The Asian Ladybug larvae will eat 1200 or more aphids
before becoming an adult. That is a good reason to
recognize this beneficial insect. It takes a larvae two to three weeks
to reach the adult 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.
