Ladybugs can only eat non-acidic fruit. The safest ones are strawberries, and rehydrated apricots and raisins. The best food for them in captivity is a sugar water mixture (1 part sugar to 10 parts water) or you can use hummingbird nectar mix. The nectar mix does provide more vitamins that then sugar water, but make sure you don't mix up big batches because it only keeps for about a week. Soak a few cottonballs in the food mixture and put them in empty caps from juice jugs. Make sure you change the cottonballs once a week, and add to them in-between if necessary. And, make sure you keep regular drinking water at all times. Do not use distilled water...use Spring water, if possible, or use water that has been boiled and sat for 24 hours. Put a few small pebbles in a juice cap and keep the water level just full enough do that they can use the stones for safety. Do not just put a capful of water or it can be real easy for them to drown.
