Why not just call it an insect? Why does the article call it a "pest"? Is it some "we protect our borders" posturing?

Will no one think of the pests
lol I'm more concerned with it being evidence of biased wording on a government website. Kill the fuckers, for all I care
Is it really 'biased' to consider a non-native insect a pest? Considering how humans have fucked up native ecologies many times over doing this sort of thing, seems like a good default assumption.
