Diagnosis of leukopenia and neutropenia. A complete blood count helps in diagnosis of leukopenia and neutropenia. Neutropenia in adults is defined as an absolute neutrophil count of less than 500 cells per microliter (ÂµL) of blood. Counts less than 1000 cells/ÂµL are dangerous and may raise the risk of infections.
Beetles live in all different types of environments, including on land, underground and in water. Some even live and feed on plants, trees and other types of vegetation. The average lifespan for the majority of beetle species is around 1 year or less.
WHERE DID THEY COME FROM? The Asian Lady Beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas), is relatively new to this country. The beetle is native to Asia (e.g., China, Russia, Korea, Japan), where it dwells in trees and fields, preying on aphids and scale insects. The first field populations in the United States were found in Louisiana in 1988.
