Rhyzobius forestieri is a species of lady beetle in the family Coccinellidae. It is found in Australia, North America, Oceania, and Europe.[1][2][3] The species is thought to be originally from Australia and recently introduced to parts of Europe in the 1980s as a biological control agent to control the Olive Scale pest (Saissetia oleae).[4]
