Well, look what the wind blew in!
The discovery of a foreign ladybird thought to have been carried into the country on a cyclone may be the key to controlling a pest wreaking havoc on the farming community.
Psyllids are little bugs that cause millions of dollars of damage every year to tomato and potato crops.
They are also found to be one of the foreign grey ladybird or Olla v-nigrum’s favourite snacks.
Predatory spotted ladybirds have been used for many years as an effective aphid control, but this new speciman is thought to be the most effective natural defense against this particular threat to Aussie crops.
