The Dusky Ladybird is a small predatory ladybird. It is primarily an aphid predator, however it will also predate on a wide variety of alternative prey, including psyllid and whitefly eggs, mites, and the eggs of larger insects such as butterflies and moths.

We have no experience with controlling the Giant Willow Aphid, and have reservations as to how effective these organisms would be.

Product Information
Adults and juveniles are aphid predators, feeding on aphids of all life stages, from juveniles to adults. Larvae paralise aphids and suck their body fluids out, generally through a leg or antenna.
Both adults and larvae predate on the tomato/potato psyllid on capsicum and peppers, both eggs and juveniles.
Our ladybirds are reared in our insectary, we do not collect ladybirds from the wild (for sale) as is practised in other parts of the world.
