Ladybirds?

[tigerella]

Hi,
Has anyone ever bought mail order ladybird larvae? I really want to. I've been luckier not to have as much green/blackfly this year but I have two honeysuckles and a cherry tree infested. I haven't seen a ladybird in my garden for the longest time. I want to re-intorduce them.

The nursery I work at has is rife with ladybirds this year, it's great to see. When I go picking the strawberries, they're all over the plants.

I wondered about carefully collecting a some each time I pick and release them upon my plants. I only live down the road so they won't have to travel far. They'll probably just fly away tho, which is why I wanted to try the larvae

Yes.. where have the ladybirds gone to? Zillions of aphids and not a ladybird to be seen round my neck of the woods.
