It's a good idea, but isn't this the wrong time of year for ladybugs?

Right now and through winter is the time when green lacewings are laying eggs
and their larvae are voraciously eating insects through the winter, into late

garden. I have never used a pesticide in my yard and now in our third year
here, the beneficial populations have built up to an enormous level.
