It's begining to look A LOT like production! Pictured here is our lab supervisor, Justine, making the first round of picks for the season! These twigs are named "picks" because we hand pick them from our food storage for our breeding jars; they consist of our best food so our female lady beetles can produce a high quantity of eggs. #production #ladybeetle #hwa #supervisor #twigs #picks #breedingseason #hemlocks #foodstorage #females #eggs

Yesterday we were busy getting the hot room ready for the start up of production! Our hot room is the optimal breeding environment for our St. beetles. Temperatures range from 75-79 degrees Fahrenheit with an average of 45-55% humidity. #climatecontrolled #optimalenvironment... #stbeetles #sasajiscymnustsugae #hwa #temperature #humidity #hot #productionseason #beginning See more

It's that time of year again. As temperatures drop, HWA is becoming more visible due to their white cotton-like appearance. Start observing your hemlocks NOW to monitor you HWA population! #hemlock #HWA #sasajiscymnustsugae #fightnaturewithnature #environment #nonnativeinsects
