    It’s a bad idea to release insects from unknown origin even if it’s a species that’s native. They can have significant genetic differences to the local populations to cause all sorts of problems.

    Try attracting them instead by having flower meadows, etc.

      asian lady beetle is pratically invasive. native parasitoids are probably better at controlling aphids.
