What do you need to set a habitat for a ladybug?

Answer 1

Supplies:

• 1 x 6 inch board
• Nails
• Washers
• Paint
• Saw

1. Step 1

   Cut three pieces of wood the same size and sand the edges. These will be the back and sides of the ladybug house. Nail them together.

2. Step 2

   Cut a piece to fit the bottom of the house and sand edges. Attach this to the box with nails. Now is the time to cut a top for the ladybug house. Sand and nail the top to the box.

3. Step 3

   Measure the piece for the front of the ladybug house. It should be slightly smaller than the sides and back to give the ladybugs room to enter and exit as they please. About an inch or so will do. After sanding, attach the front piece to the box with washers to allow access for adding food, water and for cleaning the house.

4. Step 4

   Paint the ladybug house or use a sealant so it will last through weather longer. Decorate the outside of the house if desired.

5. Step 5

   Affix the ladybug house to a short pole in the garden, preferably about a foot or two off the ground.

6. Step 6

   Nectar attracts ladybugs, so placing a small piece of sponge that has been soaked in sugar water inside the ladybug house. A water source and a little food, either some aphids or sweet alyssum, will help keep the ladybugs comfortable.

Answer 2

the best place is to make the habitat in a shoe box or a 2 liter bottle remember to poke holes for the ladybug to breathe. put alot of grass, leaves, and flowers in there. Then look for gnats or aphids to put in there also. If there are none of those smaller bugs put an apple slice or a couple raisins in there because they love those too. *mist your habitat with a squirt bottle daily and change out their grass when the grass is dead* Hope that's helps :)

Answer 3

I believe that you must set little itty bitty lady bug traps. They are like miniature bear traps. This has worked for me in the past. They are especially attracted to cocaine, sprinkle a little bit near the traps and you will have ladybugs in no time.

Answer 4

Ladybugs live in and around rose bushes. They eat the aphids on them. If you want to have an habitat for a ladybugs you need to provide them with aphids and some dew drops for a water source. If you have caught a ladybug and just want to keep her she is likely not to live long. Let her go.
