Stinky you are a kind and generous botanist.

I came home with 1500 lady bugs the other day. I released them at the start of "night". When the lights came on 12 hours later they were all in the tray i placed them, but they were not moving around. Most were on their backs squirming their legs around. Very Sad I am a bit sensitive when it comes to creatures...just not mites
I sprayed Neem the day before and think that may have done it?? I dont really know but i spent last night picking up every moving one i could find and putting them outside. I saw a few flying around on my back porch today. Glad a few made it:thumbsup:
I followed the directions...release at night after a watering...temp was around 80..maybe too hot? Or could have been residual from the birethrin bomb i set off 7 days earlier.

by the way i have noticed you always answer the last question first. So tell me.......just kidding you have been too generous with my mistake making self already!! THANK YOU
