Harlequin Ladybird Larva

[rabbitpie]

What should I do about them? there are absolutely loads of them in my garden and I found out yesterday that they are quite nasty. Is there something I can do to get rid of them??

In what way are they nasty?

I think the only annoying thing about them might be the numbers. Worth reporting your sightings here:

Harlequin Ladybird Survey - home

Nige

By all means report them as Nige advises. They're becoming a worry because of their extremely invasive nature and they also predate our native species. They're known to take a bite at us human pests too.

Here's a link that explains why the Harlequin Ladybird is here.

I like the advice at the end, It makes a lot of sense.

Thanks so much for all of your advice. I have added my record on the Harlequin Ladybird Survey and think after reading the Telegraph report will just leave alone ( I don't think I could kill them all anyway, there is so many of them I think they would end up attacking me!!!)
