I am not looking to make a bunch of money off these but I just happen to have a natural abundance of the little cannabis dwellers. If anyone needs a few let me know and I will box up a few and send em to you. Cover the shipping and maybe a tiny tip and you got yourself a box of ladybugs in the mail.
Hmm..trades for seeds...whatever. :thumbsup:
Let me know. I seem to have created a natural habitat and would be happy to share the wealth.
Seriously, anyone....?
I am looking at 25 on my ceiling now. I know where there are at least 50 more.
do ladybugs benifit a growroom/plant? if so how?
Lady bugs are generally considered useful insects that feed on aphids or scale insects, which are pests in gardens, agricultural fields, orchards, and similar places.Quote:

"Hexapodal double agents.":wtf:
Asian Ladybeetles look very much like good ol' American Ladybugs but they are vegans!
Their Adults, and possibly their larvae, will nosh on your salad!:mad:
Look for a black "W" on their thorax.
(Or an "M" if it's facing da udder way.):)
Image Reaper tipped me to it.
How 'bout it. IR?
Could you post those pics here?
Aloha y'all

Asian lady beetles have more spots (19 or so), bite!, and can range from pale yellow to deep orange in color.

Genuine Ladybugs have about 7 spots, no "W", and a small head with 2 tiny "eyespots".

A little off perhaps, but the pics and descriptions are spot on.
Appearently they are not Vegans.
I just looked it up.
I had accepted the "eat greens" info in another thread without checking, my bad.:o ( I should know better, but one can usually trust my source.):wtf:
I stand corrected.:)
Aloha Jakester, thanks for keepin' me honest.:thumbsup:
Oh, and the articles all say that what you have, is Asian lady beetles.
They swarm in the fall, enter houses.
But don't lay eggs while swarming.
Real Ladybugs, don't swarm.
No kill da messenger.
You might still have somthin' to sell.
They do eat aphids and scale.
They're just a PIA in the fall
They'll prolly be good bug eaters in the spring.
For the complete skinny, just google; "asian lady beetle vs ladybug".
As for Wiki?
Puhleeze!
Not a good source.
Did I mention that I was once the president of Tuva?
What, you no believe me?
Jus' gimme 8 minutes, then look it up on Wikipedia!:rastasmoke:;):D
Good luck wit da sales.
Weeze
No prob Weez, most of your posts are spot on, this is the only thing I seen you miss.Quote:
