Has a New Species of Insect Appeared in the Middle of London?

When an unnamed insect scratch evince up in ever - grow number in London , England , the most logical step would be to take one to some expert so they can distinguish it . What do you do when the insects first appear in the experts ’ own back pace , the Wildlife Garden outside the Natural History Museum ? Even after checking it against the museum ’s collection of 28 million bug specimen , no one is certain what specie this is . How could an intact species go undetected in an urban area until now ? Or , unknown still , what could cause a totally novel species to come out and prosper like this ?

The bugs are midget , more or less rice - sized , and they feed on the seeds of carpenter’s plane trees . They probably do n’t pose a serious menace , although invasive species are never good news , if that ’s what they turn over out to be . Their number are increasing steady , and they ’ve already been found beyond the museum ’s grounds . Entymologists think they had a match with Arocatus roeselii , a central European insect that lives near alder tree , but Arocatus roeselii has a reddish coloration .

Experts with the museum recall the bugs might be Arocatus roeselii that move in and flourish without their born predator , but they ’ve left launch the possibility that these bugs are an all novel , undiscovered specie of insect . Why they suddenly come out in the middle of a major urban center is unknown . If anyone can come up with a good account , it ’s the io9 reader . Can you come up with some wholly implausible ( or totally plausible , for you hard SF sticklers ) reasons for the front of these foreign bug ? Image by : BBC News .
