Well, it's worse. Britain's latest invasive species, the harlequin ladybird, is thought likely to harm at least 1,000 types of insects and other organisms as it rapidly spreads across the country. Although it arrived in Britain only in September 2004, in Essex, it has reached Durham in...
The Harlequin ladybird is native to Asia but was first spotted in the UK in 2004. Experts say its an invasive species which often swarms around Halloween.
The aim of the present study is to fill this gap by testing differences in cannibalism among various native, invasive and biocontrol populations of the harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1773) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). Native to Asia, H. axyridis was introduced to North America and ...
Data on the expansion of the range of an invasive beetle species, harlequin ladybird (Harmonia axyridis Pall.), in Armenia are presented. The species was first recorded in 2016 in the extreme northwest of Armenia; however, in 2018, the species was found in several localities of Central ...
The ladybird Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) is considered one of the most serious invasive species around the globe. It has spread all over North America and Western Europe, while data from southeastern Europe, especially in the Mediterranean region, are scarce. In this study we present the first ...
