Episode Details

A new bug-breeding facility in Samford, Australia, is combating invasive weeds like cats claw creeper and madeira vine, which are choking South East Queenslands bush and waterways. The Pine Rivers Catchment Association is mass-producing beetles and bugs, such as jewel beetles and tingid bugs, to target these weeds. Volunteers from the Samford Mens Shed have built custom bug dorms to boost breeding success. Once released, these bugs will help restore balance to the ecosystem by slowing the weeds spread, without relying on heavy chemicals or machines.
