I like lady birds, but i like BRITISH LADYBIRDS and it is my duty to help protect every bit of britain that is left. |

Mmmmmmmmmm, who are we to judge about tomorrow connerlake, If you leave things be, then one cannot be judged as interfering.
If you don't know enough, then leave well alone, that's all I'm trying to say.  |

I think we should welcome our new neighbours with open arms. They clearly prosper through hard work and lower standard of living and therefore compete with our natives. Fair game and that is nature for you  |

If they are Harlequins they are so well established it would be futile really to kill them as it'll have no real impact. |

There are other black ladybirds with red spots, take a pic and have it identified but leave well alone. Harlequins certainly haven't made any of the native species scarce here, in fact they are doing very well. |
