Well, because we’ll be closed from June 29th to July 3rd (from the the 27th to the 5th actually) and it means that some orders will be delayed. And since ladybugs (Hippodamia convergens) are the easiest critters for us to deal with in terms of fast order fulfillment due to being drop-shipped, we can respond quickly upon our return and make sure everyone gets what they need without too much of a delay. We don’t want to encourage you to purchase a bug we might not be able to ship for two weeks. For more about our scheduled one-week closure, please stay tuned. The official announcement will appear here in five days (the 26th).
This sale is effective until the ordering deadline on July 3rd, 2009, and will apply to orders placed by phone (until closure), by fax at 603.942.8932 anytime, or made online. Please note, though, that the special pricing is good only for orders shipped no later than July 8th, 2009 (unless there is a delay on our end). To order this item online, here’s the entry for H. convergens in our shop.

Apparently, perhaps because of the rain and cool weather in many areas, aphids have persisted and the timing of our ladybug sale couldn’t be better. We’re happy to help!
