    Her cousin Ophraella communa has reached France quite recently. We count on her to get rid of the invader Ambrosia but we also pray that it won't move to sunflower or corn fields. Posted 4 months ago

      I hope it cooperates! Do you know if it was intentionally introduced as a method of biocontrol for the Ambrosia? Posted 4 months ago

    No I did not know, I know that it was first observed in Italy.
    I hope people who intentionally import this insect know what they do !     Posted 4 months ago
