I have no idea. I was told ladybugs for aphids. This was the best buy. I haven't seen one since the night I released them and haven't seen any aphids either.Jim

Not sure how far you are planning to look, but based upon the few times I've observed terrestrial objects I am fairly confident I could spot a ladybug on a blade of grass at 500 yards which is a bit more than 1/4 mile!

I don't see how it would hurt them.I'm currently raising caterpillars and the nectar for the ladybugs is organic material similar to flower nectar which is what the caterpillars would eat in the wild also, so it should be fine.

No names on items but each one is a different variety. I had no duplicates. All were healthy on arrival with no pests as in previous answer. I lost only three but due to putting them in too much sun initially.

Not sure I had mostly German roaches and saw the big ones we call Palmetto bugs once in a while. Haven't seen either in a few months.

I used the ladybugs on my flower garden. It's been a few year since I tried it (I just did the review recently, but I track my plants and documented the effort) I do remember a few showing up after the initial group left. They didn't stay either!

I can't remember the dimensions, but I think most should...the dragonfly may be a little long though and not sure if the ladybug would be a bit wide. Would definitely fit in the larger sized plastic eggs

If kept in refrigerator better chance of survival before releasing. Once you let the ladybugs loose in your yard, it is best to have watered first so they will stick around. There are no guarantees on these cute little bugs. I buy them every year because grandson so enjoys them. It is best to have plants growing in yard so they will stick around for a while. Otherwise they will migrate to a yard that has more flowers and plants. And especially if a plant has a lot of aphids on it. They love aphids.

My set came with stakes for each lady bug. I absolutely love them and bought another set for my daughter. I do not know anything about the different sizes....

I called this company. They are not Asian, but Native California lady bugs--or so he said. :)

Be wary of buying ladybugs, they are great pest control BUT if you buy them, many places are selling "wild caught" ladybugs that could be infected with diseases. Google for more info about this, and try to only buy lab raised bugs.

That's about the size the ones I was dealing with were. I believe they were German roaches, if that helps. Just make sure you use the 12-month ones, the other kinds don't work. I think they probably use stronger stuff in the 12-month ones.

I can't answer that question for you. My bugs arrived fine, all alive, etc. but when I put them on thehibiscus bush to take care of my problem they were all dead within one hour! Have no idea what wentwrong.

Not sure. I used dish soap in a sprayer and spray about every 10 days. What I have found is to spray plants with a sugar water to let the ladybugs stay and not fly away. Insecticidal spray will probably kill lady bugs. Check your garden center.

The box is labeled "Live Ladybugs" It's so the carriers know to be careful not to squash them.

Yes they r fully adult. They also will mate and have more ladybugs hope that help answer ur questions only release them at night time but spray ur tree with water before putting lady bug in ur tree and when they arrive in mail wet them a bit so they can have water to drink and open bag then leave bag in tree and they will come out
