Harleqin Ladybird.
The Harlequin Ladybird is no ordinary ladybird. It is the most
invasive on earth and it is a "killer" It eats aphids but it also eats our native ladybirds,butterfly eggs,lacewing larva etc. It arrived in the UK in 2004 from the USA where it has decimated some native populations of Ladybird. A survey has been launched to monitor the spread of the Harlequin.For details go to:- http://www.harlequin-survey.org To help promote the survey I have entered a promise on Pledgebank that I will do the survey if ten other people will pledge to do so as well.I need some people to help get the thing running.Its easy and quick to do.Have a look,go to:- www.pledgebank.com/killerladybird REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR NATIVE RED SQUIRREL WHEN THE GREY SQUIRREL WAS INTRODUCED. PLEASE DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO OUR LADYBIRDS |

Harleqin Ladybird.
This is absolutely fascinating - I don't think I'd ever looked at ladybirds
that much until now...I know I have some of the common-or-garden British ones in my garden now, which I always carefully put onto my roses in the hope that they'll get fat and randy and have lots of babies..... However, assuming we find them, how do we deal with them? Presumably anything that kills harlequins kills our native ones too? And stamping on and/or swatting the odd harlequin isn't going to do much good... Good luck! Barb "Brin" wrote in message ups.com... The Harlequin Ladybird is no ordinary ladybird.

PLEASE DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO OUR LADYBIRDS If you had voted for the certain political party this would no longer be a problem. From the manifesto Half the grey squirrel population will be painted red in order to increase the red squirrel population. http://www.omrlp.com/?page_id=64 -- Alan news2006 {at} amac {dot} f2s {dot} com |
