I would be interested to know what such a large colony could feed on. And of course as a recent introuduction, there has not been the chance for natural enemies to develop or be introduced. They might also be very susceptible to BT.

Dear Max: One thing that I had no way of anticipating is that your local control people are "fanatical" about protecting local species, to the point they apparently are insufficiently concerned about people. We have treehuggers here, but not that bad. Use of poison might kill many other species in immediate area, but they could be easily re-established after wasp extermination ended.

Fellas!...Fellas!...Fellas!

O how I love it when Dr. Bill and Max get into a tussle! This is almost better than the one we had going down on Greek Mythology a while back! "Heyyyyy, get'chore front row seats, here! Just fifty dollars! Twenty-five dollars for the mezzanine! First come, first serve! Heyyyy, get'chore....."

Don't forget my cut, tyvm.

A percentage, Max? Excuse me?...did we, uh, negotiate a percentage? "Heyyy, first come, first serve! Get 'em while they're hot! We got cheap seats, we got neat seats!..."

Another assertion made from thousands of kilometres away with no knowledge of local circumstances, unless of course you are an expert

You're right, Max: only those living in New Zealand are knowledgeable enough to critique what occurs there. In this New Zealand is of course unlike US politics or the Middle East, on which everyone has sufficient expertise to opine.
