Abstract

The present article reports data on the detection оf the Asian lady beetle (Harmonia axyridis) imago in 2015 and 2017 in Voronezhsky Reserve, Voronezh oblast of Russia. The entry of the species is thought to originate from the eastern regions of Ukraine as a result of an independent expansion or accidental transport.
