Attached a paper forwarded by Prof Bernard Slippers
describing a new Eucalyptus leaf pest in Ireland. This beetle is
not yet in Africa, but we need to keep our eyes open. Please
visit the following link for colour photographs of the beetle. If this introduced Eucalyptus pest in Ireland follows the same trend as other Eucalyptus pests, it might start moving around the world soon. Something to look out for. |
