If you’re from Central Texas, you may know what we’re talking about. As many ladybugs will have us think they’re cute and innocent, the Asian lady beetle is anything but. You can tell by the name that it is a non-native species to invade the area, but what makes it scarier is that over time, they’ve adapted to look very similar to the regular harmless lady bugs we all think of!

For starters, Asian lady beetles will bite humans in an attempt to feed on them.
They’re known to at least take a nibble on whatever they land on, whether it’s your end table or you!

During the winter months, you should be especially wary about these infestations. These Asian beetles like escape the cold and nestle into your cozy home, especially indoors where the sun shines!

As with all bugs, the most common reaction to seeing one would be to crush it, but you should definitely take a moment to reconsider. Crushing them will release a noxious odor and can leave yellow stains, wherever they happened to be squished!
