Lady Bug Feast for Laurence Fishburne

Hello everyone,

It looks like ladybug season and our fish, Laurence, goes crazy for live bait. We've fed him ants before and the little guy gets ecstatic. Can he eat a ladybug? They're pretty big and I don't want Laurence to feel discouraged if he can't eat it. What do you think?

I believe the recommendation is to avoid feeding anything live you catch outside to your fish. You just can't be sure they don't have parasites or carrying some sort of pesticide. However, pet stores routinely carry pinhead crickets and those should be small enough for Laurence to eat.
