There’s lots of good bugs in our backyards, BUT there’s some bad bugs we would not want in our gardens or community! Stinky, nasty pests like the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) or the destructive Queensland fruit fly.

Come along to a Bad Bugs Biosecurity Session brought to you by Biosecurity New Zealand and Ko Tātou This is Us. You’ll learn how you can be involved in protecting Aotearoa against pests and diseases, and also get to see a BMSB detector dog in action!

Suitable for the whole family.

Venue: Expressions Arts & Entertainment Centre, 836 Fergusson Drive, Upper Hutt, Wellington
