In Quebec, there are more than 90 different species of ladybugs: the ocellated ladybug, the seven-point ladybug, the smudged ladybug, etc., and the Asian ladybug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the name suggests, the Asian ladybug<\/strong> comes from Asia. It has been introduced to North America to rid us of the aphids and other insect<\/a> pests it feeds on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Asian ladybug is not really harmful to us: it does not transmit any disease, it does not sting, it does not eat our woods, it does not devour our plants. However, its presence in large numbers in our homes can be disturbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Asian ladybug is considered an invasive species in Europe. Very resistant to cold, little or not pre-dated or parasitized for the moment, adapted to many environments (grasses, deciduous or resinous trees …), it has acclimatized well and multiplies very quickly. Worse, it competes with native ladybug species and even feeds on their larvae. The Asian ladybug is very voracious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does the Asian ladybug look like? What is its life cycle? How can we prevent it from invading us in large numbers? How do I get rid of it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description of the Asian ladybug<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Still known as “The Beast for Goodness,”<\/a> the Asian ladybug is an insect of the order of beetles and the family of co-beetles.<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is between 6 and 10 mm in size. It has elytra that<\/strong> cover a pair of membrane wings. Its color? Yellow to red through all shades of orange, the distinct characteristic of the Asian ladybug being to have two white “M”-shaped spots behind its head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’s got a rounded back. His body is covered with about twenty small slices of black dots. They whiten as the ladybug ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The larva’s body is adorned with thorns and tubers. It measures from 1.9 to 2, 1 mm. At maturity, it will reach a size of 7.5 to 10.7 mm. It has 5 abdominal segments on which there are two parallel orange dorsal stripes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reproduction and life cycle of the Asian ladybug<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The life cycle of this charming insect consists of four steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egg laying<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After mating, the female Asian ladybug lays about 100 eggs near a colony of aphids. She puts them on leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eggs laid are pale yellow and oval at the start; and they are 1.2 millimetres long. Eventually, they turn dark yellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hatching of eggs and its transformation into larvae<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eggs hatch 72 to 96 hours after laying. Thus, the larvae appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transformation of larvae into nymphs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The larva changes three times in 15 days. When it matures, it positions the tip of its abdomen under a leaf and undergoes a transformation into a nymph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transformation of nymphs into adults<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A week later, the nymph becomes an adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There may be three generations of Asian ladybugs per month in a year. The development time of the insect depends on the quality and quantity of food it has at its disposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
