IS this an imported impostor ladybird or is it OK?

hello,
i keep finding these ladybird-looking bugs in my garden: are they imported from abroad or are they ok to keep?

thanks, karaman

 

It looks like a Japanese beetle. They try very hard to get in your home to nest over the colder months.

Oops, it is not a Japanese beetle - but it is not a lady bird. I don't know the real name for it but it does try invade your home. Been there!

Edit again: Asian Lady Beetle

 

I dont care what kind they are as long as they eat Aphids.
I can remember seeing those kind when I was a kid so hardly think it can be any invader.

 

Looks like a fairly ordinary ladybird to me.

 

Unless it has white parts on the front of its face it is a native,
Tytthaspis sedcimpunctata.
