The government has introduced all kinds of, in their terms, "helpful" alien species. In the 1890's it was the European Starling and House Sparrow, later the Gypsy moth, then it was some type of fly to kill the larvae. Birds, fish, nothing eats them. Then Japanese Beetles, killed hundreds Sunday with Sevin on my Weeping Cheery. Plus countless others.
In some years driving along Rt 80 in Pa, there was nothing left on the tops of the trees for miles and miles.
