You're welcome Faredin. The list of invasives seems to be growing everyday :-(

Thanks for the link Daniele, will read it for sure. At college I studied invasive species and how to manage them but I guess I don't know all the species :). Recently I spotted a Siberian chipmunk in Denmark which has not been reported, http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/35947010

Oh had no idea they are such monsters but I have seen them only ones. Here I see the 7 spotted ladybugs everywhere. So maybe it hasn't taken over Denmark, yet :).

Yes, no wonder, we have them all here ;-)..., now serious... This one is a real and in the meanwhile a global pest. It takes about 270 times the amount of lice than our European and native ladybird, with the result, that food competition is completely out of balance.

I am from Asia, but never seen this one.
