Re: What's being done about asian lady bugs?

I agree it was a bad idea to bring the Asian Ladybeetles here in the first
place, but there's nothing that can be done about that now. They have no
natural predators in the US and Canada, yet. They proliferate because their
food supply is great, and they as of yet do not have an opportunistic predator.
If they become a recognized food source for something, their numbers will be
reduced. I wonder if they're good with rice...

The real problem might be their presence, but if they are ultimately destroyed,
our new problem might be they have displaced, or driven to extinction, our
several local species of ladybugs.
