Help for my little Pink Ladybugs!

17 years ago

These stupid asian ladybugs, or @ss bugs as we call them :) are in full "bloom" right now, and they always are as we make our yearly trek to the UP of Michigan.

I have a small colony of cutie pink ladies here, it's getting smaller every year. Does anyone know how I can HELP them get a foothold over these stupid @ss bugs?

:) Thanks!

I am not sure what "pink" ladybugs are. How do they differ?

They have a more oval body - not as round as the asian beetles. And they're pink with spots. Every year there are fewer and fewer. 13 years ago that's all I had, now I'm baragged with huge quantities of these stinking (literally) asian beetles. :( Just wish I could save my population of pinkies that are falling into extinction I'm afraid.
