British Adalia bipunctata per the website, are those ok?
I found a yellow one in my garden, the ants and wold spiders take care of most of the pests.
JWestland-
I really cant remember sorry. I was looking into it and from what I read very few people properly breed them in controlled conditions, these are fine. Some people just take larvae from the wild and can potentially introduce new diseases into local pop
I'll try and find the source
Either way its very expensive and they'll probably just fuck off next door, better to plant things that naturally encourage them into your garden
apc
dont do it
you can introduce new diseases into your local ladybird population, unless you know what you're doing as I vaguely recall there is one specific type that is ok
