Ladybugs - How long before they lay eggs?

[Spitz]

The beer fridge sounds great amigo. How long can you keep them in the fridge, would they just hibernate like in winter?

I'll pull some out tonight and see if they start moving. They've been in there for just under a year. The ones I pulled out a few months ago were fine. I'll report back tonight.

lol, yea its crazy the things they are able to eat. i personally never seen one but i herd they eat every thing in sight.

Hey mc I just found out it takes months for a mantis to grow to its full size, until then they're quite small & called nymphs. I've seen the smaller one's but for some reason I assumed they were grasshoppers of some kind lol!
