Two students from the University of Canterbury have spent their summer developing and 3D printing a model brown marmorated stink bug.
The aim is to raise awareness of this potential invader, which poses a major risk to the country's horticultural sector if it gets a foothold in Aotearoa.
The pest, which originates in east Asia, hitchhikes on passengers and imported goods and is now found in North and South America and Europe.
