Gardening-tip:

Lady BeetlesCommonly known as Lady Bugs, eat aphids, mealybugs and many different types of insect eggs.
If you want to use them as beneficials in your garden, release them at night, or keep them in their wire topped containers for a day or so before release.
Either technique will help keep them in the area, and working on your specific insect problems, instead of just flying away.
