引言彩色亚洲瓢虫于1994年初在纽约州Chemung县首次发现，是一种引进的生物防治剂，已迅速传播到整个东北部各州。它已经成为房主的主要困扰，因为它习惯在秋季（10月中旬至11月初）大量侵入房屋和建筑物，并在2月和3月温暖阳光明媚的日子再次出现。尽管它的烦恼值，H。异色瓢虫捕食许多种类的有害软体昆虫，如蚜虫、介壳虫和木虱，因此被认为对种植者和农学家有益。虽然“多色亚洲瓢虫”是美国昆虫学会正式接受的通用名称，但在文献中也发现了其他几个常见名称：万圣节瓢虫（因为它的南瓜橙子颜色和万圣节前后经常观察到的大量种群），日本瓢虫（因为日本是美国东南部释放的标本的原产国）和亚洲瓢虫。
Introduction The multicolored Asian lady beetle, first found in New York State in Chemung County in early 1994, is an introduced biological control agent that has spread rapidly throughout the northeastern states. It has become a major nuisance to homeowners because of its habit of invading houses and buildings in large numbers in the fall (mid-October to early November) and appearing again on warm, sunny days in February and March. Despite its annoyance value, H. axyridis preys upon many species of injurious soft-bodied insects such as aphids, scales, and psyllids and is thus considered beneficial to growers and agriculturalists. Although "multicolored Asian lady beetle" is the common name officially accepted by the Entomological Society of America, several other common names are also found in the literature: Halloween lady beetle (because of its pumpkin orange color and large populations often observed around Halloween), Japanese lady beetle (because Japan was the country of origin for specimens released in the southeastern United States), and Asian lady beetle.
