TARGET PESTS

Scientific Name: Hippodamia convergens

Aphids, Mealybugs, Spider Mites, Thrips, & many other soft-bodied insects.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Live Hippodamia convergens ladybugs for natural pest control. Shipped fresh, pre-fed, and ready to protect your plants from aphids and other garden pests.

Must have general predator! Preventative care is key!

Hippodamia convergens are native ladybugs found throughout the USA! NaturesGoodGuys (a.k.a. Soldier Bugs) pre-fed Ladybugs are the best general soldiers in any organic garden, greenhouse, grow room, patio, rooftop garden, interiorscape, or anywhere pests exist.

Adults can thrive for weeks or months in a variety of temperatures and humidities as long as they have adequate food and water. To help ladybugs stay ahead of the pest lifecycle, we suggest introducing them multiple times throughout the growing season. 

WHY LADYBUGS?

  • Ladybugs are predatory in both their larval and adult stages
  • Ladybugs do the work for you. Introduce them into the desired area and watch them defeat bad bugs that damage your plants.
  • Support your backyard ecosystem! See improvements in the health of your plants without introducing harmful chemical pesticides.
  • Maximize your harvest - healthy plants produce more.
  • Natural, sustainable, and people, pet, & planet friendly.
LADYBUG FUN FACTS
  • There are over 400 species of ladybugs in North America
  • Female ladybugs will lay over 1,000 eggs in their lifetime.
  • Ladybugs protect themselves against predators by creating a chemical that tastes bad to other bugs.
  • Ladybugs hibernate during cold temperatures! During hibernation, they will survive on their stored fat (pollen).
  • Ladybugs chew from side to side rather than up and down.
  • Ladybugs beat their wings 85 times per second when they fly.
LADYBUG LIFECYCLE Ladybug Lifecycle SPOT OUR LADYBUG

Our ladybugs are easy to spot! The black area behind the head has two white, “converging” lines that set them apart from other lady beetles. Our species of ladybugs are native to the USA!

Left: Convergent Ladybug (Hippodamia convergens)Right: European 7 Spotted Ladybug (Coccinella septempunctata)

 

INTRODUCTION RATES Preventative/Light: 1 ladybug per sq. ft., monthly Moderate: 1 ladybug per sq. ft., bi-weekly, 2-3 timesHeavy: 1 ladybug per sq. ft., weekly, 2-4 times It's important to note that these introduction rates serve as general guidelines and may vary based on the specific pest species, the crop or plant being treated, and level of infestation. Proper monitoring of the infestation and the subsequent effectiveness of the released beneficial insect population is crucial for determining the success of the biological control strategy. PRO TIPS
  • Power Pair - Green lacewings & ladybugs are an impressive team. They will co-exist and both feed on aphids and other soft-bodied pest insects. Lacewing larvae can consume up to 60 aphids a day.
  • Keep your beneficial insects fed and attract native bugs to your garden or farm with our Good Bug Diet - A food supplement for your good bugs that contains fats, proteins, fiber, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, amino acids, vitamins, lactose, and sucrose.
  • Introduce beneficial insects to your houseplants and potted plants with our Beneficial Insect Netting! No need to worry about your ladybugs flying around your home or grow room.
  • Proper identification of the pest species is important. Monitoring the crop closely and introducing beneficial insects early will help in control pest populations.
  • Pesticides, even wetting agents, and spreader-stickers may adversely affect beneficial insects' survival. Broad spectrum and systemic insecticides are toxic.
APPLICATION Releasing Ladybugs in your garden or farm is a simple process! INTRODUCTION SITES Ladybugs can be used indoors, outdoors, or anywhere that pests exist. Use in gardens, greenhouses, indoor grows, lawns, orchards, vineyards, and more! INTRODUCTION FREQUENCY Introduce multiple times throughout the growing season to stay ahead of the pest life cycle. INTRODUCTION METHOD

 

PREPARE:
  • Mist leaves to improve habitat. Adequate food and moisture prompt immediate reproduction.
INTRODUCE:
  • Introduce indoors at any time, or outdoors in the morning, evening, or on a cloudy day. Avoid direct sunlight.
  • Introduce multiple times throughout the growing season to stay ahead of the pest life cycle.
STORAGE For best results, introduce immediately upon receipt. If storage is necessary, store at 36-45°F in original packaging for no longer than 14 days. DISCLAIMER / SHIPPING POLICY

Photos of the insects and packaging may be required. Our team will assess the situation and work toward a suitable resolution.

IMPORTANT DETAILS

  • The "Live Delivery Guarantee" applies only to the condition of the insects upon delivery and does not cover loss due to incorrect storage or later perish-ability.
  • We evaluate eligibility on a a case-by-case basis, considering factors like species, hatching times, and temperature conditions.
  • Replacements are processed and shipped on Wednesdays & Thursdays only.

UPON DELIVERY

  • Open your package immediately and check for storage instructions. Some insects require refrigeration, and improper storage voids the guarantee.
  • Ice packs are not expected to remain frozen upon arrival—they are only used to help regulate temperature and moisture during transit.
  • Some insects may appear inactive at first. Allow time for them to adjust before assessing viability. Many species require magnification to be seen clearly. 

SHIPPING CONSIDERATIONS

  • Some species or quantities have limited shipping options to ensure short transit times for viability. 
  • If you are concerned about insect health during transit, we recommend selecting overnight shipping to reduce stress and improve survival rates.
SHIPPING & PROCESSING PROCESSING TIME Orders placed by 12 PM PT may be eligible for same-day processing when possible. However, please allow 1-3 business days for processing, as product availability may vary. While we strive to process orders as quickly as possible, same-day processing is not guaranteed.

Some insects require Overnight shipping due to their viability timeline. HARVEST DELAYS

We do our best to keep all products in stock, but nature doesn’t always follow our schedule! Because we work with the natural reproductive cycles of living organisms, occasional delays may occur.

Some insects are harvested on specific days, and at times, a harvest may be delayed. If this happens, we will ship your order as soon as possible and notify you via email or phone if there is a significant delay.

SEASONAL & WEATHER DELAYSExtreme weather and seasonal conditions can impact shipping times and the viability of live insects. To ensure the best possible arrival, we may delay shipments during severe heat waves, cold spells, or other extreme conditions. If your order is affected, we will hold it temporarily and ship when conditions improve. You will be notified via email or phone if there is a significant delay.

CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS  Due to our high order volume, any changes or cancellations must be requested within 30 minutes of placing your order. If your order has already entered production, we will do our best to accommodate your request, but we cannot guarantee modifications or cancellations at that stage.
