Catching ladybirds

Hi, recently I have seen a lot of ladybirds around my home and I have one tree at my terrace that has a lot of green flies (a small bug that I have discovered that the ladybirds feed on it).

So this morning I caught more or less eight ladybirds and I will prove if they can eat the green flies...did you do something similar? could you give me any advice? Let´s see what´s happen!!

Jaja...I was laughing with your comment Gleb....don´t worry I have a job, I am married and I have three kids!!  I just like the life of the bugs!! :)

Aegis thanks for you comment...I know that these bugs can call ladybirds or ladybugs but I had no idea about that this is a difference between UK and US.

   Good luck with your experiment Pluvio.

 

   I have  3    clear plastic storage tubs  that my garden plants are in until the threat of frost is over.

 

   I opened the  lid for a few minutes this morning, and when I looked back, there was a red  ladybug on one of my Basil Plants. It was nice to see.

 

   I have   about 5 varieties of Tomatoes,  Sweet Basil,   Squash, Sugar Pumpkins,  Cucumbers to put out.

 

     I can also go to the  Garden Store not far from my home and buy a whole package of Ladybugs to put out and I can also buy a package or "Preying Mantis"  to put out.

@Pluvio - I see that they use "ladybird" in the UK. We use "ladybug" in the US. Just be glad that you haven't been seeing a lot of "ladyboys" around your house.

@Gleb - "advice" is a noun. The verb you are seeking is "advise". By the way, that was a nice bit of trolling; I'm jealous.
