In the UK there are people who are selling and breeding ladybird (coccinelladae) both in adult and larval forms. They cannot be exported here. These little bugs are excellent aphid controllers, but are affected by general aphid sprays. Is anyone in Aust. doing anything similar? I would be very interested in attempting to breed them myself if I could get hold of some larval stock. I live in S.A.
