Biological control of aphids - Aphelinus abdominalis

Parasitic wasps are very often used to control populations of agricultural pests. Aphelinus first searches its prey with its antenna. Then it swings around and curls up the tips of the wings. The female stabs her ovipositor into the aphid, to paralyze it. Next, she pierces the underside of the aphid with her ovipositor to inject an egg. Inside the aphid, the egg will develop through four larval stages. The larva will spin a cocoon inside the aphid, causing it to swell. An adult Aphelinus will eventually leave the black mummy of the aphid.The newly born wasp instantly starts to look for aphids to parasitize or feed on.

Does this pose a problem for the ladybug populations in the garden?
Will a ladybug eat an aphid that has been paralyzed by a wasp and ingest the larvae thereby becoming its food?
I guess the bottom line is my wanting to know if I can use both together.
I use ladybugs right now, but sometimes in the spring the aphids get out of hand while the ladybug population is in its reproductive cycle and I wanted to know if I can treat the garden with wasps for these outbreak infestations.
Thanks for the video!

Wow, it behaves in a more elegant way compared to Aphidius colemani.

I have not seen such beneficial insects here in Peshawar Pakistan. These are wonderful which ultimately control the attack of harmful insects. How can we introduce such beneficial insects in our environment.
