Finally! They're here!
I put my aphid-affected radishes in prominent flight paths. Send your ladybug this way.

(p.s. this lady bug seems to like my sheets! I'm not sure how good she will be but I was so happy to see her too!)

Awww! Thanks. :) :)

I guess the ladybugs that hatch first aren't the brightest sparks. They'll learn how tasty aphids are soon enough. Juicy juicy.

I didn't know that ladybugs ate aphids!

They do! They're a primary predator. In fact, aphids were so bad last year that I was thinking perhaps I should find someone to sell me a box of 200 bugs or something ;) God bless the internet!
