Rare creepy pest never seen in US found in fresh fruit shipment

I may not agree with your decision, being a Yankee who emigrated to Germany (though back in the USA to visit my parents and writing this now because jet lag has me waking so early), I do sympathize with your feelings. It’s why I still work with Democrats Abroad, and look to do what I can where I live.

This little beetle is yet another canary in the coal mine, so to speak. There are so many things that can be done to help turn away, but they aren’t being considered at all, little things like solar roofing, or making things pedestrian and bicycle friendly. Actually cutting back consumption instead of sacrificing everything to growth.

So yeah. Bugs are on the move. We need to step up our efforts to change things.
