This is why Australia must be very strict with bio security. No risk taking and having to be very, very strict on what is brought into the unique prehistoric island continent. Things do slip through from time to time usually in food imports, but they do go through strict procedures. Creepy crawlies can be hard to detect because the are so small and can hide easily. There is nothing like Australian flora and fauna anywhere in the world. None of it can ever be replaced, so it all comes under government protection for very obvious reasons.
Keeping foreign insects and fungi etc, out of Australia is a hard task 24/7. The damage can never be undone once it happens and can decimate our country very fast.
UPDATE: NSW Bees are in lockdown 27/6/22 funny there is no mention of the source of origin. We have the right to know this.
