How the Bug Traveled by Max Barclay
One expert backtracked to the bug’s origins and believes he knows how it made its way through multiple countries. Max Barclay works at the National History Museum for the Coleoptera collection. He thinks the bug first got to the United Kingdom.
Predicted Another Arrival in 2014
In 2014, Barclay said he thought this brown marmorated stink bug might move from the east to Britain, and he wasn’t wrong! This bug was first spotted in Natural History Museum gardens in 2020.
