I don't think it would be any more of a problem than any other LB
species, unless one is worried about them replacing the native species
in an area. They all have the foul odor/taste.

You may well be correct about them all having the foul odor/taste. I know
that only recently has there been a great concern about the Asian Beetle.
The other LB apparently were not a concern before but perhaps they should
have been.
