This is the first sighting of this exotic invasive species from Europe that is beginning to turn up in various places around southern Australia and is probably being spread around via the plant nursery industry.

I saw the 'significant sighting' notification and got excited... at least we now know they're here. The whole area is planted so it's not unreasonable to think they came in via nursery.
