I noticed in my house this year a little tannish lady bug, thought that was
strange that our lady bugs had changed color, I found on the WV agriculture
site that they were Asian ladybugs, that they are tannish instead of red
and that they were imported to take care of the pecan aphid, but soon
spread and are even better at eating aphids than our native ones for some
reason, problem is they swarm in houses during the winter, so this year I
am planning on putting a coffee can in the fridge and catching all of them
that invade our house this year to release them in the garden!
