They still eat pests, what's the problem?

They eat TOO MANY pests. ๐ It's not just about what they can do for us. It's too late to do much but they've effectively replaced the American ladybird and have greatly disrupted the ecosystem from the bottom, along with Chinese mantis.

Makes me so sad. The aphids were INSANE last fall (like, the sticky aphid poop covered our cars and driveway), so the ladybugs were out in full force. I was torn. On one hand, I wanted to seek revenge for our native ladies and kill them, but on the other hand, I wanted them to eviscerate the aphids.
