[QUOTE="Grant, post: 10613, member: 1"] A new invasive species of wasp has been found in St Mary’s Bay, central Auckland. An information flier given to St Marys Bay residents this week by Biosecurity New Zealand said the non-native pest wasp was not known to be present in New Zealand, until now. The lesser banded hornet is also known to feed on insects, including honey bees. “Biosecurity New Zealand is interested in any further sightings of this insect as we would like to be sure there are no others in the area.” Biosecurity NZ said an investigation was now under way to ensure the one found was the only one.
