Yes the Harlequin Ladybird is the new invader. It originates from Asia and differing reports show it came here via mainland Europe or North America. It is believed that some were originally transported along with plants and have bred at an alarming rate. They eat far more aphids than the native smaller ladybirds. If food is scarce, they will then eat the native ladybirds.
