Default Ladybugs for Mealie control

I never tried it, but I was told that you need to water
well before releasing the ladybugs because if they can't
find water, they will leave almost immediately.

I found this to be true as well...the bugs arrive feeling
very thirsty...and they'll drink water from droplets that
they find and stay put for awhile. I realized this only
AFTER I had released a bunch of bugs...as soon as I watered,
they all settled down for a nice, long drink and then went
leisurely about, scouring for bugs.
