Thank you for the kind words Tracy

Thanks for making that clear.  Why did the folk bring the Killer bees to
South America in the first place.  Did it have anything to do with genes?
You seem to know the whole story Tracy why did they import them to start
with. I think it was because they were interested in their genes.    I was
using the killer bee to show how fast one can change  the genes of the
natural insect in nature using another natural insect.  I was not saying
that the killer bee was lab made.I hope I don't hear a lab made insect story
that bad but I see how easy it could happen. The Killer bee is a good
example for most folks to see how breeding works and I do not know what
insects made in the lab will do to the natural insects on earth but don't
really want to find out.  Men do not know  all there is to know about genes
except maybe Tracy. I don't know much but that never stop me before from
starting a chat.  They are releasing lab made plants,viruses,insects etc..
now in this time of our lives.  Now is a good time to talk about it because
they are releasing them for the 1st. time and it would be easier to close
the barn door now before the insects get out.  Look at the Killer bee !
These men  may have been thinking they were helping mankind and are probably
good folks but from all the arguments I have heard so far, I don't think
folks need to make bugs in labs mixing up the genes when we have so many
good bugs now just waiting to be researched. I hate seeing that money wasted
when folks researching natural insects get so little for such an important
project. And I really do not think making a bug that can take more
insecticide is a worthy project and that money could be better spent .
