 * Maybe something like, "... that Sericothrips staphylinus were released as part of biological control of gorse in New Zealand, but have not spread far because too few of them have wings?" (also need to be sure whether its ok to use that as a plural). --Demiurge1000 (talk) 10:57, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

 * You're right, I wasn't quite diligent enough in attributing the information to its specific sources. Is now fixed so far as I can see. (My, DYK's come a long way since my first one!) sonia ♫ 09:48, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
