    Did you cool them before you released them? Lowering their body temperature helps keep them arou d and on your plants to take the little fuckers out.

        Unfortunate. Seems like you got a rowdy bunch lol. If I recall right when I unleashed them on an aphid infestation I had them in there for like 2-3 hours. Idk I’d that would make a difference or not. A lot of them did peace out pretty soon after I let them loose, but a handful stayed around for a few days.

        You’ve got to do it at the right time of day too, can’t remember when the wrong time is but if you release them then they all just fly away immediately!
