just kidding...

Darn government done it again. I got huge surplus of these and I can't give even them away except for hiding them in the equipment. They strain clothes, bite, and stink. Can't even work in the afternoons without them crawling into my clothes and biting me.

Nothing seems to eat these pests.

What are the physical differences between the Asian and North America ladybug?

[Luffydog]

Don't know really other than the colors. Orange and red and both pest and like to take over your house and everything else.

What are the physical differences between the Asian and North America ladybug?

For us in the South US the following is our native, peaceful, nondestructive ladybug. Usually red in color.


And this is the invasive, stinking, staining, aggressive biting Asian Ladybug (beetle). Usually orange in color but can vary. May or may not have spots, but if they do they have more than the ladybug. Has an M or W-shaped mark. Due their numbers can be pest as they like crawl in our homes and any where else for warmth during the winter. Also being omnivores do a lot plant damage when run out of insects to eat due their shear numbers


All I know they just another government introduction like the Japanese beetle that was to control the Holy thistles but eat most of shrubs and fruit trees leaves to stems. But with these our native birds have learn they are edible. These beetles still destroy our plants but as bad. I learned how to make a self emptying beetle traps for the Japanese beetle with an automatic disposal by my chickens.

Thanks for the reply.
Based on the pictures, we have the Asian beetle.
