Is the Asian Ladybug the same thing as the Asian Lady Beetle?

As far as we can tell yes. It seems that from time to time we have people calling us asking about ladybugs, Asian Beetles, Asian Ladybugs, Asian ladybeetles, orange beetles, spotted beetles and just plain old ladybeetles. In all these cases they're complaining about a pungent smelling, round little orange beetle which is invading their home. They all say this offensive beetle is active all winter but particularly active in the spring and fall. Once inside, they tend to accumulate close to lights and windows when active. We even get reports these beetles bite!
