ok, look at my avatar. lady bugs are harvested in CALI and they feed them while they grow them. by the time you purcahse them and bring them to ur growroom they only want to mate. they also will fly toward the sun which is a HID lamp and zap themselves in aday. its a waste of your time and money and a bunch of ladybugs lives. the last thing on their mind is food.

I had no pest problem until these tiny lady bugs showed up. I have only seen a few at a time but I assume they will breed. It's this going to be an issue at any point?

No lady bug will not harm your plants, they are good for them, they eat other bugs that eat your plants. That sucks about them not wanting to eat when you buy them, i had never heard that and was going to try some, but i need them outside anyways so might toss a couple in the box to see what happens, although i am a softy even when it comes to insects.
