It's always something! We already have had big problems
with pine bark beetles (especially Ringo! :-) ), but this could
potentially be really tough on one of Louisiana's major
agricultural crops. A lot of jobs here come from those vast pine
forests. At least there appears to be a known antidote, which
means people who live near the forests will get a new chemical to
breathe from the crop dusters.

It seems there may have been some pine killing woodwasps imported
to New York that could kill pines across the country if they
spread.
What does Dr. Nina have to say on the subject? Are we all
doomed?
