Live Ladybirds To Eat Your Aphids

Garden Centre > Garden & Growing Essentials > Pest Control

The ladybird you will receive is Adalia bipunctata, a native to the UK. This ladybird feeds on different types of aphids (greenflies) and can be used on a wide range of plants, indoors and out. Ladybird larvae can eat up to 100 aphids a day and at this stage of their lifecycle are winged, which means they will most likely stay close to their food source. The larvae continue to eat until they are ready to pupate and become adult ladybirds. Once adults they can lay up to 20 to 50 eggs a day, which in turn hatch and eat the aphids. Adults also have a huge appetite and can devour large numbers of aphids. How to apply Ladybird Adults: Ladybirds can be introduced indoors or outdoors when the temperature is above 10°C.
