Somehow I doubt the claim that you can get 100 million ladybugs for $75 as the (edit) original post mentioned in the knowyourmeme post claims: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/ladybug-raid

A gallon seems to be commonly listed as 72k-74k insects and seems to typically cost well above $100.

I don't think someone released 5 cubic meters of ladybugs for tiktok. And I'm disappointed that journalists from allegedly reputable media simply parrot such claims as "unverified" without pointing out the implausibility.
