The recent discovery in Jersey of the invasive Asian Hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) could have dire consequences for managed honeybee colonies and, probably to a much lesser extent, possibly for wild pollinators too.
The invasive Harlequin Ladybird (Harmonia axyridis) consumes the eggs and young of a wide variety of other insects, inc. pollinators such as butterfly and moth eggs, and has been shown to reduce local biodiversity with an impact on native pollinator species.
Invasive plants such as Hottentot Fig (Carpobrotus edulis) can dominate coastal habitats and reduce the diversity of flowering plants available to pollinators in these areas.
It will be essential to maintain vigilance and control measures to ensure that the impact of all invasive non-native species is minimised or preferably even eradicated if possible.
