    When you mentioned scorpions I automatically wondered if there was a steak house nearby. We had scorpions showing up in areas on the US east coast years back that were from the Southwest. Turns out they were coming in on mesquite wood shipped in for cooking steaks at a major chain. They most likely didn't survive the winter.

      Not destructive but even if it provides a beneficial role for a lot of animals theres always one animal that loses out. For example norway spruces, lots of red squirrels love them but they also outcompete scots pines in mountainous areas meaning they have the potential to become extinct in some areas and lose their status as a dominant species in others

    Wallabies are gorgeous little things. I'm an Aussie and we are very fond of them. They aren't dangerous at all, and if they're accustomed to getting food from people then they will definitely try to be everyone's friend. In general they will just watch you from a distance though. Tasmania is a climate analogue for England with cold snowy winters. The wallaby species from Tassie should be fine, but for mainland species it might be too cold.

    A few years ago I had a farmer's vegetable box delivered weekly. One week they sent a video out to their customers that one of the drivers took while delivering the boxes early one morning before it got properly light, and ahead of the van in the headlights was a wallaby bounding along the lane. It was fabulous! :)

    When I told my Dad he shrugged it off and asked if I'd seen any elephants or giraffes too! To this day I know what I saw and exactly where to within 6 inches. No evidence now though, there were no smart phones back in the 90's.

    Hoped the Wallaby would be mentioned. Have actually seen them at large on the Downs, a truly marvellous sight to see and I hope they thrive for years to come.
    When you finally mentioned NZ I had the really nightmarish thought that you were going to say that the weta was living in the UK (sorry but the best weta is a DEAD weta, they used to thrive in our garden and every time you opened the shed door you would have to swish around with the broom or they'd drop on you from the rafters, I still have nightmares).

    I know it's a big can of worms but there are also the big cats. I don't know if they are still around (or rather managed to breed successive generations) but know for certain that a lot were released into the wild in 1976 when the DWAA (dangerous wild animals act) came into effect prohibiting the unlicensed keeping of certain animals, those who already had these animals were faced with either handing them over to licensed zoos or more likely having them put down by vets because the zoos were full. As such people took them into the countryside and turned them loose, I know two families down in the south west who did this and they apparently weren't the exception

      You even have the Woodwose or Sasquatch in Wales, central England and around mount mac dhui in Scotland. There are about 500 sightings and encounters the last 20 years in UK. Believe
      it or not. Even in Scandinavia and especially in Sweden 🇸🇪 are some of those extremely shy bipedal creatures and in the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) in southern Germany. Look on UA-cam for „Near death experience in the black forest“ or for „Discovering the Swedish Bigfoot 1 - 3“. You will be surprised what’s going on even here in Europe.

    Most of the Siberian chipmunk were imported from South Korea. During the 60s and 70s, South Korea export the chipmunks as a pet because simple, they are cute than am European one. And the Siberian chipmunks were spread the whole Europe.

    I've lived in Cornwall for 12 years now and I've still not seen a stick insect despite always looking for them. My friend saw one on the first day she moved here! There's a population in a nearby park but even knowing which plants they are living in I still haven't seen one.
