"I’ve seen orange-brown bugs that look like ladybugs without spots. Is it still a ladybug or some other insect?"
If you’ve noticed an orange-brown ladybug in the house, it’s likely an Asian lady beetle. These beetles come in many colors, including red, orange, and brown. Some have spots, while others do not. While they resemble the familiar red-and-black ladybug, Asian lady beetles behave differently, commonly aggregating in larger numbers and overwintering indoors.
While they aren’t harmful to people, Asian lady beetles can be a nuisance in large numbers, and they may leave behind stains or odors when crushed.
If you’re dealing with repeated sightings of brown ladybugs indoors, sealing entry points and managing conditions around your home can help reduce activity.
