Hey CHs,
The orange, not so spotty Asian ladybugs are "in da house" here in NW
Indiana USA. Along with some BOXELDER BUGs. Yecch. Mostly a nuisance.
A picture with pesticide-encouragement follows, thanks to U. of
Cal-Davis (deja vu all over again).

Asian ladybugs : http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/H/I-CO-HAXY-AD.004.html
House bug count was in the hundreds, now down to the dozens for both
bugs. But at least the little white bugs are nowhere to be seen in the
basement of overwintering. Now off to water the plants...
Hasta la lista,
Jesse G.
