    Now that I have the ladybugs (I just stored them in the fridge so that I can water the garden tonight and then release them). Should I release all 1,500 of them or release about 1/3 and if so, how often should I release the rest of them?
    And will the remaining ones be ok, taken in and out of the fridge?

    TaraLou :rolleyes:

    MC, they are good bugs. Eating the bad ones (aphids, and others).
    SO if you see any ladybugs in your garden, be happy!
