And if you go further in the video you will hear Denis say that it is not 
Varroa destructor (VD) but V. jacobsoni (VJ) and he proves it back in the 
lab.  It was logical that when Denis first saw it he thought that it was VD 
but he had doubts in the field, as in the video where he thought it was now 
VJ, and then he proved it in the lab.  This incident has been well reported 
world wide and I have personally discussed this find with Denis and where we 
go from here and the implications for Australia.  So VD is still not in PNG 
as far as we know.
