yeah that's nasty stuff and shouldn't be in the wild. I do wonder what they mean by "They're (Australian scientists) looking at using the cochineal, a bug, to control the coral cactus but they are still working on whether they can release that,". doesn't cochineal bug = mealy bug? God knows that nasty pest is already in the wild and a menace to all plants. hope their control goes better than that calici rabbit virus they lost control of. Can you imaging what a super-mealy bug would do...
