sounds very similar to a radio story i heard in 2014 ago about credit card debt. the debt got sold to a collection company and a couple received a court summons. they knew they had taken on debt, but they were confused about who this new company was and where specifically the number they were supposed to owe came from.
they show up in court and just ask the lawyer for the collection company: can you prove where this number comes from? Do you have a contract showing that you purchased our debt? probably luckily for them, a reporter researching a book on the topic showed up and asked the same questions.
10 minutes later they get in front of the judge and the collection company drops the whole case and theyre free to go. story is below, it has a transcript in the link too

@onenicebugperday ....I don't know enough to do a full read of this myself but I do know enough to know that this is just so, so wrong. If you have time and energy I'd love some real info about ladybugs/birds for the people
Oh boy. There are more than two! There are 6000 described species of lady beetle in the family Coccinellidae throughout the world and you could call any of them a ladybug.
The ones above are the Asian lady beetle (top), Harmonia axyridis, and the seven-spotted lady beetle, Coccinella septempunctata.
The Asian lady beetle is not inherently bad or harmful. They're native to eastern Asia, but have now spread globally. They live primarily outdoors, eat garden pests, and are good for the environment in their native range. They may out-compete native ladybug species where they are non-native, but they still help keep aphid and other soft-bodied plant-feeding bug populations in check which is helpful to gardeners and farmers and plants in general.
They're not "aggressive," but they are capable of biting if you handle them. The bite is not medically significant, it's just a little pinch. In the fall when it starts cooling off, they come inside looking for places to congregate and spend the winter. The bad smell is a defensive secretion used to deter predators.
They have a huge range of coloration:
I suppose the biggest threat they pose (as far as I know thus far) is to biodiversity since they are taking the place of less-common native species across the globe.
The seven-spotted lady beetle is native to the old world, so possibly originated in Europe or Asia, so it is NOT native to the US and has been introduced as pest control. It also out-competes some native species. It's not better than the Asian lady beetle, people just find it less annoying because they don't come inside our houses in droves.
To say one of these species is good and one is bad is a huge simplification that really makes no sense.
