What are Asian lady beetles?
Contrary to popular belief, the Asian lady beetle is NOT a ladybug.
Asian lady beetles range in color from yellow and orange to black. Some (generally males) may not have spots while others could have up to 22 spots. Asian lady beetles have a domed-shaped appearance and a distinctive “w” marking on the base of their head.
They are commonly referred to as "Halloween beetles" for their coloring and tendency to invade homes during the month of October as they seek shelter for winter.
These beetles were originally introduced into the United States to control aphid populations.
Are Asian lady beetles dangerous?
Asian lady beetles are not considered to be dangerous, but they can be a nuisance in Nashville and Middle Tennessee. They can especially become problematic when invading homes in very large numbers. And because they feed on ripened fruit, Asian lady beetles can also be quite destructive to fruit crops.
Why do I have an Asian lady beetle problem?
Asian lady beetles are attracted to the warm sunny sides of homes and other buildings as the weather starts to cool. They may enter into your home through cracks and crevices in large numbers and hide in your attic and behind wall voids throughout the cold winter months. When the weather warms up in the spring they will become active once again and try to move back outdoors.
