I would say is a good thing. If not enough food they will die off. What kind of ladybugs are they? Any adult pictures?

As John says they will die off if there isn't enough to eat. I make a food for them, and put it around on litttle squares of cardboard, To keep some alive for the aphids that WILL return.

1 part brewers yeast
1 part honey
water
If you want to make a spray use more water or a paste use less. Since I have mine inside like you I make a paste.

Well I got the ladybugs from a freind of mine's basement, Im not sure what kind they are and I dont think my camera will take close up pics too well but ill try. Some orange some red and some in between, as far as color goes. Im not too sure about how to tell different kinds of ladybugs apart. lol

It doesn't really matter what kind they are if they are feeding. I get them (inside) on a large south window during winter & they do not seem interrested in feeding when I relocate them to indoor plants. Lucky you! I order mine from I forget what online source when need for indoor plants.

I was just curious!

Talk about buggy! I only submitted once.

Oh well...

I use unsulfered honey and yeast as supplemental food too. Have only seen adults feeding & like little idiots getting stuck or drowning. The adults also feed on pollen.

Granted they aren't too bright but the paste seems to not cause sticking or drowning. I once tried to use yellow sticky traps for white fly at the same time as the ladybugs and the poor things had a terrible time.

ladybugs are a godsend! dont kill them if you have to many, let some go.

Will Ladybugs also eat and control mites.

maybe this year, I will have the same luck!
