BON VOYAGE
JANE!
Farewell to our good friend Jane (left),
who has moved overseas to be with her
family. In her time here in Kaiwaka,
Jane has been involved with many
groups, including the Kaiwaka Sports
Association’s catering team, the
Kaiwaka
War
Memorial
Hall
Association’s committee, a Kaiwaka
Library volunteer, the Molesworth
Sheep Dog Trials’ crew, and here on
our own Bugle team. She has in recent
years been secretary for the hall and
Bugle. And all the while working in the
Building team at Kaipara District
Council. We will miss her, but wish her
well in her new life.
~Lindsey & Wendy
Congratulations to Jennie Reynolds,
(left), the latest recipient of a bunch of
flowers from The Flower Girl. She was
nominated by Justin, who said “Jennie
does many things in a volunteer
capacity for the Kaiwaka community
including with the local primary school
and rugby from JMB level through to
the Otamatea Hawks. I would like to
specifically nominate Jennie for the
work she has done for the Rodney
Otamatea JMB Sub Union - she has
had the official job as secretary for the
last few years but has been heavily
involved due to the absence of a
president this past season and has
ensured the sub union continues to
function. Jennie has very recently
stepped down from this role and I
would like to thank her on behalf of the
sub union for her valuable contribution
to local junior rugby.”
HAVE YOU SEEN
THE HARLEQUIN
LADYBIRD?
Harlequin
ladybirds
(Harmonia
axyridis) have been detected in
Auckland. The Ministry for Primary
Industries (MPI) and industry want to
know if it is present in other parts of
New Zealand.
Why is the Harlequin Ladybird a
threat?
The harlequin ladybird is considered an
invasive species in many countries. It
feeds on aphids, usually from willow,
oak, maple and poplar trees. This has
made it useful as a biological control of
pests in some countries. Unfortunately,

Kia Ora Kaiwaka Community,
The Kaiwaka School BOT would like to bring an
ongoing concern about the use of school grounds
to the attention of all.
We (members of the school) are pleased that the
wider community feels comfortable using our
school grounds outside of school hours for
example on weekends and when events are held
at the local sports and recreational grounds.
However there is often a large amount of rubbish
left behind - some of it dangerous to our tamariki
as was the case this month when a broken glass
alcohol bottle was found by a child in the
sandpit. This caused temporary closure of this
much loved resource and significant teacher time
to sift through the sand to eliminate any further
glass, fortunately no one was injured this time.
We would like to ask assistance of you the wider
community members in promoting correct
disposal of rubbish on our grounds – if you see
someone chucking their rubbish around our
school, please feel free to ask them to put it in
the rubbish bin!
On related topic – all school grounds (including
the hillside that slopes down towards the rugby
fields) are alcohol, drug and cigarette free so
please refrain from consuming these on school
property. We are in the process of getting signs
to promote this as an alcohol, drug and cigarette
free zone.
We look forward to community support on these
matters, any queries please feel free to contact
myself as Vice-Chairperson of the BOT or the
school directly.

SMART POWER METERS
Letters are being sent out telling people about the
installation of ‘new’, ‘advanced’ or ‘smart’ meters.
The installation of these meters is NOT compulsory.
They are different to our old analog meters and come
with different ‘side effects’. It is easier to prevent
these meters being installed, but once installed it is
currently still possible to have them removed.
There are companies who supply ‘non-smart’ meters
to their customers, like Contact Energy, and other
companies with a helpful attitude, like PowerShop
and Nova.
To inform yourself before you give your consent to
have one of these new meters on your property, look
up stopsmartmeters.org.nz/health-issues, also search
“Barrie Trower and smartmeters”.
Be safe.
Kindest regards,
Gina

We have quite a few people keeping
the Community Garden going but we
rarely manage to meet together so we
are having a meeting on Tuesday 31
May to review the past year and decide
together what to do for the coming
season. We will meet in the Front
Room at Kate's Place at 11am.
Everyone is welcome, you don't have
to have helped in the Garden, come and
tell us what you would like to see in the
Garden. If you can't come you can
email Helen at hgmarsh@xtra.co.nz
with your ideas. Our policy is that you
are welcome to take crops from the
garden if you can use them. You don't
have to pay by working in the garden
or any other way but if you want to,
you can leave a donation of seeds,
plants or money at Jaques Four Square.
It is a “pay it forward” system. Older
people may have contributed to the
community in the past and we are
offering you the crops from our garden
to pay you back. Younger people
maybe busy with young families and
difficult work times. You may be able
to do something for the community in
the future. It is only a small garden so
we can't feed everyone but let us know
what you need and we will try to make
it as useful and productive as it can be.
Our group started in the community
garden about this time last year. We
planted carrots, broad beans and lupins
and a few garlic, bunching onions, kale
and broccoli. I find carrots difficult at
home but they did well in the
community garden as did the broad
beans and lupins. Did you enjoy them?
Should we grow them again? We were
not so good at harvesting the garlic and
bunching onions. Perhaps we would
need to advertise them better if we
grow them again? The broccoli has
been providing a bunch of nice sprouts
nearly every week. The problem with
that is that they need to be picked
regularly but if I pick them then there is
none left for anyone else. I don't like
kale so there is usually some of that.
Early on we planted a few peas but
they did not do well, They were badly
affected by slugs. We tried some wood
chips to protect them but perhaps we
wer too late with that. Any ideas how
we could do better?
In the summer we had more broccoli
and kale, several types of beans,
several kinds of tomatoes and a few
courgettes. The runner beans and other
climbing beans did quite well. The
French beans struggled but the ones
that survived rewarded small visitors
with beans for a long period. The later
broccoli did not do as well as the
earlier plants. Did you enjoy the
tomatoes? I think a lot of them were

Well the weather has certainly turned
and it’s certainly getting chilly. We are
lucky in the front room at Kate’s Place
that we have a heat pump. So even if
it’s cold outside we are cosy inside.
Recently we were featured in an article
in the Kaipara Lifestyler. It was great
to see a part of Kaiwaka promoted to
those outside our town. Although one
thing they did get wrong was how
much of a team effort the creation of
Kaiwaka Cares was and it continues to
be.
Kaiwaka Cares was born out of a
meeting of like-minded people at a
Kaiwaka Can meeting. From there
Rhona, Glo, Helen, Scott, Janine, Iris
and Sarah worked tirelessly towards
getting the drop-in center up and
running. Even though it’s been said
before a huge thank you to everyone
who helped us get started.
Nearly a year later and it is going from
strength to strength getting busier by
the day. We are still open Monday,
Wednesday and Friday from 10am to
2pm. Whilst the faces may swap
around between days there is always a
smile to greet anyone who comes
through the door. Our current
volunteers are Elise, Beth, Helen, Scott
(our resident JP) and Janine.
Brand new clothes at bargain prices!
Our kind donor has given us some
more lovely fleece and poly/cotton
women’s clothes to sell. All these are
brand new, and made in New Zealand.
We are selling them at the price of $5 a
piece. The first lot have sold well so
pop in and look at the new stock. There
are also a few fleece children’s jackets
and cardigans as well.
Keep warm with a book.
We have a number of books which
have been donated to us. These are all
priced at $1 and our magazines at 50c.
Come and get something to entertain
you. There is something for almost
every taste.
Kaiwaka Holistic Market
The market has been going well.
Essentially it’s a time to meet others
and find out about different types of
healing without having to
make
an
appointment.
There
is
reflexology,
massage, energy healing, hypnotherapy
and much more. All whilst having a
cuppa and a piece of cake. These will
continue to be run fortnightly on a
Saturday evening from 6pm. Next
market is 11 June 2016. For more

CAP Money/Budgeting & Steps to
Employment Courses
The Taratahi agriculture students have
been working on the money course and
the steps to employment. It has been
great hearing of their experiences and
seeing their eyes open to the
opportunities they might not have seen
before. We are looking to book more of
these workshops. They are designed to
be run as small groups so there is
ample time for questions and
discussions
of
individual
circumstances. And best of all they are
free. If you would like to attend one of
these courses contact either Kaiwaka
Cares
or
email
yvonne.denize@capnz.org
or
ring
Yvonne or Brett on #09 431 3234.
Volunteers needed
We have a core group of volunteers
who are working for the community
and running the drop-in space. If you
are interested in volunteering come in
and see us. Even if you can only
volunteer a few hours a month it all
helps.
If there is something that you wish to
run or want to see happen in Kaiwaka
either pop in and tell us or email

rotting on the vines. Some
of the courgettes got too big
as well. We sowed some
more carrot seed but this did
not do well probably we did
not keep it watered well
enough at the start.
When we started there were
already some rocket plants
and silver beet going to seed
so there has been plenty of
rocket seedlings popping up
all around the garden and
these fill in the spaces. We
have usually had a few
lettuce to go with them. Are
there other salad crops that
you would like to see? Can we have
too much rocket? We
planted some Calendula and
some Tagetes marigolds and
let some of them go to seed
so their seedlings are adding
to the variety and, we hope,
discouraging
unwanted
insects. If you want rocket,
calendula or tagetes you are
welcome to take home some
seedlings.
Come to our garden review
and let us know what you
can do for us or what we
can grow for you.

Kaiwaka Bugle - 31 May 2016
Page 11
Thank you for the article last Bugle,
‘Does anyone see the danger” talking
about the highway traffic risk in
Kaiwaka. You make a number of
comments about what is happening and
some of them need clarification.
Firstly, we are well aware that the
community has talked about these
roading concerns for years, made
submissions and been disappointed.
However that is no reason to stop
trying. Council, NZTA and Kaiwaka
Can are working together to see if we
can get better results this time. The
presentation at the Council meeting on
May 9th was the result of a lot of hard
work over the best part of a year.
So what has been done so far? The
whole thing ramped up with a petition
about speeding on SH 1 through
Kaiwaka, organised by Ruth Tidemann
early 2015. This achieved a total of
more than 900 signatures and was
presented to Winston Peters at Bianca’s
Café in the second half of the year. At
the same time, Council had been
working very hard to bring NZTA to
the table and as a result we have been
working with the NZTA team for about
nine months now. We began by
spelling out all of our concerns and
NZTA and Council came back with
what they heard, a total of 29 areas in
Kaiwaka that need attention, related in
some way to SH 1. We believe they
heard us pretty accurately.
In November they pulled together a
brochure and response form which
were distributed very widely round the
community, allowing people to make
comment, add suggestions and get to
know what was happening. The
meeting on May 9th was the end result
of what they heard and what they
believe they can do to fix the problems
we spoke about.
The most obvious and urgent problem,
lowering the speed limit, is not
currently being recommended by
NZTA because of the regulations
around setting speed limits. The
Government is currently revising these.
However, we have been told that the
temporary 50 speed zone will be made
permanent. Reduction of the 70kph to
50kph and extension of the northern
50kph zone are being strongly lobbied
by a group within Kaiwaka Can and
have not been put aside.
The suggestion of a roundabout as the
Oneriri Road solution, we hear has
been raised in the past. It was not
raised
during
the
community
consultations. Council and NZTA
acknowledge that this area is a concern,
and state that further work is needed to
investigate a solution. However, it is
considered a longer term solution due
to the costs involved.
The traffic calming solutions come
from NZTA, in conjunction with
Council. Improved pedestrian access is
part of this and we want this as a top
priority. We are also engaging with the
police over enforcement measures in
the township.
In the shorter term there are lots of
other recommendations we are working
on, such as entrance signs to give
Kaiwaka real identity, new NZTA
speed threshold signage at the
boundaries, walkway connections,
footpath improvements and improved
pedestrian access. Council has a
permanent staff member meeting each
month with Kaiwaka Can and we are
grateful to Annie van der Plas for her
commitment and hard work. The
NZTA team has also been responsive
in their dealings with us.
The plan that was presented on 9th
May is available to view on the
Community
Planning
page
of
Council’s website.
You are welcome to come to any of the
meetings of Kaiwaka Can and you can
see comments from our last meeting
and details of the next meeting
elsewhere in this Bugle.

Principal’s Comment
Otamatea High School students were
involved in many activities during the
recent
holidays.
The
prefects
represented the school at the various
local ANZAC services – Matakohe,
Maungaturoto, Hakaru and Waipu by
laying
wreaths
alongside
other
community groups, organisations and
the armed services. On the final
Saturday I had the pleasure to once
again attend the Gold Duke of
Edinburgh ceremony in Auckland.
Three of our former students were
recognised at this prestigious event.
Their parents, Mrs Bruce, Mr
Maclennan and I couldn’t have been
more proud of their achievements. Mrs
Bruce’s tireless commitment to the
ongoing success of the Duke of
Edinburgh programme at Otamatea
High School is just extraordinary.
Thirty six students have received their
gold awards over the years, which is a
phenomenal achievement.
Recently, a representative from the
Cancer Society came to the school
assembly to present certificates for
Relay for Life. Nikki Donaldson was
awarded
a
certificate
for
her
organisation of the OTA Kids team
over the years; a mammoth task of
ensuring the year 13 students have
everything they need for the event,
meeting deadlines and generally
getting the year 13s organised and
enthused. Sam Allen also received a
certificate for her huge fundraising
effort of raising $1,700 towards the
cause by completing a horse trek.
Finally Eileen Parsons was honoured
for her efforts with organising the staff
team and the fact that she has
persevered over the years through rain,
hail or shine. Eileen does not take a
break, she just keeps going for the
whole 18 hours – it is quite inspiring!
Eileen, is affectionately known as the
‘pink lady’ because of her famous pink
crocheted outfit which she wears each
year. In the six years that Otamatea
High School have been participating in
Relay for Life we have raised over
$27,000, which is a magnificent
achievement! This year we were also
raised the most money out of all of the
schools involved.
On Friday 3rd June we have a staff
only day. The school will be closed for
instruction so that the staff can attend
the Digital Horizons Conference which
is being held at Whangarei Boys’ and
Girls’ School for all
Northland
Secondary
Schools.
The
conference is designed
to upskill staff on all
aspects of information
and
computer
technology. Last year’s
conference was very
beneficial and many
staff brought back ideas
which they have put into practice with
their classes.
~Rachel Clothier-Simmonds, Principal
Te Whare o Rongo
The new student support centre is now
up and running in the old caretaker’s
house, next to the whare. The building
has been named ‘Te Whare o Rongo’,
referring to it’s function as a place of
peace. The building has been
revamped, and lots of work has been
put
into
creating
a
peaceful
environment where our students can
access a range of supports and services.
The front of the building will be where
the Deans are based for their pastoral
support work and where Jenny Reid,
our Student Support Admin has her
new office. Students signing in late do
so here, and this is where students
come for first aide and uniform
support. The sick bay is also in this part
of the building.
The back part of the building is where
counselling and health services can be
accessed. The school counsellor is
working from one of the rooms, and
the GP, nurse, and other external
services are using the other room.
It’s great to have a space where student
support
needs
are
centralised,
prioritised and accessibility improved.
We wish to extend a huge thanks to all
who have worked on this space, and to
the PTCA for the funding support. Kia
ora.

intermediate winner Ocean Shadbolt
makes it two wins in a row for
triathlons this year.
Ocean showed her expert form in the
swim and the bike sections to be within
seconds of the top team’s athletes for
both disciplines even though she had to
do a gear transition between the swim
and bike. It was only when it came to
the run section where the teams had
fresh runners that she dropped back.
Ocean broke last year’s record set by
Tayla Perkinson by a whopping 24
minutes and 8 seconds and also came
3rd overall.
Congratulations to Monica Jaques who
was second in the girls and the only
other competitor to enter as an
individual. Monica also did really well
coming 8th overall.
The teams were hotly
contested with Rhys
Shadbolt and Lee Holst
coming in from the bike
with Rhys only having a
few seconds lead. Isaac
Noser came out the
stronger runner and took
out first place for his
team of Zelda Sims and
Rhys Shadbolt.

Kaiwaka Young Talent in
Classic Show
Kaiwaka locals, Haydn Dyer
and Brianna Thurgood, both
have lead roles in Otamatea
Repertory Theatre’s The
Mikado. Haydn plays the
role
of
Pish-Tush,
a
Nobleman, and Brianna is
acting as Peep-Bo.
Haydn Dyer has a splendid
baritone voice. Two years
ago he won the teenage
section of the championship
for vocal excellence at the
Northland Performing Arts
Festival
in
Whangarei.
Haydn has a great love of
music and theatre in general,
and is keen to make a living
as a composer. Haydn’s
entire family is involved in
ORT – adding their creative
talents both on and off stage.
Brianna is well-known in the
area, as her parents Paul and
Natasha own the GAS
station
at
Mangawhai
Village. Brianna is a keen
singer
and
has
been
performing
in
singing
competitions and doing well
with Trinity exams in
singing for the past few
years.
The Mikado is ‘laugh out
loud’ fun for the entire
family, as Victorian England
meets an imaginary imperial
Japan.
Originally staged at the
Savoy Theatre in London in
1885,
The
Mikado
is
arguably the most popular of
all the Operettas by the
masters of the genre, Gilbert
& Sullivan.
Sparkling satire, marvellous
melodies, and scintillating
silliness abound in
this topsy-turvy tale
of love and misadventures.
Leave your worries behind
and journey to a make-
believe
land
of
lotus
blossoms,
levity,
and
laughter with The Mikado!
Legend has it, that the idea
for The Mikado first sprang
into William S. Gilbert's
mind when an old Japanese
sword, which had been
hanging on the wall of his
study for years, suddenly fell
from its place. Gilbert took
this as an omen and
determined to turn his biting
satire towards the East.
Gilbert did not have to look
far to research the subject of
his new play. He found all
the material he wanted in
Knightsbridge, London. A
magnificent exhibition The
Japanese Village had opened
there, to much popular
acclaim.
W.S. Gilbert visited the
exhibition and learnt, from
over 100 Japanese men and
women employed there,
proper aspects of their
culture. His resulting libretto
incorporates
evocative
imagery of an imaginary
Japanese
town
crafted
lovingly,
while
simultaneously
taking
stinging
satirical
aim
squarely
at
his
own
contemporary England. For
rather than a representation
or reflection of actual
Japanese society, the setting
in a fictitious land serves to
not so thinly veil the true
subject of its satire, namely
Victorian political and social
hypocrisy… with a
large
dose
of
frivolity and FUN!
Opening night is
Saturday July 2nd
and the show will
run
for
eight
performances over
three weekends.
Ticket sales are
open at Tony’s
Lotto Shop, or
online
at
www.ort.org.nz

Flying fox maintenance
Thank you to John Ferguson and
Adrian Buxton for giving up their time
on a recent Sunday to upgrade all the
flying foxes.
Thank you
Thank you to those who attended the
Whanau and PTA meetings last week.
Your support for the school helps all
our students get a better deal. Please
see the wonderful initiative being
planned in the letter from the Whanau
group below. The PTA is also going to
try new things all good things to look
forward to.
Phone app
The Parent teacher app is a really easy
way to send a message to school
about anything. It is also how we will
get a message to you in an emergency.
Please let us know when you down
load it (a message in the absentee app
will work), or if you have any
problems downloading it. The calendar
in it is easy to use.
Sabbatical
From July 4th 2016 until October 2nd
2016 I will be away from school, as I
have been granted a sabbatical by the
Ministry of Education. It is study leave
and refreshment leave for a term.
During this time Mrs Sharlene
Tornquist will be Acting Principal and
Mrs Anna Jamieson the Acting Deputy
Principal. Room 6 will be taught by
Alex Cowie and Sharlene Tornquist.
We are currently advertising for a
relieving teacher for Room 6 we are
looking for a really special person for
this position.
Board of Trustees
Two very longstanding Board members
finished their Trusteeship this week.
We thank Melissa Watts and John
Ferguson for their dedicated service to
our school over a long time. We really
appreciate all your hard work, advice
and leadership over the years. Both
John and Melissa have been BOT
chairpersons on the Board.
Congratulations to our 2 new Board
members, Josie Gritten and Benji
Woodman. We wish you a
long and happy trusteeship.
Caretaker
Our caretaker, Mr Craig
Prouting is retiring on June
2nd. We thank Craig for his
dedicated service to our
school over the last nearly 14
years. We wish him the very
best for his retirement.
Field trip
Our juniors had a wonderful
trip last week, learning all
about a career in pottery and
being on the St John’s
Ambulance. Thank you to
Miss Hunter, Mrs Wilkinson
and , Mrs Jamieson for
organising this trip.
Illnesses
This week we have sent home
quite a few students who came to
school unwell. They had stomach
aches, felt dizzy and may have been
been sick during the previous night.
Some have diarrhoea. Please do not
send your child to school if they are not
well, as this is spreading illness
throughout the school.
School hours
The school is open from 8.00am.
Please be aware that students who
arrive earlier are totally unsupervised,
and there is no guarantee that there is
an adult on site.
Whanau Committee - Kapa Tamariki
Kapa Tamariki (Kids Group) is a
concept that has been formed by the
Whanau Committee of Kaiwaka
School – this is a parent collective that
was established to support the school
for all students with Kapa Haka,
Ngatumanako and cultural support.
The idea of having an after school,
parent led, group to help with
homework was inspired by the goal of
raising academic achievement for
students. At the moment it is still in the
planning stages and we are wanting to
guage parent/student interest.
It would likely run on an afternoon
where a core group of parents will
facilitate the group from 2.304pm and
incorporate a nutritious afternoon
snack, homework and fun activities (in
that order). This is available for all
students of Kaiwaka School so please
register your interest with the school
office.
Nga Mihi (Kind Regards),
~Naomi Walker, on behalf of the
Whanau Committee.
Measles
Measles is spreading around the North
Island, after an outbreak in the
Waikato.
There have been four notified cases in
Northland and we expect to see more.
Measles is VERY infectious and if
you are not immune, there is a high
chance you will get sick.Measles can
be a very serious illness, with one in
three
sufferers
experiencing
complications such as ear infections,
pneumonia, bronchitis or diarrhoea.
About one in ten people will be
admitted to hospital.
The best protection is to have
measles vaccination. If you have not
had confirmed measles illness in the
past, or you have not received TWO
doses of MMR or measles containing
vaccine, you cannot be sure to be
protected. Immunisation protects not
only the individual, but also stops the
spread of this disease within our
communities.
In Northland, MMR vaccine coverage
has not been very high for many years,
and older children, teenagers and
young adults, as well as young
children under 15 months (that is,
not yet old enough to receive the
vaccine) are most at risk.
If you are exposed to someone who has
measles and you are not immune, you
will be asked to selfquarantine for up
to 14 days after exposure. As this is
highly disruptive to families, work and
school, I strongly recommend MMR
vaccination for all school students who
have not received two doses.
Please see your GP or Practice Nurse
- vaccination is free.
~Dr Clair Mills, Medical Officer of
Health, Public Health, Northland
District Health Board
Dental Clinic
Due to staff shortages the Dental Clinic
is not available for a couple of months.
If you have an emergency please ring
0800 MY TEETH (698 3384).
Swimming Pool
The swimming pool is now closed so
please could all keys be returned to the
school ASAP.
We hope you all had a great summer.

Northland’s
Talented
Athletes
Receive Support
Applications submitted to the Kauri
Club, from Northland Regional Sports
Organisations for grants for talented
young Northland sportspeople, saw
nine athletes from six sports codes
receive funding. Applications are
assessed by the Northland Sports
Talent Development Panel made up of
representatives from the Far North,
Kaipara and Whangarei Districts and
Sport Northland. This funding mainly
assists athletes to cover some of the
many expenses incurred in travelling to
events outside the region.
These new grants now make a total of
$197,500 being allocated to talented
Northland Sportspeople since the Kauri
Club was formed in 2000 from funding
received from the family of the late
Garry Frew and the Brian Maunsell
Memorial Trust fund.
Also during this judging round, the new
athletes for the Educare Northland
Sports Talent
Hub
were
selected. Eight
athletes were
chosen for the
regional talent
development
programme to
assist
them
with reaching
their
high
performance sporting goals through
providing local support services and
education. Many of these athletes have
been previous Kauri Club grant
recipients who compete regularly
outside of the region to achieve
national honours and selection.
Northland also had one new Pathway to
Podium athlete selected by their
National Sporting Organisation to be
part of the Northland Pathway to
Podium programme. Nau Puriri was
selected by Paralympics NZ in the Para
-cycling discipline to help him excel
towards being selected for the World
Champs
in
2018
and
Tokyo
Paralympics in 2020.

its huge appetite allows it to out-
compete native ladybirds. It will also
eat other ladybirds and beneficial
insects if it runs out of aphids. It may
also feed on pip fruit, causing
blemishes on the fruit. It has been
known to cluster within bunches of
grapes before harvest, resulting in the
tainting of the juice and any wine made
from the juice. Ladybirds also
aggregate during the winter in dark,
concealed spaces. This can create a
nuisance for home owners. The species
spreads very quickly, making it
difficult to manage. It is native to Asia,
but has spread through Europe, North
America (Canada, USA and Mexico),
throughout most of South America,
UK, Egypt, Kenya and South Africa,
and Russia.
What does the Harlequin Ladybird
look like?
The harlequin is large by ladybird
standards – 5–8 mm long and 4–6.5
mm wide.
It is well known for its very variable
colouration and patterning, which
makes it difficult to distinguish from
other ladybird species.
It looks similar to the common
spotted
ladybird
(Harmonia
conformis). The harlequin ladybird
usually has M-shaped makings on the
pronotum (the area between the head
and abdomen), although this pattern is
not present with darker specimens. In
contrast, the pronotum of the common
spotted ladybird features a W-shaped
black mark or two separate U-shaped
patches.
The harlequin also has small bumps
on the rear of its back.
Harlequin larvae and pupae have a
spikier skin than the common spotted
ladybird.
See the image on page 1.
What should I do if I think I have
found Harlequin Ladybirds?
Please collect a specimen. Photograph
it. Contact MPI’s free 24-hour pest and
disease hotline 0800 80 99 66.
