Colorado potato beetle confirmed in Hampshire

First Kent, now Hants: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/...on.&text=Notes to editors:,in 1811 in the USA.

Apparently first breeding in the UK since 1977 - significant numbers arrive in consignments of fresh produce from the continent so surprising that more outbreaks do not happen.

We get them here. Tough to spray a contact fir them as the eggs are under the leaves. Wait until you get army worms. Make flea beetle and Colorado beetle seem friendly.

Our climate might be too wet/cold for the fall armyworm, depending on how climate change develops but potentially bad news for Central Europe:
