First detections of nonnative insect species are often made by curious members the public rather than specialists or trained professionals. Passive surveillance is a crucial component national biosecurity surveillance, highlighted early detection case studies several prominent arthropod pests (e.g., Asian longhorned beetle [ALB], Jorō spider, spotted lanternfly). These examples demonstrate that curiosity and recognition novelty in natural world, along with enabling technology systems, critical part effective invasive management. This particularly impactful when dealing conspicuous for new emerging have yet to be detected location. Data from historical recent accounts first ALB incursions other forest underscore need invest passive reporting systems fully integrate observations into existing frameworks. New automated approaches streamline assessment can generate pest alerts initiate formal regulatory assessment. Biodiversity monitoring platforms, such as iNaturalist, provide focal point community engagement aggregate verified observations. Empowering proactive biological provides needed support species. Embracing active cost lead greatest gains management around world.
