    Ladybugs aphid killers! They do not stand a chance!!! Do any of you use ladybugs in your gardens to control aphids?

    • @mikefrost3955
      @mikefrost3955 6 років тому +7

      Home Farm Ideas, I use them for my marijuana grow room. They work great but only the young ones really hunt and kill stuff. The adults just hang out In their colony,breed and nibble raisins lol. But the young ones will definitely take care of your problem if your willing to make a ladybug colony for them. If you just let them loose theyll just die off within a couple days.

    • @homefarmideas
      @homefarmideas  6 років тому +6

      Mike Frost I agree, the young ones work the best! Are you talking about actually making a colony just to get young ones? That would be a cool idea!!

      Mike Frost if you could figure out a way to do it another really good bug that eats aphids is the hover fly larva:)

      @mikefrost3955 6 років тому +5

      Yes its a ladybug breeding colony lol. Had it going for almost'3 years now and I love it. Started using them because I bought a batch of cloned plants from someone and they were infested and it spread to the rest of mine. Ended up just killing 75% of that whole crop... But havent had an issue since

    Works way better if you build them a colony. I use a plastic bin with a top that has holes they can get in and out of. I put a big wet sponge inside for their water source and raisins for the adults. The adults will breed like crazy, the babys will hunt and kill your mites and youll never have an issue..

  • @JanusHoW
    @JanusHoW 3 роки тому +33

    The fact that ladybugs are such voracious hunters of aphids are one of the main reasons they have the name, and there is very strong evidence to support this.
    The story goes is that in the Middle Ages, farmers across Europe who had aphid problems would pray to the Virgin Mary for aid. The farmers believed that Mary would send the insects, garbed in colors similar to those she wore, to help the farmers by eating the aphids. Of course, it was just a case of predators seeking out their prey, but the people had no way of really knowing that.
    The evidence to support this tale? The following are all terms in different languages for the ladybug:
    Arca de la Mare de Deu - “Mother of God’s Ark” - Catalan
    Gallinetta de la Mare de Deu - “Mother of God’s Chicken” - Catalan
    Bubamara - “Mary’s Beetle” - Croatian
    Mariehøne - “Mary’s Hen” - Danish
    Onzer-lieve-vrouwe Beestje - “Our Dear Lady’s Little Creature” - Dutch
    Bete de la Vierge - “The Virgin’s Creature” - French
    Frauenkäferlein - “Our Lady’s Little Beetle” - German (Bohemia)
    Scarpa de la Madona - “The Madonna’s Shoe” - Italian (Turin)
    Jungfru Maria Nyckelpiga - “Virgin Mary’s Key Maid” - Swedish
    The other main reason ladybugs are named for the Virgin Mary is that the European variety happens to have seven spots, which people believed to symbolize the Virgin's Seven Joys and Seven Sorrows.

    These orange insects are not Ladybugs. A Google search explains that these are called Asian Lady Beetles, an invasive species. Ladybugs have a red exoskeleton with 11 spots, while an Asian Lady Beetle has an orange and yellow exoskeleton with approximately 19 spots.

So, I captured her and put her in one of my Egyptian Flower Pots! I still don't know the name of the species of flower, but I know that it never dies, looks like a sonogram player and I see it in many Egyptian Papyrus/Drawings from the Ancient Egypt Temples. #WritingsOffTheWall

By the time, they warm up enough to consider flying away, they're already accustomed to their surroundings and have observed the aphids, which they hunger for, so the lady bugs decide to stay.

    But also shocked me is that you went out and you bought livestock to solve your own mistakes.
