Ladybugs and Butterflies

11 years ago

I've got a bit of an aphid issue in my tomatoes right now. Reading up, I saw the suggestion of ladybugs to manage them, and thought that sounded like a fun solution. But reading a little more, I found claims that ladybugs also eat moth eggs. My question- do they feed on other beneficial or at least interesting bugs I might want to protect? In particular, I have a small butterfly garden not all that far from my tomatoes (milkweed, assorted flowers) and don't want to just be setting up a butterfly trap...
