Hi,willowa said:IF this has been aired before please let me know the tread.
Has anyone got any information on the ladybirds none native to the UK. That are putting our native ladytbirds in danger (If there is not enough food to go round). Have you got any photos of these to compare with our own species.
And what do we do( if anything) about them.
One of the problems is that they vary qute a lot, there are three variants here:

I was told that, provided you are certain of the identification, you should kill them. ( www.eimagesite.net has a UK Ladybird image gallery, I believe that all the images currently in it have had their identification verified )
