Harmonia antipodum

Harmonia antipodum, known as the antipodean ladybird, is a species of ladybird beetle indigenous to New Zealand, though sometimes mistaken for a related non-native species, Harmonia conformis.

Description

They are a brown colour, and about 3 mm long, while H. conformis is much larger and more conspicuously coloured.

H. antipodum individuals have been observed eating other native and introduced insects, including Coccidae and psyllids.
