The larvae need to be on the same type of bush you removed them from or they will not be able to feed.

yes if you can find a plant of the same type and the person / people dont mind just move them.if there ladybird larva however they can go on any plant that has green flie like roses , artichokes etc . people buy these larva for this very job. i hope this has helped take care bye for now .

Print a picture of the larvae off. Laminate it and put next to the bush to inform the kids that they are not pests.

The thing is the kids don't care. That day spiders and any othe rinsects were also victims. They just want to squish whatever they can.

Release some scorpions on to the bush!!!

I don't think scorpions are a good idea Fractal

:-)

Would make the kids think twice before squashing another bug

you wont stop children being children

I never squashed insects - unless I was told they were baddies and to do so. Lack of awareness and education of which bug is which is part of the problem. I was talking to an RSPB training officer just over a week ago and she was telling us about a project they had with children from Glasgow. The children did not even knows the names of daisies and buttercups and thought the word 'buttercup' a very silly one! I worry for the future of our planet when I realise how little many of the children know.

what like common sense moon grower i was talking about turning bacon over to brown on the other side and this teenager nearly 16 said how do you do that. i was joking with a 22 year old lad with children about it and he said well how do you turn bacon over . ive herd more than one young adult ask there parents how to change a light bulb so yes be afraid be very afraid.

Common sense is anything but common these days - in fact it is rare NP (probably should be viewed as an endangered species!)

definatly sounds different called rare sense lol but your so right its scarey xx.

I am really concerned NP that unless the can reconnect the young people on this planet with nature there is little chance for the survival of any of us! Rachel Carson's 'Silent Springs' should surely have been a wake up call to us all - it obviously wasn't and we continue to pollute or planet (and therefore ourselves) by using all sorts of artificial pesticides and herbicides without fully understanding what they are doing. Part of me wants to scream and scream and scream! I want our grandsons and their grandchildren to be able to live happy healthy lives... Oh lord I better stop before I climb so far onto my soap box I can't get off!

it wont help im afraid just enjoy do ya best thats all you can do .
