The start of spring is also the start of the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug season and whilst we don't have the pest in New Zealand it is causing havoc in other countries and to horticulture crops worldwide. Customs NZ are intercepting it at our borders with the BMSB featuring in this weeks episode of New Zealand's own Border Patrol.
Last week Nikki Mandow and Bernard Hickey of Radio NZ posted a pod cast on the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug - Stink Bugs: Be afraid, be very afraid.
