Remember the lovebug! It used to be confined to central american until soil samples and some plants were brought to Texas were they became very 'popular' and then sod carried to other states so much that we get to the point we are today where the lovebug is everywhere in the south.

Oh, that has disaster written all over it.  Here in Wisconsin, the DNR or Dept of Ag (not sure which) introduced asian beetles (look like lady bugs) to control some aphid that goes after soybeans.  Of course, the beetle has no natural enemies and now we are infested.

You'd think at some point they would learn.  Boneheads.
