I read an interesting article several years ago about ladybug hunters in
the Rockies. Apparently, ladybugs hibernate by the millions in forests in
the Rockies (sorry, don't remember more specifically than that - I think it
was around the bases of large trees). Those bags of ladybugs for sale at
the garden stores to combat your aphids "organically" come from these
hibernating masses. People earn extra $$ by finding them and bagging them
up.

Yvonne, maybe you should check with a local garden supply store and see if
they're interested. Feel like bagging bugs?
