WHY ARE LADYBUGS GOOD FOR YOUR GARDEN?
A common plant predator in your garden is a bug called an aphid. Aphids are a nuisance because they suck the sap out of plant stems. This will eventually kill the plant.

They love to eat them so much in fact, that they can eat up to 60 aphids per day!
Ladybugs are an excellent choice to keep aphid populations at bay in your garden. Supplied with the right conditions, ladybugs will be a great garden companion for the summer months!
