Ladybug care guide!
How to catch: look for aphids, once you see aphids look for ladybugs if you see a ladybug just pick it up with your fingers. Then put it in a small temporary container. now you can set that aside, and work on the actual habitat!
Making the habitat: you will need: soil, a small stick going in different directions, a 32 oz jar, Moss or deer lichen, and leaves.
You want to fill the the jar with soil to about an 1in then, add a little bit of moss or deer lichen into the bottom, not to cover the whole bottom, then add the sticks then the leaves. And you're done!
Then add the ladybug and add the food.
Now go back to the place where you find the ladybug and go get some aphids. you can use a brush, to brush them into a container. they will also eat raisins occasionally.
Breeding and sexing: all you got to do is put more ladybugs in there, you can't really sex them, then you wait for eggs, that's what the leaves are for.
Once you have eggs you take out the leaf, and put the leaf in a separate container and wait for them to hatch.
Mist twice a week.
That was the care guide hope you all liked it!
A bit of info I missed.
Once the eggs hatch you release the larvae back were you got the ladybug!
