As for UK imports to New Zealand, if you think only a few you are wrong.

I was talking specifically about species of earthworms, and the
information was from a source I trust.

Try
loads.

Of species of earthworms? If you can let me know which species of
earthworm have been imported from the UK to NZ, I'll challenge my
source.

I was posting in *support* of your thesis that your quoted url was
relevant to the UK - don't jump down my throat!

if worms only then I will defer to your knowledge as I personally haven't a
clue. We do however have many imports from England (my folks for one) and a
nu,mber of them are now pests (my folks say the same of me). I wasn't
jumping down your throat, just saying that we have been 'lucky' to get so
many british species going ferel out here. Interestingly enough a number
seem to be classed as part of the british heritage and/or are controllable
in the UK. I guess it points to the influence british horticulture has had
(up until recent times) in NZ.
