Re “Latest pest-control attempt: Turn fire ants into zombies,” May 16
A fly that injects the fire ant with eggs -- then the larvae destroy the ant’s brain -- is being released by Texas agriculture officials. Has anyone thought about where this foreign fly will be laying eggs once the fire ants are all gone -- or even sooner? Then what? This fly is the most terrifying insect I can think of.
