The Buckeye Lady Beetle Blitz is an outreach program started by our lab to conduct an annual census of lady beetles across Ohio. In recent decades many species of native lady beetles have declined in the U.S. and one hypothesis to explain this is the
introduction of exotic lady beetles. Exotic lady beetles may cause a decline in natives by eating their eggs and larvae or
out competing them for food resources. For more

Go, Sarah, cool logo...Mary, do you have any t-shirts printed up with this logo? I'd love to buy one!
