How to raise ladybugs

Ladybugs have lovely spots on their wings, and because of this, they are welcomed by people all over the world. Although ladybugs are most suitable for living in nature, you can also try to raise ladybugs at home as long as they are provided with plenty of food, water and a place to live.

Ladybugs are suitable to be raised in rectangular boxes of glass or plexiglass. 26cm * 16cm * 18cm is suitable for the box. Iron gauze is used as a cover on the container to prevent ladybugs from escaping. Keep 6-8 ladybugs per box.

The box can put 2 or 3 washed ink bottles, a grand half bottle of water, and some plants such as roses or cherry blossoms with more aphids on the leaves, which are mainly fed, and can also be fed with plant-based feeds such as diamond meat, eggplant, tomatoes, beans, fruits, stems and tender leaves of melons.

Change varieties frequently and clean containers in time to remove leftover food and insect dung and other dirt. Feeding ladybugs can also make artificial feed: chopped with fresh pig liver, add honey, mash well and refrigerate at the ratio of 5:1, when in use, put it back into the bucket and add water to mix and feed.
