Default DONT ever buy ladybugs!!

I was listening to science friday on NPR today and they had a buy guy on and
he said never to buy ladybugs. Because they ship them to you and they are
dormant. He said when the ladybug comes out of dormancy the very 1st thing
it does is fly 2-3 miles AWAY from where it comes out of dormancy.

He said this the ladybug method of survival as their other predators are
lurking around during that time. So the ladybug tries to get far away from
the herd as possible.

Unless of course you WANT to give ladybugs to your neighbors!!
