UK scientists confirm Asia Stink Bug has hitched rides
Was on ITV1HD London news
a Stink Bug was found in Surrey. This Asia Stink Bug can destroy fresh crops in our nation. [It is brown, stinky and will strike fear into the hearts of apple and other fruit growers. Scientists have now confirmed that the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys), a small flying insect that emits an unpleasant almond-like odour, has arrived in Britain, after most probably hitching a ride on packaging crates. The insect, which looks similar to native shield bugs, is considered a pest in the USA and in its south-east Asian home because it creates brown marks on fruit and vegetables from apples to cucumbers that make them less aesthetically pleasing for buyers and reduce their value.] https://www.theguardian.com/environm...ted-stink-bugs The above link is from March. |
