They just started appearing this week.
 
A lot of lady bugs are appearing around MA right now also. Weird how Northeastern weather works, snows one week, and is in the mid-upper 60's the next...although I'm sure the sarracenia don't mind
 
I could have used an invasion of ladybugs earlier this year to control the aphids and mealybugs. I bought a container an released them in the yards around me as a preemptive strike earlier in the year. It must have been too early and they moved on looking for food sources.

Unfortunately during the growing season the containers fly off the shelves as soon as they come in to the garden stores. No regular deliveries so you just have to be there when they come in.
 
They are trying to get any place warm here, I guess its time for them to roost.
 
Awesome! I have a question... whats the difference between red and orange ladybugs? I've heard orange are harmful, but never have been able to confirm it
