    Brief

    This opportunity involves conducting surveillance activities to monitor and track the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) population across the UK. Recent data shows concerning growth in BMSB presence, with 49 recorded individuals in 2025—more than double the 2024 count—indicating both increased incursions and establishing breeding populations. The threat extends to related species such as the yellow-spotted stink bug (Erthesina fullo), which was recently detected. Surveillance findings reveal that BMSB enters the UK through multiple pathways, with international trade and travel identified as primary risk factors. This programme seeks to strengthen biosecurity measures and monitoring protocols to prevent further spread of these invasive insects that pose significant risks to UK plant health and agriculture. Suppliers should be prepared to conduct field surveillance, data collection, population assessment, and reporting activities across multiple UK locations.
