Meet Susie and Rob, the local ladybug whisperers. For over 25 years, we have sustainably harvested native convergent ladybugs straight from the rugged North State ridges to defend your garden naturally.
We do not farm insects in artificial mass labs. Our convergent ladybugs are wild-collected along mountain streams where they gather naturally. This preserves their raw predatory drive against devastating agricultural invaders.
Every hand-packed cluster we provide supports local eco-systems, offering backyard gardeners a safe alternative to synthetic chemical sprays.
Susie Bewley and Rob Hunt navigate the steep backcountry terrain of Shasta County, sourcing pure biological defense mechanics straight from nature's wintering grounds.
Our Story
Perfectly portioned dormant beneficial insect counts ideal for rose beds, backyard vegetable plots, and residential landscaping grids.
Inquire PacketsBulk-packed crate distribution pathways explicitly structured for local independent hardware centers and commercial nursery operations across the West Coast.
Wholesale AccessHand-sorted regional California wildflower seed assortments engineered to plant biological pollen sanctuaries alongside predatory insect installations.
Read Her StoryKeep your hand-packed container chilled inside a standard refrigerator. This preserves their natural fat reserves until deployment.
Always release after sunset. Ladybugs navigate via celestial light; daytime release triggers immediate dispersal flights away from fields.
Mist your garden leaves heavily before opening the package. Mountain-collected beetles require immediate hydration to crawl effectively.
Gently introduce the colony at the absolute base of pest-heavy branches. They will naturally climb upward to feed on aphids and mites.
Our beautiful granddaughter, Feyla Rose, and her mother, Alaina, were tragically taken from us in the devastating Zogg Fire. Feyla was a joyful, brilliant soul who possessed a rare, pure connection to nature—she loved exploring the woods and dreamed of dedicating her life to animals as a veterinarian.
To keep her absolute love for nature blooming across our communities, we have founded the Feyla Rose Wildflower Seed Initiative. Every single bulk nursery order and retail packet shipped from our Ono harvesting center includes a complimentary pouch of native California wildflower seeds.
By planting these seeds alongside our biological beneficial insects, you aren't just protecting your crops—you are helping us build a wild network of living bird, bee, and pollinator sanctuaries in her name.
