Invasive Insects are those that have a native distribution in one part of the world and have been transported outside of their natural migratory range, establishing themselves in a new ecosystem. Invasive insects can outcompete native insects and damage the new ecosystem into which they have been introduced. An example of invasive insects covered in this Newsletter is the Strawberry blossom weevil (Anthonomus rubi), a native pest in Europe, Asia, and parts of North Africa, which was first detected in British Columbia, Canada, in 2019. Scientists are now actively tracking the introduction and spread of this invasive insect.
