Cactus Pear Controversy[edit]

There is a section, Controverse Opuntia, (cactus pear controversy) in the Wikipédia entry on Henri Perrier de La Bâthie that should be worth a mention here. Apparently he introduced a predatory insect, the cochineal, to Madagascar that caused significant damage. ☺ Dick Kimball (talk) 18:23, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
