🐞 Convergent Lady Beetle
Ladybugs · species reference
The one in every garden-centre tub — and FIELD-COLLECTED, not farmed: gathered by the gallon from overwintering aggregations in the Sierra Nevada. They wake up programmed to migrate, so most leave within a few days. Refrigerate on arrival, release at dusk on watered plants, and treat them as a season's help rather than residents.
