What are the natural predators of the hornets? Introduce them in droves into the USA, that surely would turn out perfect.

Giant Asian hornets ‘ave been spotted in extreme north-western Washington state.

People be scared, apparently, ‘cause they big and have a particularly potent sting, and they will destroy beehives in a matter of hours to get to the goodies on the inside, and unless someone happens to like Japanese honeybees, this will more than likely devastate the bee population as a result.
Well this is one species that deserves to die. Bees are good and useful. Giant Asian Hornets are Satan incarnate. Do any other species specifically depend on them?

Hey LordBaal, did you know that some random American private security company tried to overthrow your nation's government?

Ended up being some underequipped guys in a boat who expected to go all Contra on the nation.

Funny how Americans in particular have such a strangely rich history of this sort of thing happening.

The whole thing smells like shit, the whole history doesnt match at all and most people says its simply yet another smokescreen, bread and circus, minus the bread.

Apparently their boss has claimed responsibility? Didn't say who paid for it tho. *Shrug*

correct, Cane toads aren;t specialized enough, what we need is a parasite that requires the hornet for its larvae to grow, possibly a fly species, thus, only the targeted species of hornet is affected, as parasites tend to only be able to grow in specific hosts

I love the idea that the news was talking about introducing a bacterium to mosquitoes to prevent the spread of malaria.

We're actually on the cusp of engineering bacteria for release into the wilds.  And it will turn out just fine.....

Introduce a bacterium to mosquitoes? To what, kill them all off?

That would be ill-advised, even discounting the proposed method. Also likely impossible.

I got it, we could engineer wasp AIDS. What could possibly go wrong?

The bacterium I think is for either reducing the mosquito numbers or make them unable to carry malaria.

The news blurb states that it 'prevents the mosquitoes from carrying the malaria disease', without going into how exactly.

Went shopping. Forgot my debit card PIN since it's been too long since I used it in a store, but that's minor since I still have my credit card. Came out, my mom decided to drive past a large gathering in the parking lot. Thinking they were celebrating something, she began to honk and cheer. It was a funeral. Luckily, I noticed this before she started honk, and informed her of this after.

Oh, and my sister is now anti-Trump because apparently he's been working with Bill Gates who is responsible for the coronavirus outbreak.

Some people wonder why I spend most of my time in my room.

Aren't they working together with Cuomo to destroy the school system in NY as a pilot project to destroy the rest of the public school system?
