Ladybug larvae are valuable allies for any gardener who wants to get rid of parasites without resorting to pesticides. They can devour up to 150 aphids daily while a ladybug can eat 100.
Ladybug larvae overcome an aphid invasion in 2 to 5 days. Each species of ladybug larva has its own specificities and makes it possible to target certain parasites. The larvae of the 7-spotted ladybug ( Coccinella septempunctata ) are most commonly used in gardens.
