About this deal

Humanely packaged live ladybirds and ladybird larva all bursting with health and vitality arrived on the date requested thank you.

We recommend not using chemicals which are known to harm mites or small insects at the same time as MightyBugs. Adults of the most familiar species have brightly coloured (red or yellow) wing cases (elytra) with dark or light spots.

This is due to aphid-eating species being fast-breeding, generalist and voracious, and thus difficult to control. This is similar to the experience in parts of the USA where the harlequin ladybird was originally introduced from Japan as a biological control for aphids.
