that is good to hear. I knew there was research going on but had not heard about release next Spring!

I wish that where they will be releasing was clearer in the article.

It does appear as though there will be releases within the US, Canada and Mexico.

It appears some of the wasps they were studying somehow already colonized parts of North America recently. If there’s an abundance of prey then someone’s going to take advantage of it eventually. They need to hurry up and get blown in my direction.
