If not, that is on the grounds that it hasn't happened yet, but rather it is a story worth telling.
In the coming weeks, Parks Australia will discharge a 2mm wasp on Christmas Island to control the island's yellow insane insect pervasion. Insane ants are a major risk to the island's natural life, including its celebrated red crabs.
