St Johns county, FL many Ladybird Beetle Larva - Harmonia axyrid
Hello, just wanted to say that in my backyard which is on a lake I’m finding many of these Ladybird Beetle Larva - Harmonia axyridis. Wondering if this bug has any side affects or is poisonous? It went to scratch my leg and realized it was stuck to my calf and after removing it, it showed that it was sucking my blood as my calf was bleeding.

Our understanding is that
forked spines means Harmonia axyridis

Also, pattern on back is distinctive.

Unfortunately causing heavy competition
for our native lady beetles. Will we ever learn from our mistakes?
