Early Adopter Collects Invasive Species, Kudzu Stink Bug, Sells Specimens on BioInvaders, Invasive Species Marketplace

Gainesville, GA, July 31, 2012 --(PR.com)-- BioInvaders Incorporated got its first collector on the firm’s Invasive Species Marketplace. Web development by BioInvaders has made it possible to submit information about an invasive species’ identity, location, and density; and then submit the invasive species specimen for sale on the website. An early adopter of the company’s business model has done just that by collecting invasive Kudzu Stink Bugs (Megacopta cribraria) and putting them up for sale for $800 per 100 bugs…or $8/bug. The collector and the firm project that an institution or organization will want to buy these invasive species laboratory specimens for research or educational purposes.

“Damn Megacopta cribraria, I'll sell them,” said invasive species collector Virginia Mannino of Gainesville, GA, in response to a post by the President of BioInvaders, Brett Scott, on Facebook. “This Kudzu Stink Bug is going to be a major problem…it's all over the wisteria & roses. It will target the bean crops; it has already spread outside Georgia. I have many gardens; I know how to kill bugs, done this for years. This creeper is going to be a problem. We have sprayed; sprayed; and sprayed it keeps coming back, just as strong if not stronger. It loves the sunny areas. It's after all legumes... it’s coming I'm telling you it is coming,” Mannino elaborated.

“Make sure they are dead before you ship them...according to the USDA,” responded Scott. He is making sure the firm is following all the laws, protocols, and procedures for shipping biological specimens according to the government. “We specialize in cooperating with government agencies on the removal of invasive species from compromised habitats and shipping them to institutions for research purposes,” Scott said. “We hope teachers across the country are spending the summer preparing their budgets to use a Bioinvaders specimen in their classroom this year, because that would substantiate our business model and validate everything we are doing,” he opined.

Virginia Mannino is at the forefront of a new era in invasive species extermination and habitat restoration. Her contributions to ecology are numerous: from her sales of hairless cats on her website, to her participation in the BioInvaders, Invasive Species Marketplace, things she does conserves biodiversity.
