Did you know you can buy a bag of live ladybugs??? Well, you can and we did this past summer. Sounds strange right? We had a ton of aphids and so we went down to our local nursery and bought a bag of ladybugs. They are kept in a fridge and when they are cold they sleep. When they are brought back to room temperature they come alive! It's a pretty cool thing to watch. It was a great photo op for me (since I LOVE ladybugs!) and my daughter was sooo excited. Unfortunately, we couldn't keep them around long enough to feed on the aphids and so sadly, they all flew away.
Maybe we will try again this summer....
