LeadFarmer4Life Even a credible source! If you've ever watched any of my videos, you know I'm asthmatic, so Thank You!!!

It's interesting that the problem seems to lie solely with the invasive species, too...

+trollforge Interesting, they were sold to me as "ladybugs." Looking at pictures now I don't see much of a way to tell by looking... OK It says "An Asian Lady Beetle has two large oval white markings. Besides the oval white spots on the Asian Lady Beetle´s pronotum, there´s usually a white area in the middle, giving the black area of the pronotum the appearance of an `M." These ones I had do not have the "M" so maybe they are not Asian Ladybeetles, but I can't really tell. The seller I bought from is "ibuytex2" on eBay. I will be getting some more this year from "Highsierraladybugs" on eBay, they claim to be selling the real thing, specifically mentioning that some other seller have the Asian ones.

JaycubL our native Seven-spotted coccinellids are red or orange with three spots on each side and one in the middle; they have a black head with white patches on each side. The Japanese, Asian, or Harlequin ladybug I am referring to is Harmonia axyridis (the harlequin ladybird) is an example of how an animal might be partly welcome and partly harmful. It was introduced into North America from Asia in 1916 to control aphids, but is now the most common species, outcompeting many of the native species. it is called Harlequin because it has many colour variations and spot patterns...

trollforge Thank you I will make sure to only get North American native ones now! I hadn't know there was an issue.

JaycubL I don't get how people are still allowed to sell an invasive species... It should be illegal! Not blaming you, you purchased in good faith, but still...
