I might get the eggs for a higher chance of them sticking around for long term pest control and maybe start planting the flower seeds I have in recycled containers to try and attract/keep the insects around.

Youâre doing awesomely. Please donât beat yourself up. Just think how many people you know that havenât even got close to what youâve already achieved? I get that itâs frustrating, heartbreaking even, but youâre learning so see it that way?
Circumstances can seriously impact you and thatâs ok. I left my beloved bonchi (Bonzi Chilli) die because of real life circumstances for example. It happens, but then thereâs next season!
No matter which you pick they probably wonât stick around, but they are truly machines that demolish aphids. Once their food is gone they will leave regardless unless you establish that full ecosystem which is hard. Iâve just had some of these move in on their own, have a few indoors too!
Just be warned that it means youâll get more birds and spiders and then youâll need to buy a lion to deal with those (obviously joking on the lion but it does escalate, beautifully, and youâre making a positive change to our shared environment).
You can also buy permanent insect homes for things to just move in one their own :)

Thanks, I guess I just have to keep trying.
The insect homes are a good idea.
