Asian lady beetles are not harmful to humans, but they can be a nuisance, especially in the forest. They are known for their tendency to gather in large numbers and emit a strong odor when they are disturbed or squished. To avoid being annoyed by these insects, it's best to keep your food and drinks covered and sealed to prevent the beetles from being attracted to them. It's also important to avoid squishing them as much as possible to avoid the unpleasant smell. If they do get inside your tent or camping area, you can use a broom or vacuum to gently sweep or suck them up and remove them from the area.
