Question:
Craboza asked:
I want them to eat the bad things.
Will they eat aphids and other bad bugs in there?
Or anything that is not the crabs?
I want them to keep all possible parasites out.
If I can use ladybugs, how many can I put in? Where do I get them? Thank you.
Answer:
Bugboy (aka King Arthur-Pod) answered:
Don’t…..lady bugs are toxic, that’s the reason for the orange and black coloring.
If one should die and the crabs eat it, could be harmful.
Put one on the tip of your tongue, you’ll know how nasty they really are (OK so I’m an entomologist and only we do crazy stuff like licking beetles).
