Thanks=2C Nancy. The dots on the thorax were much smaller but I'm certain i=
t's the same. Also it's unlikely any other ladybug species could be so plen=
tiful as this introduced species. I had hoped someone could tell me if any =
other ladybug has no spots!

There are many scholarly works online which mostly discuss the detrimental =
effects of this & two other introduced species. I believe David McCorquodal=
e prepared a simplified work on identifying all of the NS species but I see=
m to have misplaced the link.
