  11. I have been lumbered with the task of establishing a culture of
  12. the two-spotted ladybird (Adalia bipuctata).  It is a predatory
  13. ladybird that feeds mainly on aphids.
  14.  
  15. My brief is to establish a breeding colony of at least 400
  16. adults.

  18. Any advice, criticism, warnings gratefully received, especially
  19. any information on artificial diets.
