Attack of the killer moths

This story is making the rounds. After five years of poisoning the Amazon water basin with herbicide has failed to stem the cultivation of coca, the "brilliant" minds of the prohibition have come up with a new proposal. Release a plague of caterpillars.

Critics of the plan point out the obvious - the high probability of ecological disaster if the moths decide they like some of the other plants in the most diverse ecosphere on the planet, better. It ranks right up there with the "genius" who proposed to unleash a dangerous fungus in the area.

I guess in the long run it might work though. If they destroy the lungs of our planet in their quest contain coca, there won't be anyone left alive to use the drugs.
