It's great to distinguish these beetles. It is interesting to note that
the Asian beetle; the latest little pest in our houses, is the result of
an agricultural biocontrol agent gone wrong. Now it's chosen to live
with us. I am fairly unappreciative of it.
I wonder, however, since it preys on aphids and scale, whether it might
go after beech scale, performing some redeeming activity other than
climbing on my windows and walls. Our beech trees need all the help
they can get, now that they also have to deal with beech leaf-mining
weevil. Keep an eye out for browning beech leaves, starting from the
leaf tips, this spring, a sign of its arrival.

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p> There seems to be some confusion here. Lady Bug is
a common name for beetles of the family Coccinellidae.
They often spend winters in attics, under shingles, in
sheds, and in natural cavities; shelter. They will
manage fine now if you have a compost pile, woody
debris etc in which they can shelter.</p>
