Manawatu and Whanganui could soon be home to a new foreign wasp.
Horizons Regional Council has made an application to import and release the bud-galling wasp to control the spread of an invasive acacia shrub.
Council's biosecurity and biodiversity manager Craig Davey says the critter will be quote, the "friendliest wasp you'll ever meet".
He spoke to Corin Dann.
