Re Lady bugs(birds) - adults dont eat aphids only the juvenile stage...dont
buy adults for this year's use.

How certain of this are you?

I have herd that the larva eat *more* than the adults, but that the
adults still eat quite a few. Further, I have seen pictures of
ladybugs eating aphids. Perhaps the photo had more to do with an
argument between the two entities rather than somebody's nutritional
needs? :)
