Okay, now I'm confused. Lady bug = Stink bug? This is what I've always known to be a lady bug, and what I have 50 to 100 of in stock and ready to ship at all times: This is what I've always known to be a stink bug, and flush these guys down the loo the moment I see one: .
These are asian beetles...different than a ladybug. Less spots is a way to tell the difference. This is just about always what people are finding in their houses and calling ladybugs.
Asian Lady Beetles ... just makes me think SpeedyE or Bandon C. will be making an appearance in this thread soon.... .
Bottom pic is a stinkbug. I get them every winter. I just pick them up with my hand and take them outside. No biggie.
Cool - I've gotten so used to people bitching about the beetles I default to thinking of them - and I've heard people bitching about how they stick too although I've never had enough to notice it. No real stink bugs in the house here luckily.
