Last night I released 1500 live ladybugs into the yard...
Their mission? To annihilate (devour) the aphids found sucking the life juices out of the rose bushes...
Because I want to see more of these next year...
And I really want to see more of these...
Speaking of next year, I'll order the ladybugs a little bit earlier, as the aphids were really worst a couple of weeks ago. Interestingly, the ladybugs ($10 on Amazon) will survive, dormant, for weeks in the fridge...so if they're ordered early, they can just chill out (HA!) until they're needed.
