Linda M. asked (rhetorically):
>> can you imagine EPA telling the public they can't buy ladybugs anymore?
This almost happened last year; there was a proposed regulation that would have
pretty much shut down the beneficial insect business. But a mini-firestorm of
protest from the businesses involved and from organic growers got it revised to
something reasonable. It wasn't the EPA itself but a division of the Ag
department, I think.
