Notes

Harlequin beetle spotted on the same tree as a number of other ladybird species.
The Harlequin ladybird originates from Asia and has spread rapidly across the country. It can easily be identified by an “M” or “W” on their heads.
These predatory ladybirds out-compete our native species and in some cases feast on both indigenous ladybirds and their larvae.
