Dung Beetle Release Debated For Fly Control In Australia

Trials in Canberra and Black Mountain tested oil transmission and climate adaptability, with initial releases near 1,000 specimens and plans for batch liberations as tests continue. The project aims to reduce fly breeding by moving beetles to warmer climates and possibly extending to India and other regions.
