Biosecurity New Zealand - Brown Marmorated Stink Bug Winter Awareness

Biosecurity New Zealand - Brown Marmorated Stink Bug Winter Awareness

Biosecurity New Zealand has launched a campaign around brown marmorated stink bug awareness during the winter months.

"The BMSB winter campaign focuses on showing people how to correctly identify BMSB and report it. BMSB looks like some other bug species but has elements that make it identifiable, including white stripes or banding on its antennae and abdomen. The bug is about the same size as a 10-cent coin.'
