YES, THEY ARE! Unfortunately Bacillus thuringiensis DOES HARM many beneficial insects in the garden. A scientific study to look at the higher Death Rate, reduced growth and reduced appetite of a number of beneficial species including Ladybugs, Jewel wasps, and Dragonfly nymphs was conducted in 2007. (Praying mantids were to be studied in a follow up research effort.) Effects of Bioinsecticides on Beneficial Insects: What Will be the Outcome of Land and Aquatic Bioaccumulation? Presented to Missouri Junior Academy of Science By David Joel Freeman April, 2007. So in your home or larger scale garden consider the harm that one 'good bacterial toxin' can do to other 'good insects' when they are used together.

What are some characteristics of ladybugs?
Characteristics Ladybugs can vary in color from solid black with 2 red spots to solid orange or red, or they can have variable black spot patterns, sometimes with yellow or red spots. The two main body types are oval and round (hemispherical). Ladybugs can retract their head into their body like a turtle. The antennae of ladybugs are attached below the front part of the eyes. Ladybugs won't fly if the temperature is below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. If you squeeze a ladybug it will bite you, but the bite won't hurt. Ladybugs make a chemical that smells and tastes bad so that birds and other predators won't eat them. The spots on a ladybug will fade as the ladybug gets older

Yes! Ladyugs eat the insects that feed on the plants.. the feeding puts the poison in the insects then into the ladybugs as they feed. much like the fact that you dont want to poison mice when you have cats or dogs around. as the animal picking up a mouse dead from the poison can in turn be poisoned.

Do carpenter ants shed?
Yes, I don't know if they set swelling on the bite or not because when one bit me, I didn't let it bite for too long to find out. When they bite, it feels like they're sucking on your finger, it doesn't hurt either. Just don't mess with them too much because they might start to bite you harder and release something into your body.
