How come they haven’t wafted over here before now?

This sort of reminds me of the parasitic wasps & their grisly takeover of living caterpillars.

“with the latter being not only a threat to crops, but a threat that currently enjoys free reign without natural predators in many parts of the US.”
Yeah, those Fentanyl users are allowed to do whatever. My wife and I refer to Fentanyl users as stinkbugs because they both walk around with their buts in the air.

the Jorō spider mostly preys on flies, mosquitos and stink bugs — with the latter being not only a threat to crops, but a threat that currently enjoys free reign without natural predators in many parts of the US. I am most certainly not a fan of invasives, but I'm trying to see the downside of this one.

Qiviut; Wasps can be our garden friends. (And some fungus can be our food!)
Trichogramma Parasitoids;
Just a tiny lil thing! Here laying their eggs on a Moth Egg.
Here on the egg of a Corn borer:
Tomato hornworm parasitized by Braconid wasp:
Then there is this:
cordyceps-mushrooms

It shouldn't have to take so long for someone to post a picture of it:

I like finding parasitized hornworms. I know the wasps will hatch & patrol my tomatoes. I also have found using a black light works well for spotting hornworms at night (plus the garden looks spooky cool!).

Ah yes. Foreign species are not good for a country. They will take over the native population and destroy the natural order of things. I believe that is why at the border they ask you if you are bringing in any fruits, vegetables, or plants. As long as you are carrying illegal and foreign people, then the rules do not apply. Carry on.

Cordyceps are very interesting, but I think I will stick with herbs for the time being! :-)
