When I was a kid, my dad had a garden going, and we would go to the local nursery or hardware store, and they would always sell lady bugs in a little mesh box. He always bought them saying that they would eat all the pests. I never seem to see this anymore, and am not sure if this actually works. If it does, does anyone know where to find them now?

YUP! I grew up calling them lady birds and with the exact same little nursery rhyme except we used to say "your house is on fire, your children will burn" Gruesome now that I look at it, but a lot of children's culture is.
I grew up in California... interesting how the children's culture is so much the same when the grown up culture is very different.
