The alternating white bands on the antennae are supposedly fershure markers. There's a particular Asian wasp that eats 'em but the geniuses in the gummint are scared the wasps may be a problem in their own right.
Down in SE Michigan farm country there was a mite eating up the soybeans I think it was. So they dumped truckloads of Asian lady beetles. People were vacuuming them up by the thousands. They look exactly like the ladybugs of old but bigger.
