Since the ladybug is not native to the US there aren't very many of them out there yet. The ladybug only covers a few yards in its lifetime so we are asking a lot of it to cover millions of acres of hemlocks. I hope it happens though.

Fran the logic of your argument may not be good science.  Incarcia formosa is a very small wasp...most people wouldn't even notice it...and yet it's ver effective in controlling greenhouse whitefly.  Again...size isn't everything.
