Don't know about Sandi but my ladybugs shouls be in tomorrow, hopefully
alive & hungry. I ordered mine from planetnatural.com, 2000 for $8.25
delivered.
I also read somewhere that to keep them in your own garden, spray them
with a mixture of soda pop & water--it makes their wings sticky so they
can't fly away & lasts 5-7 days I think. Also, release them at night.
