I wonder if decades from now, we will look at this post happily or angrily should the non-native insect evolve over time to become a pest to native plants once it depletes the air potato populations that sustain them. The success of any organism depends on it's evolutionary resourcefulness and flexibility to it's surroundings. For our sake, I hope for the former so we do not lament in hindsight for releasing yet another non-native into the wild.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
