00:00:17,453 --> 00:00:21,573
Speaker 3: Good morning, sir, Unti money, have you become an entomologist?

6
00:00:22,213 --> 00:00:24,213
Speaker 2: I knew you'd be loving the bug content this morning.

7
00:00:24,653 --> 00:00:27,613
Speaker 2: So have you ever come across I was going through

8
00:00:27,653 --> 00:00:30,173
Speaker 2: my bad at Chibad experiences. I mean, you've got your

9
00:00:30,173 --> 00:00:32,893
Speaker 2: SAand flyes. So first of all, sand flies, do you

10
00:00:32,933 --> 00:00:35,053
Speaker 2: build up a resistance? Do they stop binding you after

11
00:00:35,093 --> 00:00:36,573
Speaker 2: two days? No?

12
00:00:36,893 --> 00:00:39,893
Speaker 3: There are thirteen species of sand flies, two either ones

13
00:00:39,933 --> 00:00:43,573
Speaker 3: that like people, and those two know exactly where you are.

14
00:00:43,693 --> 00:00:46,173
Speaker 2: Okay, because I'm convinced that even if you've been on

15
00:00:46,213 --> 00:00:47,573
Speaker 2: if you go to the West Coast for a couple

16
00:00:47,613 --> 00:00:49,813
Speaker 2: of days, if you go for a week, yeah, Monday

17
00:00:49,853 --> 00:00:52,413
Speaker 2: and Tuesday are terrible. You absolutely smashed by sand flies.

18
00:00:52,453 --> 00:00:56,053
Speaker 2: Wednesday's okay. By Friday you're fine. Friday you're just walking around.

19
00:00:56,093 --> 00:00:58,253
Speaker 2: You were in a singleton, Stubb. He's no drama. But

20
00:00:58,373 --> 00:01:00,293
Speaker 2: the locals you need hear a local moaning about the

21
00:01:00,333 --> 00:01:02,013
Speaker 2: sand flies on the West coast.

22
00:01:02,053 --> 00:01:04,813
Speaker 3: You know, No, that's right, that's right. You do get

23
00:01:04,893 --> 00:01:07,693
Speaker 3: you do get a bit of an and tolerance for

24
00:01:07,733 --> 00:01:10,373
Speaker 3: it if you like. Yeah, and I think that's that's

25
00:01:10,373 --> 00:01:13,053
Speaker 3: probably the word. But you got it. Yeah, absolutely, And

26
00:01:13,213 --> 00:01:16,253
Speaker 3: these guys have of course, you have to remember people

27
00:01:16,333 --> 00:01:19,453
Speaker 3: have not lived in our theo of more than till

28
00:01:19,693 --> 00:01:20,933
Speaker 3: thousand years.

29
00:01:21,053 --> 00:01:21,413
Speaker 2: Yeah.

30
00:01:21,493 --> 00:01:24,813
Speaker 3: And and these sentries were here anyway, and they decided,

31
00:01:25,093 --> 00:01:27,333
Speaker 3: bugger the wal rushes and the and the and all

32
00:01:27,333 --> 00:01:29,413
Speaker 3: the other things that are on the beach. We're kind

33
00:01:29,413 --> 00:01:31,893
Speaker 3: to go for his for the barking. Hell.

34
00:01:32,373 --> 00:01:37,693
Speaker 2: Yeah, So poor on Iceland, speaking of unwanted friends, Poor

35
00:01:37,693 --> 00:01:40,693
Speaker 2: in Iceland has ended up with mosquitos for the first time.

36
00:01:40,733 --> 00:01:43,813
Speaker 2: But we have these yellow legged hornets that have been discovered.

37
00:01:43,973 --> 00:01:47,573
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, I saw this coming about three months ago

38
00:01:47,653 --> 00:01:52,373
Speaker 3: because I remember taking the mention of MBI of that

39
00:01:52,493 --> 00:01:55,013
Speaker 3: this had happened, and I took a piece of paper

40
00:01:55,093 --> 00:01:58,413
Speaker 3: and sat on my desk, thinking, one day I'm going

41
00:01:58,493 --> 00:02:01,733
Speaker 3: to use this son text program. And it only took

42
00:02:01,773 --> 00:02:03,573
Speaker 3: three months, and here this is. We now have a

43
00:02:03,733 --> 00:02:08,373
Speaker 3: second and third case that's in Auckland. And I tell

44
00:02:08,413 --> 00:02:12,453
Speaker 3: you what, I've seen these things in Japan and they

45
00:02:12,493 --> 00:02:15,053
Speaker 3: are big. I mean, you know what a wasp looks like,

46
00:02:15,133 --> 00:02:18,213
Speaker 3: don't you roughly yeah, okay, at least one and a

47
00:02:18,213 --> 00:02:21,613
Speaker 3: half times the size. You can hear them coming as

48
00:02:21,693 --> 00:02:25,573
Speaker 3: if they are driving in a lawn mower with wings.

49
00:02:25,653 --> 00:02:28,773
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. It is unbelievable. And the

50
00:02:29,013 --> 00:02:31,253
Speaker 3: second thing is they have no sense of humor. They

51
00:02:31,373 --> 00:02:35,333
Speaker 3: are really really aggressive. They'll get anything they want and

52
00:02:35,493 --> 00:02:38,013
Speaker 3: have a go at it. And there you are. And

53
00:02:38,053 --> 00:02:40,853
Speaker 3: so we have this problem. So I have lovely chat

54
00:02:40,893 --> 00:02:44,893
Speaker 3: with my MPI colleagues, if you like, because I used

55
00:02:44,933 --> 00:02:48,133
Speaker 3: to work in this gig. When I became part of

56
00:02:48,213 --> 00:02:52,253
Speaker 3: Ministry of Agriculture, we had one of these paper wasps

57
00:02:52,293 --> 00:02:55,053
Speaker 3: coming into New Zealand. It's the same thing that was

58
00:02:55,173 --> 00:03:02,253
Speaker 3: those that was in nineteen eight seven six Actually they

59
00:03:02,493 --> 00:03:04,053
Speaker 3: yeah that sort of time when I was there, but

60
00:03:04,653 --> 00:03:07,173
Speaker 3: they arrived there too. So here we go.

61
00:03:07,293 --> 00:03:10,333
Speaker 4: We've got these yellow legged hornets in Auckland at the moment.

62
00:03:10,653 --> 00:03:13,893
Speaker 4: And what I suggest we do as gardeners and as

63
00:03:13,973 --> 00:03:16,453
Speaker 4: nations and people who are in the in the garden

64
00:03:16,533 --> 00:03:20,173
Speaker 4: or outside all the time, keep an eye out for

65
00:03:20,293 --> 00:03:23,373
Speaker 4: these things because we are still in a system by

66
00:03:23,373 --> 00:03:27,013
Speaker 4: which we can do something about it. Not in the Netherlands,

67
00:03:27,093 --> 00:03:31,533
Speaker 4: they they probably lost it by the way, last week Ireland,

68
00:03:31,973 --> 00:03:32,933
Speaker 4: same species.

69
00:03:33,853 --> 00:03:39,213
Speaker 2: Oh really Ireland? Yes, wow, okay, yes, yeah.

70
00:03:38,613 --> 00:03:42,333
Speaker 3: It's it's it's a thing from Asia. It's in Spain,

71
00:03:42,453 --> 00:03:44,573
Speaker 3: it's in France. It's been there for quite a while

72
00:03:45,453 --> 00:03:48,133
Speaker 3: and now being go here. And I think it's got

73
00:03:48,173 --> 00:03:50,653
Speaker 3: something to do with with boats coming into the harbor

74
00:03:50,773 --> 00:03:54,293
Speaker 3: and these things having or almost not good nests yet.

75
00:03:55,853 --> 00:03:58,533
Speaker 3: So here you go. All the stuff I put into

76
00:03:58,573 --> 00:04:01,013
Speaker 3: your stuff, maybe you will put on the website. But

77
00:04:01,053 --> 00:04:03,333
Speaker 3: the first thing I say, keep come, keep your eyes

78
00:04:03,413 --> 00:04:08,613
Speaker 3: open and report to NPI eight hundred eighth nine ninety

79
00:04:08,653 --> 00:04:11,853

80
00:04:12,133 --> 00:04:13,093
Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree.

85
00:04:21,173 --> 00:04:24,093
Speaker 2: as well, so you can compare the hornets with paper wasps.

86
00:04:24,253 --> 00:04:26,573
Speaker 2: Make sure you're getting the right yellow legged thing. But
