these ones arn't native ro my area but they're not invasive. i've released them the past three years and they're chill. you can end up with a bag of the orangish fake ladybug if you go for the cheapest option on amazon though.

I dont remember what they looked like, but having been covered in thousands of lady bugs underneath a house to eventually find out they bite, oh do they bite, i never saw them the same again. Did it hurt? Not really but i had on a tie back suit. Without i would think it wouldnt feel so great getting bitten repeatedly.

I ended up soaking them down with commercial grade peroxide to get them off me.
