Harlequin larvae...Help!

[crystalpalace]

Hi,

I've discovered a huge amount of Harlequin ladybird larvae in my garden.
The larvae is everywhere...is it good or bad? They get into the house and all over my plants- im not sure what to do, any advice would be much appreciated, thankyou.

Bad for native species of ladybird (and some other insects) they are good for your plants as they eat aphids. This species is spreading rapidly and its not unusual to find large numbers like this. When adults in winter when they start to hibernate they are likely to be found in your house. What sort of advice are you wanting?
