Majka, CGMC; Queens County: Harrington, summer 1998, M.E.M. Smith, ACPE; Prince County: Summerside, 4 September 2001 , C.G. Majka, CGMC. Newly recorded on Prince Edward Island. Harmonia axyridis is an Asian species intentionally introduced to North American and established in Louisiana in 1988 and Mississippi in 1990 ( Hoebeke & Wheeler 1996 ). It has since colonized almost the entire eastern United States and southern Canada and there are now populations in Washington, Oregon, California, and British Columbia ( Hoebeke & Wheeler 1996 ). It was reported in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in 1995 by Hoebeke & Wheeler (1996) & McCorquodale (1998) and is now common and widespread in many areas of both provinces. On Prince Edward Island it remains an uncommon species.
