Where do I get ladybugs from? I need predators and spiders would be nice too. Nowhere to gather them tho. Last nice insect I found in my area was a fucked up beetle
Must be a location thing. All the garden places around here (Seattle) have them most of the time, and my local hardware store has them a lot of the time.
Molbak’s (RIP) had them, McLendon hardware has them, Swanson’s has them. I mean garden shops (and probably nurseries now that I think about it), not usually indoor plant shops.
Lowe’s sells them, but only at an appropriate time of year, which this is not. You can also get them on Amazon and from a few smaller company websites.

You can get ladybugs from most garden or even some hardware stores. If all else fails, https://www.naturesgoodguys.com/ is a great option
My experience is that most garden centers do not sell these, but occasionally they do. More reliable to find online.

I also live in Seattle. We must frequent different shops.

I believe you that Swanson’s has them because they’re huge, but I go there pretty often and have never actually seen them.
They were up by the registers last time I was there.
Guess my timing is off.
