Nice shot!!
They sell ladybird larvae for this purpose but I understood both the adults and the larae eat aphids. I've seen it on just one occasion (an adult ladybird chomping on an aphid!).
I've not seen too many adult ladybirds around here so far this year, and most of those I've seen are alien 'harlequin' species.
However I've got a couple of small silver birch trees in parkland near my house and they are /covered/ in ladybird larvae (no idea of the species), every other leaf I looked at had 1-3 tiny larvae on it!! I brought a few back to the garden as we've got quite a lot of aphids so far this year...
