- Observation Insects associated with Iris pseudacorus at the surveyed sites were mostly incidental visitors and polyphagous feeders, apart from the sawfly, seed weevil and flea beetle named.
- Observation A population of the candidate biocontrol insect was imported to quarantine in South Africa and is undergoing host-specificity testing.
- Recommendation The prospects for biological control of Iris pseudacorus appear promising.
