The good thing with lady birds is they won't go anywhere if they don't have to.So I got about five and put them on my windowbox chillis and courgettes and they cleared them off and pupated. WHen they harched they layed the next batch and they just hatched, took about a week.
They're ferocious killers.

It is amazing watching themin my last garden the ants had taken to farming the aphids for their sticky sweet liquid, so they were constantly protecting them like shepherds, while the ladybird larvae hung out around the edges of the plant waiting for their chance, like wolves

I had to remove some weedsin my other house. They were infested with aphids. As soon as I got near I was attacked and bitten quite badly by an army of ants. It's fascinating how those little chaps work.

I hadn't realised those Lady Birds were such bad mother fuckers.
