3 Floating Water PennywortHydrocotyle ranunculoides Chokes waterways, impacting upon fish, plants and invertebrates. © GBNNSS Invasive non-native species

4 Water FernAzolla filiculoides Reduces light beneath water surface, killing native plants and causing de-oxygenation. © GBNNSS Invasive non-native species

5 Rhododendron ponticum in Snowdonia. Taking over native ecosystems. © Mike McCabe Invasive non-native species

6 Topmouth GudgeonPseudorasbora parva Can achieve high densities and dominate waterways in which they become established. © Matt Brazier Invasive non-native species

7 Environment Agency Rotenone piscicide application. © Matt Brazier

8 Heath Star Moss Campylopus introflexus Invasive moss from the southern hemisphere, now carpeting areas of British moors and heaths. © GBNNSS Invasive non-native species

9 Japweed Sargassum muticum Fast growing, reduces light availability & increases sedimentation rates. Clogs harbours & beaches. © Chris Wood Invasive non-native species

10 Oxford RagwortSenecio squalidus Oxford Botanic Gardens escapee (late 18 th century). Spread via railway lines across Britain. © GBNNSS Invasive non-native species

14 Signal CrayfishPacifastacus leniusculus Rapid spread since introduction in 1970’s. Carrier of ‘crayfish plague’ which kills infected native crayfish. © GBNNSS Invasive non-native species

15 Goat’s RueGalega officinalis Widely naturalised on waste ground and railway embankments, especially in the south-east. Invasive non-native species © GBNNSS

16 Australian Swamp StonecropCrassula helmsii Forms dense mats, out-competing native species, and choking ponds and drainage ditches. Invasive non-native species © GBNNSS

18 Michaelmas DaisyAster novi-belgii Widely spread throughout road and rail embankments. Invasive non-native species © GBNNSS

19 Butterfly BushBuddleia davidii Huge cost for railway industry, and damages historic buildings. Invasive non-native species © GBNNSS

20 Harlequin LadybirdHarmonia axyridis Preys on native invertebrates, causing declines in our native ladybirds.. Invasive non-native species © Mike Majerus

21 Himalayan HoneysuckleLeycesteria formosa Invasive in native woodlands Invasive non-native species © GBNNSS

22 Japanese RoseRosa rugosa Invasive non-native species © GBNNSS Forms large thickets causing damage to natural habitat, and out-competing native species.

23 MontbretiaCrocosmia crocosmifolia A garden escape that has spread rapidly along roadside verges and woodland throughout Britain. Invasive non-native species © Trevor Renals

25 African Clawed FrogXenopus laevis Invasive non-native species © GBNNSS A vector for the chytrid fungus, implicated in serious amphibian population declines.

26 Slipper LimpetCrepidula fornicata Can reach densities of up to 1,700 per m, a pest on commercial oyster beds. Invasive non-native species © GBNNSS

27 Red-eared TerrapinTrachemys scripta Long-lived species, basks on nests of waterfowl causing desertion. Carries Salmonella. © GBNNSS Invasive non-native species

28 RaccoonProcyon lotor Escape from captivity has resulted in well-established populations in mainland Europe. © Niall Moore Invasive non-native species

29 Pacific OysterCrassostrea gigas Form reefs of razor sharp shells, impacting upon native species and making beaches inaccessible to the public. © GBNNSS Invasive non-native species

30 Monk ParakeetMyiopsitta monachus An agricultural pest, causes huge problems in U.S. by causing power black-outs.. © GBNNSS Invasive non-native species

31 Ring-necked ParakeetPsittacula krameri Competes for nesting sites with native hole-nesting bird species (e.g. nuthatch). © GBNNSS Invasive non-native species

32 Himalayan BalsamImpatiens glandulifera Germinates earlier and faster than native species, forming tall dense stands, causing a reduction in biodiversity. © GBNNSS Invasive non-native species

33 Parrot’s FeatherMyriophyllum aquaticum A common escapee from garden ponds, spreading by growth from small stem fragments. © GBNNSS Invasive non-native species
