/Thanks for your answer. I will hope they are really in my neighborhood.
I've not seen anything that looks the insect pictured but perhaps they hide
when I go to my garden, then return as soon as I've gone back inside.

Hi Betty, You don't need to look far as they are probably already around.
Just provide them with habitat and don't spray poisons. When you spray for
the bad guys you kill the good guys. I wouldn't purchase them as there are
plenty in your neighborhood already. If you are spraying it doesn't make
sense to purchase them as you will kill them also. And yes they really like
aphids, as do the ladybug and their larvae.
