  Mary S. asked:

  Hey all! Mainly addressing gardener folks here, anyone know where I can get ladybugs? I'd rather not buy them off line and I don't believe the ecology center has any. A ladybug farmer would be ideal cause I know collected ones can bring in invasive ladybugs to the area. Thanks much kids!

  I would highly discourage you from buying "ladybugs" in general. Many beneficial ladybugs are harvested from the mountains of California and then shipped across the United States. When they arrive they're disoriented, confused and often leave the location you release them in search of their home. If you're going to release beneficials, I'd recommend going with a breeder like BioBest that specializes in specific predators for specific pests. In particular, if I were to buy a beneficial, I would buy Green Lacewing Larvae: http://www.biobestgroup.com/en/biobest/products/biological-control-4463/beneficial-insects-and-mites-4479/chrysopa-system-4654/
