What Are Native Ladybugs? Hippodamia convergens, the convergent lady beetle, is a native North American beneficial insect and a generalist predator of soft-bodied garden pests. GardeningZone's pre-fed ladybugs are suited for gardens, greenhouses, grow rooms, patios, rooftop gardens, and interiorscapes. Predatory at both larval and adult stages, larvae can consume 30-50 aphids per day, while adults may consume up to 5,000 aphids over a lifetime.
