So much for the wisdom of using biological controls.

Invasive ladybird has biological weapon - The harlequin ladybird carries a parasite that causes it no harm but kills other native species.

It's the same bug, British name.

I noticed that the nice red ladybugs had been replaced by the nastier orange-brown ones. Now we have an answer ... but too late.

Is the harlequin the same bug that clusters in corners of rooms and bite? From what I recall, they also stink.

Wonder if there’s a Colony Collapse Syndrome connection.

I’ve never seen the harlequin ladybug, but I’ll know what to do now if I should see one.

They are disqusting lol. I found a Ladybug in my salad, not sure whether it just landed on my salad or it came in the prewash package. I tossed it out and gagged lol. Sorry no bugs in my food please.
