Marc,
There used to be a place somewhere in the midwest called the Bug Factory.
This place sold predator insects. I had a URL at one time but no longer. You
may want to search for this place.
Also try pointing your browser at this site:
http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/ent/biocontrol/
There is some interesting stuff there.
