at killing them if they come cause i dont think bugs come in swarms but in smaller numbers at first then spawn. and i was using one ladybug as an example, if i catch 2 im not gonna throw one out and keep the other lol.

1000 lady bugs covers 100 square feet though I suspect that's more for maintanace than a full blows infection. people usually wait until they already have a problem to grab the lady bugs so the numbers needed should be rounded up 10-20% imo
lady bugs work peroid ,,my friend uses them he buys them off wormsway 1500 lady bugs for like 25 bucks and he lets half go they work awsome they go into a wet matchbox after they are done and die or chill so he lets them go after but they live the hole time never usually die one or 2 might out of 1500 but ya seriously i couldnt believe it they are like his buddys on his crop he even fucking names the pricks lol
There's a nursery called Green Arrow over in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles that sells pre-fed ladybugs (1400+ per container) for around $7 USD. I'm on my second batch right now, my mites are under control at the moment with them.
