Reply to Mrs Bemmy Why kill them? If there are aphids enough for a harlequin colony on your beans, why not just let the ladybirds eat them?

Other than humans, do harlequin ladybirds have any predators? I just found some larvae on my runner beans. I killed what I could find.

I have found a couple of harlequin ladybirds sitting comfortably on the window ledge at my boyfriend's house. However, I cannot bring myself to hurt the little creatures because they are so cute.

I had a swarm of these ladybirds hit my house yesterday. Luckily the windows were all closed as we had just got back from being away and they didn't get inside. They were over both back and front windows. It did give me the chance to look at them closely and identify them for what they were - definitely harlequins. I enjoy seeing ladybirds in the garden, but that is where I want them to stay.

I live in Crosby, Liverpool. Today we were overrun with Harlequin Ladybirds. Is this a good sign or not ?
