Product description
The Convergent Lady Beetle (Hippodamia convergens) is the original broad-spectrum predator of the North American garden. While specialized predatory mites work like scalpels on specific problems, ladybugs are your cleanup crew — generalist hunters that will work through aphid colonies, soft scale, and anything else soft-bodied and slow enough to catch.
We carry Hippodamia convergens specifically because it's the species that belongs here. It evolved alongside the pest pressure you're dealing with, handles the climate, and doesn't create the secondary problems that come with releasing non-native species into your garden or greenhouse.
Not sure where to get ladybugs that actually work? We've been doing this for 20 years. Smaller orders ship in kraft paper tubes — ladybugs are gregarious and settle better clustered together. Bulk ladybugs available for larger grows. Same-week dispatch, Monday through Thursday.
Best For: Fast knock-down of heavy aphid and soft-bodied pest populations.
Speed: They start hunting as soon as they warm up.
The FGMN Standard: Healthy, active, and triple-screened for vigor.
