Chilocorus stigma, commonly known as the twice-stabbed ladybug, is a native resident of the United States and Canada.

It is sometimes confused with the "two-stabbed lady beetle", Chilocorus orbus, which is widespread in California.

It is a beneficial insect, and is useful in both natural wood stands and commercial forests such as orchards and citrus groves.

[3] C. stigma is currently not a lady beetle that can be sold for commercial use in orchards or on farms.

C. stigma has been shown, like other ladybeetles, to be susceptible to the use of insecticides diminishing its population in the wild.
