Should I purchase lady bugs/ preying mantis?
Question:I have heard from some gardener's that purchasing preying mantis/ ladybugs is good for organic gardening. Anybody have experiance with this?
Answers:
Lady bugs love to munch on plant lice. Both the larvae and the adults. Professional gardeners buy them throgh the mail by the thousands to release in their gardens, fields ? Preying mantises eat any thing in the bug family. They overwinter in cocoons hanging from bushes, trees, etc. Look them up on the internet.
i know ladybugs will eat some kind of little bug
I've bought lady bugs before for the aphids on my roses before and it works.
