2June17. We have found a couple aphids on the plants and there is herbivory damage on others. Here's the plan (thought we won't hang the lacewing cards on the plants):
Hi Lauren,
I was looking at the prices for ladybugs and you can get 4500/bag for $21.00 that could be distributed weekly for the duration of your project. How does this sound? I can get it sent to Monica today to order and would arrive next week. It does say it requires a minimum order of $25.00. You may want to consider ordering in lacewing eggs on cards to hang in your plants too. 1,000/card at $14.50. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Ladybugs and lacewings will arrive 8vi17. Mari will release the first batch of ladybugs the evening of 8vi17. They settle best by misting the plants first and releasing them in the evening before dark. Megan will set up the lacewing eggs by the end of 9vi17. The eggs hatch 3-5 days after shipment date.
