The beetle #Harmonia #axyridis from East Asia was distributed worldwide for biological #pestcontrol, and is established in Europe since 2001. The #photos show a specimen in #Berlin. I. A. Minnaar et al. (2022) demonstrate in South Africa, in a comparison with #Cheilomenes #lunata, that the #invasive A. axyridis survived better in simulated environments, despite divergent #traitplasticity.
