Hi...I've been overwintering ladybugs for 4 years now and this is the best way I've found to keep them happy and healthy until you release them in spring. I know some say to keep them in the refrigerator, but I have never been able to bring myself to do that! I had my hubby build me a "cage" from just a wooden frame wrapped in screen mesh with a door, but I started out with a large box. I used one of those boxes that paper reams come in and I cut a large window on each side, and a large panel in the top. Screen mesh was glued to keep the ladybugs in and to provide air and light. I put it some leaves and grass clippings, and some sticks for them to crawl around on. I also took a few small bathroom paper cups and cut a little door on the bottom and turned them upside down. They love to hide and you would be surprised how many can fit in a 3 oz. cup! You must provide them with fresh water and food, even if you think they are hibernating. Do not give them distilled water! Use Spring water, if possible, or use water that has been boiled and sat for 24 hours. For their food, I took a small Styrofoam tray to put the food on so I could keep the area clean. I also noticed that they like to hide under the edges when you put it in a corner.) Use 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 their regular drinking water full. I 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. If you want to give them a little variety to eat, give them a few pieces of fruit every once in awhile, but be sure you DO NOT give them anything acidic. The safest fruits are strawberries, apricots and raisins. Soak a raisin in water for a few hours to rehydrate it before you give it to them. Do all of that and you will have a bunch of little friends to add to your garden next season! Don't be alarmed if you find a number of dead ladybugs during the winter months. Some just won't make it. I usually caught around 100 and ended up with about 80%. Now that I have my ladybug "hotel", I catch about 300! Good luck and enjoy the little creatures!

It is through accidental introduction that the Japanese beetle is here in the United States of America.

The first recorded instance of the exotic pest's presence on American soil dates to 1916 at a New Jersey nursery near Riverton and to 1939 in a sight-seer's car arriving by ferry from Maine to Nova Scotia, Canada.
What kind of brown color insect has lots of longer brown legs with two antennas on both ends?
Maybe a centipede like Scutigera, but it is not an insect and have only legs at the posterior end.
Well, you are right there. It is a house centipede. It kinda looks like a long spider. A brownish color. You have a house centipede. This is not a bad thing. It normally prays on other insects such as roaches. They are very fast creatures. I recomend that you scoop it up and take it outside, but it will not hurt you if you leave it be. It is poisonis but it can not kill you. Just relax and ignore it.

you can call it whatever it's mostly named ladybird but now people call it ladybug because it is a bug and also ladybird because it can fly and has wings so people have different meanings and names for it so really just call it what makes you like it, it is also known as a lady beetle.
It depends where you're from. In general, Americans refer to it as "ladybug" and British as "ladybird." I personally prefer ladybug. Maybe it's because I'm American, but I generally call bugs bugs and birds birds.
