Ladybug = Lady Beetle = Ladybird Beetle.
Do not release the Asian Beetle (a type of Ladybird). Kill them.
The second biggest cause of decline in native species after habitat loss is
introduced species.
If you want, save all the Asian Beetles in a jar in the freezer. I can use
them for teaching my entomology lab here at StFX. Contact me at
rlauff@stfx.ca if you're interested.

Lady Bug is
