Relatively recently, our country has discovered a type of vegetable like avocado. Many immediately liked it, some tasted it only after they met him in a cafe or restaurant, but they do not plan to cook on their own. The whole world loves avocados. But now the countries where the vegetable grows are in real disaster.
Bug detection
When you read this article, I’m sure that many will just take a contemptuous sigh, they say, so what, some kind of bug. Treated with chemicals - and that’s it. When I told this information to my grandmother, her reaction was just that. And with the story that we, the youth, do not even know what a real pest beetle is. For a long time I could not understand what kind of pest she had in mind, but then I suddenly realized. Grandmother had in mind the good old Colorado potato beetle, which loves to spoil potatoes. And some distant avocado beetle there does not cause her concern. But, you know, no matter how.
Agriculture
At first I tried to explain to my grandmother that avocados for countries and nationalities that live on the neighboring continent have the same meaning as potatoes for us. Avocados are grown, cultivated, make various breeding changes to get more quality crop. The welfare of the country depends on this, because avocados are an important product that countries export. And if disaster strikes, it can turn into a decline and a significant subsidence of the economy. I put it in economic terms, because the economist herself. When I explained this, my grandmother thought about it and began to worry, asking me a lot of questions. So by chance I suddenly got a problem of an international scale from the usual simple news. She herself was surprised.

Beetle Invasion
An invasive beetle was first discovered in the Hawaiian Islands. Studies then showed that they infected several more states whose main crop is avocados. Lace beetle almost does not spoil the fruits themselves, but is a serious threat to the plant. Attacking a whole flock, insects suck out all the nutrients from the plant, from the trunk and leaves. When there is nothing left to take from a tree, they move to another. Very similar to the Colorado potato beetle, isn't it? Adult pests are completely black, but the color of young individuals varies from brown to red.
