Finally broke down and bought one of the ladybug bags at ACE Hardware! If you haven't seen these, it's a bag of say 500 live ladybugs, and it's sort of sad to see them in that little bag, but all the more reason to buy them and let them go! Since our tomato plants are doing well, we decided this might help keep the bugs away! Adelyn missed out on the release this time, but if we need more next year we'll include her in the fun :)
I'm ready! 
Trying to coax them out onto the tomato plants...
She loves holding ladybugs, but wasn't too thrilled with the though of them climbing all over her, so she was pretty timid holding the bag. Then I decided to hold it more open and out they came!!
We just pulled out the netting they were hanging on and put it up in the peach tree so they could disperse on their own...
We have yet to see too many hanging around, but a few here and there... was still fun even if they aren't just everywhere! Next year we might have to go for the praying mantis egg sac! :)
