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.]
