I found an interesting pop article about Harmonia axyridis in Italy
The yellow menace Where did I get the gist of the matter and wanted to share it: the Asiatic cow displaces local species, even the seven-point cow, and due to the peculiarities of behavior and technology gets into the wine, spoiling its taste, which threatens the economy of the region.countries.
* The google chrome browser translates from different languages on the fly, so I'm used to it, and I almost don't need it, except for a couple of plugins that it doesn't have.*

Similar thoughts were expressed about some all-fresh chalcidoids (Eulophidae, Pteromalidae) used in biomethod, which, while containing imported species, pose a serious threat to native ones.

Along the way, I discovered that molbiol does not have a clear topic with the title about biomethod (and the fight against insects is reduced to protecting collections :0), so let it be... But for greater content of the conversation, I suggest archiving here grains of knowledge about the unforeseen effects of seemingly useful actions (biomethods, introductions).

In my opinion, you can't, I didn't come out ...

Although, as I found out, not the main supplier, but Box Elder (as it is called) can be used to produce syrup, and it gives it a slightly harsh taste (you need to try it).
From the annotation to this video, it is ranked third in terms of taste:

"Acer saccharum, Acer nigrum (Sugar Maples) came in first for taste. In second place for taste was Acer plataneides (Norway Maple). In third place was Acer negundo (Common Box Elder). In fourth place was the Acer rubrum (Red Maple, or Swamp Maple). In last place is Acer saccarinum (Silver Maple)."

Here's how it's done:

(After evaporation in a frying pan, about 25 ml of syrup is obtained from a liter)

As the Americans say, " if you were given a lemon (that is, a bad thing), then make lemonade out of it (that is, profit)"!

It turns out - yes, I didn't know

But what I would like to note is that Acer platanoides is in second place - an indigenous non-moral species of maple, and the most characteristic element of steppe and forest-steppe oak forests (by the way, we tell children about its sugar properties on excursions to botsada). There is a lot of it, and they will start driving syrup from it as soon as they try it out.

For those who collected in the Caucasus, the years around 2008-2010...
I received a letter, I think it is possible to voice it, for the good of the cause.

I work in the Laboratory of Ecology of Invasions of the Institute of Ecology and Evolution. Severtsov. I deal with alien beetle species.

I am currently conducting research on breeding sites of the harmony changeable ladybug (Harmonia axyridis) in the Caucasus and European Russia. This year, this ladybug is especially plentiful in the Sochi area, but when it appeared there is not known. Have you ever seen this cow near the village of Estosadok or anywhere else?
