tylikImagine, if you will, a tupperware container, with a perforated top, filled with damp woodchips and 1500 ladybugs.
Imagine an apartment, with a lot of plants and an aphid problem.
Imagine trying to open the aforementioned tupperware container and allow only a few ladybugs to escape. And then laugh hysterically at my folly.
(In fact, I think I wanted to release only 50 or so, and I probably let out two to three times that many. But still, all things considering, only a few. They are demonstrably good ladybugs, and are chomping away at the aphids with great enthusiasm.)
