Bagrada Bug News - HereOnThePrimalEdge - 03-01-2016
Keep an eye out for this new pest:
The bagrada bug was discovered on the Island of Hawaii in May 2015. Once it becomes established on#8208;island, this insect seems to be fairly rapidly. On the Island of Hawaii, the bagrada bug seems to prefer weed hosts (like Cleome gynandra and Brassica nigra) than crops but this could change rapidly.
