1500 Live Ladybugs - Good Bugs for Garden - Pre-Fed Hippodamia Convergens for Insects - Guaranteed Live Delivery!

These cute little critters arrived in a very timely manner. Delivery was swift! They have a pleasant smell just like your hands did after catching lightning bugs as a kid. I enjoyed taking them out that very night (if released during the day, they tend to fly away - When released at night they search for the bad bugs/aphids to eat and then stay and rest during the day before searching for more the following night). It was fun just sprinkling a few at the base of my garden plants, blueberry bushes, peachtrees and blackberry bushes. I obviously got a LOT more than ordered. It is so neat to have such cute little bugs and yet they do so much to protect your garden. It had rained earlier in the day so there was plenty of moisture so no need to irrigate beforehand (you might need to do so if you have a dry spell). Instructions and an information sheet are included. I look forward to seeing how effective they are. Their function is twofold: kill the bad bugs and look really cute. I am not sure how they counted them but I got at least twice as many as advertised so it was good value for the money. Plus, they will lay eggs for future gardens in the yard. YAY LADYBUGS!!

Despite the clear label that says don’t leave box in a mailbox, that’s where the box was delivered. Luckily I was home, so it was there only a few minutes. Delivery gets a big fat ZERO.However, the incredible quality of the ladybugs from Clarke’s Organics more than made up for the delivery. There were maybe 15 bugs that were not alive when they arrived. I was shocked—in a very good way. The bugs were incredibly active. I released them by a brush pile I’d soaked, since we’re in the midst of a drought and they had been traveling. The next morning, I found a few still around it. Hopefully they’ll take down the number of woolly aphids floating everywhere, and continue to live here happily.

This spring I found aphids partying in my rosebushes. Last summer mealybugs got to my tomato plants so I was planning to get ladybugs anyway. As soon as I released them they went right to work. They busted up that aphid party. I really wanted to sit there all night and watch them do their thing. 1500 was not enough for all of the places I need ladybugs. Will definitely order more!!

I was very excited to receive these ladybugs as I have always heard that they successfully remove pests from your garden. They arrived as stated and only one was not alive. It tried to escape and got trapped in the metal used to help keep the bag closed. I am giving this company FOUR stars because there were not 1500 ladybugs in the package I received. It was more like 500. That was very disappointing. The ladybugs are still doing their thing and I am happy to say most of them hung around. I think I would order from them again. Hopefully my next order will be counted correctly.

Ladybugs 🐞 arrived this morning around 10:30. I put in refrigerator and then put them in the garden this evening. At first I thought they were dead. To my surprise after a few minutes they started to move. I found none dead. Excellent shipment and packaging. My new favorite go to when I need.

Not 1,500 lady bugs, more like a couple hundred, and then there was around 25% dead in the bottom of the bag. I'm going with malathion next time and save the money.

We waited until dusk to release them. We watered down the tree first so the ladybugs could hydrate from the long journey. I was happy to see them spilling out of their pouch and onto the tree. The next morning, about 1/3 of the ladybugs were still in the pouch. Looking further I could see they were dead. I opened the pouch fully to see for certain and they all spilled out onto the ground. I've included a picture of them dead in the pouch and on the ground. I could understand a few dead, but 1/3 seems like a lot. I'm sure I'll need more later as it is a big tree and it is a big spider mite infestation. Not sure I would buy this product again.

Kind of expensive bugs but I'd buy again. The first batch only about 200 made it alive. Texas heat is brutal and they don't last long in a hot sun beaten mailbox. Contacted them and they resent another one quick as can be. Still lost about 25% but got to them earlier after delivery so very pleased with customer service. Only suggestion is to have them dropped at the door vs mailbox. I think more would survive.
