Fungal diseases, parasitic mites and humansare the predators of the Harlequin ladybug [Harmonia axyridis]. This particular ladybug also is called the Asian or Japanese lady beetle. But its manners are far from ladylike. It's an aggressive pest of its ladybug colleagues and of grapes. Unfortunately, many predators are stopped by the Harlequin ladybug's colors. Orange and red tend to warn potential predators away from foul smelling and tasting food sources.
