The Asian Ladybug larvae will eat 1200 or more aphids before becoming an adult. That is a good reason to
recognize this beneficial insect, particularly when it is the larval stage. It takes a larvae two to three weeks
to reach the adult instar stage. The Asian Ladybug was released in found living US in 1980 and has slowly spread
from coast to coast. Adult Asian Ladybugs can live as long as 2-3 years in ideal conditions. Adults will eat up to
250 aphids per day. These ladybugs will swarm and can be a nuisance at times but perform such a necessary task that
they should not be sprayed. The Asian Ladybug will hibernate for the winter.
