* Little Ladybug *

The lady bug is quite an interesting little insect. Although they seem so cute, they are actually quite ferocious carnivores and feed off of a wide variety of smaller insects. 

Many people purchase lady bugs in very large quantities to help rid them of other pests that so often damage and destroy crops and garden plants. I have been told that you can store them in a refrigerated state for a period of time. This procedure is said to confuse them and they tend to remain in generalized area after they are released.
