The ladybugs purchased in March (Amazon.com) for the aphid infestation have all been released. At least half of them perished in the fridge. Most of the remaining bugs are dying in the hot tub room, despite having plenty of water around and plenty of aphids to eat. The temp there today is ~73 deg F. The bugs mostly walk around a bit climb around the eggplants and tomatoes and the bell pepper, then eventually die.
I bought 1500 ladybugs ($10) from Marshalls Pet & Garden today. release scheduled for tonight after sunset. A third every two days.
