"Ces chinois vont finir par nous bouffer"

            Sans tomber dans la xénophobie de base, cette petite bête, la coccinelle asiatique, est assez métaphorique de la précédente réflexion vue et entendue au PMU du coin...

On l'a introduite dans nos cultures en tant qu'auxiliaire "bio" pour lutter contre les ravageurs. Ben oui : après tout, elle est plus résistante que nos bonnes vieilles coccinelles à 2 ou 7 points, et tellement moins exigeante (pas de RTT, ou de prud'hommes...), et surtout tellement plus active et utile (entendez par là, vorace).

Le hic c'est que cette charmante bête (Harmonia axyridis), est tellement plus résistante et vorace qu'elle prend peu à peu le pas sur les espèce endémiques, la larve n'hésitant pas à se repaître de celles de nos bonnes vieilles coccinelles avec un béret et une baguette sous le bras de temps à autres. 

Oui madame.
Ou comment dénoncer coup sur coup :
 
- l'exploitation du tiers monde,
- la gentille bêtise des piliers de bars
- les dangers des solutions toutes faites,
- les chinois du FBI,
- le dumping social,
- Le travailler plus pour gagner plus dans un monde fini.
- la faculté qu'a la nature à toujours avoir le dernier mot.

"I'm telling you: those chinese are gonna eat us all."

Without being to much xenophobic, this little lady, the asian ladybug, is quite metaphoric of the story to tell when you're in a bar in front of your sixth beer...

It was introduced in our gardens to help us as a "bio" helper. It has lots of advantages : much more resistant than our classical 2 ou 7 points ladybug, and so much less asking (no paid vacancies, no lawyer when fired), and much more working (much more voracious).

The problem is that this charming girl (Harmonia axyridis), is so much more resistant and voracious than the endemic population of ladybugs that it just submerges it, this nice beetle larva not hesitating to eat our good old french ladybug larvas (the ones with bread and beret). 

Yes madam, that's scary.
