    Very expensive to have it shipped via the worst shipping company for living things.

    Very expensive to have it shipped via the worst shipping company for living things.
    For some reason they shipped live creatures through UPS, so my $40 only got me nine living bugs total. Rather than the 20-26 that was advertised. Probably because they didn't ship quickly, were late, and were shipped with a company that doesn't care. So most of the larvae were probably cooked to death. Definitely not worth $40 since they don't ship with care. Attached photo is of the container with only four living ladybug larvae. Very disappointed since they weren't cheap, but they definitely shipped cheap with no choice given for a different carrier. Not worth it, would order elsewhere.

    I had an issue with the first group of lady bug larvae that was sent to me. They were all dead. I wrote to Insect Lore and let them know. Insect Lore sent me a replacement free of charge pretty quickly. This group is thriving and doing fine. They are getting ready to go into the pupae stage. Then it's about a week and they emerge as ladybugs! I can then let my grandchildren set them free in my backyard!

    As with my disappointing caterpillars, there is not nearly as many ladybugs in the tube as shown in the picture and as was delivered in past order directly from insect lore direct. Also barely any food in the tube too. Will never order here again, worth a few dollars more to order direct from Insect Lore site. Disappointing

    I’ve ordered these tubes before, but I usually get at least 10 bugs. This time I got 4. I’m very disappointed. That’s about $4 a big! Steep price for a little bug. It is not that they died in transit. There just weren’t many bugs to begin with.

    There were only 4 larvae but there must’ve been eggs in the tube too because eventually, I got a few more lady larvae!

    5.0 out of 5 stars So very pleased
    Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    So, I ordered these babies because I had a pretty massive aphid infestation on my balcony garden, but the only full-grown ladybug options seemed extreme. I didn't think 300-1,000 buggies were necessary for my little 12x5 space and last season some of these dudes showed up naturally and did the job so well. I had a great time watching them work and grow and live, so I was SUPER excited for this order to arrive (ran downstairs like a kid on Christmas after getting the notification of delivery).

    100% of the little dudes showed up alive, and they made great work on the tasty bugs waiting for them. I've had a wonderful time obsessively checking on them to make sure they're okay (I know they're insects, but I still had to worry). Literally my only complaint is that they sometimes wander off to places where I can't immediately find them, but that's how bugs do! I'm so happy to have found this super reasonably priced, all natural method of pest control, and fully intend to purchase again for the same reason when I inevitably have the same problem next season.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough food included - Eating one another
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I had a bunch of healthy larvae. The ad promises enough food and they will turn into pupae in about a week. That's not happening over here. Its been two weeks and my larvae are eating one another. I offered them pollen, raisins and other things, but they keep eating each other because they did not have enough food. I have watched at least 5 of them get eaten by each other. This didn't happen the first time I had a tube of them.

    I bought these ladybug larvae in an effort to save my indoor plants from spider mites. I made them an enclosure out of an old food container and freed them over time. They would have done the job perfectly if I had ordered them earlier!
