Lady beetles, or ladybugs, have long been recognized as one of the best biological controls for many insect pests in both home gardens and agri-business. The diversity in this family of insects has been well-characterized yet they have largely been represented by only a few select species which have been introduced in the U.S. via different methods. So, who are our native lady beetles? What are their dietary preferences and habitat needs? This presentation is an introduction to some of the native lady beetles in the greater Houston area and an overview of their biology and habitat needs.

At least 78 migrants detained at the Core Civic/ICE facility in north Houston have tested positive for COVID-19. Medical care for them and testing for other detainees is limited. As the number of new cases increases in Texas, the virus could become a death sentence for many people held here and in other detention centers. ICE needs to be shut down! All the camps need to be closed! All the migrants should be freed!
