 Naturalization in Belgium
Invasiveness
More on invasiveness: Lives in a very wide range of habitats: farmlands, orchards, wetlands, forest margins. Seems to avoid deep forest habitats.
Distribution in Belgium
Established populations
Impacts on Species
Impacts on Ecosystems
More on impacts: H. axyridis is a strong intraguild predator and is able to displace native ladybird species. Hence, population collapse of the two-spot ladybird Adalia bipunctata is largely attributable to its rapid expansion in North America and Europe. The arlequin ladybird is also known to invade houses in winter.
