Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Lady bugs inside
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.
