This beetle is a beneficial inhabitant of the landscape but can also humanfleas be a serious household pest in those areas where it has become well established and abundant. The Asian ladybug is approximately 1/3 inch in length and semi-spherical or dome-shaped. Their colorations can vary from yellowish-orange to red; deep orange is the most common color. There are 19 black spots on the back that vary in darkness among individual beetles and the spots may be faint or missing on some beetles. There is a black "W" shaped mark on the thorax of this ladybug.

A ant colony is usually formed by a queen who begins a nest in a piece of old buried wood or in a partially decayed tree or stump. In mature infestations, there may be as many as ten satellite colonies linked to the parent colony by trails. There is a frequent exchange of workers between these satellite colonies and the main nest. Colonies normally do not produce winged reproductive forms until they are at least three to six years old with emergence of swarmers typically occurring from May through July. The most common way in which homes become infested is through emigration of an existing colony. Houses located near wooded areas or brush covered vacant lots are good candidates for infestation. ant colonies are inclined to move if they are disturbed, as often happens during construction. Thus, new homes or those surrounding a new building lot present likely locations for attack.
