    Yep, brown marmorated stink bugs are stinky, but that’s not the worst thing about them. They're imported agricultural pests eating their way across North America. But a native enemy from Asia - the tiny samurai wasp - has a particularly nasty method of stopping stink bugs in their tracks.

    It looks rather harmless at first glance. With a speckled exterior and a shield-like shape, the brown marmorated stink bug doesn’t appear to be any different from any other six-legged insect that might pop up in your garden. But this particular bug, which arrived in the U.S. from Asia in the mid-1990s and smells like old socks when it is squashed, is a real nuisance. Not only can it invade homes by the thousands in the wintertime, it’s one formidable agricultural pest, eating millions of dollars of peaches, apples and other crops since 2010.
    Scientists are now investigating a new tactic in the war on the stink bugs: the possibility of relying on one of the bug’s natural enemies, the samurai wasp.
    Also native to Asia, this parasitic wasp keeps the stink bug population in check there. How?

    Reminds me of that Simpsons episode with the lizards:
    - But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
    - No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.
    - But aren't the snakes even worse?
    - Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
    - But then we're stuck with gorillas!
    - No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.
    I sincerely hope those researchers are being extra careful, history showed us how bad it was to release more exotic species in the wild to "control" another one. But if the wasps only go for the Stink Bugs I guess it's the best way to deal with that invasive species. Humans are still the source of all that shitshow.

    • @chitinskin9860
      @chitinskin9860 5 лет назад +18

      Never is a bit much. Many wasps are specially designed to hunt specific prey. It won't ever go beyond hunting stink bugs, and even then it would probably prefer the marmorated stinkbugs as that's what they naturally prey on. It should work solely due to wasp behavior, and the parasitoids are quite picky.
      But it could always go wrong, they could attack the wrong stink bugs, so everything is up to speculation until they are done testing them.

    • @hollywalker5656
      @hollywalker5656 5 лет назад +7

      I agree with Cryptomaster and entomologist have learned from the past where biological controls brought in from the past caused issues. Before they would ever release wasps these as part of a major pest management control campaign the insects have to be tested against all kinds of closely related stinkbug species to see if there is a chance they might jump host. Beneficial insect control species, like this wasp, that are being raised in laboratory settings have to show high selectivity for the pest host, so that they are very unlikely to move off and start attacking a beneficial or native species. These insects will be monitored and tested in quarantine labs for years before they can officially be released. But the good thing is that they already exist in nature on the west coast so that also gives scientist and idea of how they would behave in nature.

    Free range chickens under your fruit trees do a lot to help control stink bugs. I have a small orchard of apples and have seen a marked reduction in stink bugs in the areas where my hens range under the trees. Not enough to stop them cold, but with the wasps able to take 60% to 90% maybe it will be enough to stop them in the future without bee killing pesticides.

    I suspect there would be little downside to introducing the wasps. They are likely adapted prominently for dealing with stink bugs only. Looking at the adults their size is obviously constrained by the size of the stink bug eggs and there are probably a lot of subtle chemical cues specific to the species it targets. Still worth a good study though. It's always a good policy.

    • @thadofalltrades
      @thadofalltrades 5 лет назад +7

      The only concern would be if they adapt to target other types of insects once the stinkbugs are under control. Either most of their population will die off and remain balanced with the stink bugs or they will find an alternative food source.
