Between Sun-Jupiter and Sun-Earth lagrange points?

Jupiter is far more massive than Earth and its region of space is far less crowded (by other massive stuff) as our neighbourhood.

Therefore, its Lagrangian points are far more crowded with all kinds of asteroids (Trojans, Greeks, Hildas...).

Any asteroid in Earth's L-points would be easily displaced by interference, even from a small planet like Mars.

However, our L-points are occupied by artificial probes (telescopes and such) that we have placed there. I bet Jupiterians (Jovians? Zeusians? Jupiterlings?) cannot say the same.
