Good plan, Jostein!

I did release a couple of hundred ladybugs in my yard in the spring, but I
have not seen any eating the aphids.  :(

Good documentation!
There should be a fair number of lacewing larvae around at this time of
year. Maybe you could collect some and introduce them to the aphids. :-)

AAAAARG!

One of my best tropical milkweed plants has been infested with Oleander
Aphids.  They love, and while they do not kill Monarch caterpillars, they
suck the nutritious juices from the plant.
