Ladybirds of Southampton and the surrounding areas

Harlequin Ladybird

This is the recent import from the Continent about which there is such concern. It remains to be seen just how much this insect will affect the rest of the ladybird population, but one thing is sure, it is in this country to stay. Phil Budd found this specimen in Locks Heath on 2 November 2005!!
