On July 13th, we released beetles around the Sweetgrass First Nation area. These beetles were brought in order to try and reduce the spread of leafy spurge, an invasive plant. These beetles were put at the edges of the leafy spurge infestations so that they would work their way in and impede the spreading of the spurge. They will lay their eggs, and their larvae will eat the roots of the leafy spurge, effectively killing it. If these beetles get established, they will provide an effective and environmentally friendly way of controlling the spurge.
