Wouldn’t the bugs just eat all the crops then? I mean, sure they can just import their potatoes from eg Egypt, but guess what, those potatoes will be sprayed against the Colorado potato beetle, because without that the crop has no chance at all.

Seems it's much better than spraying insecticides that end up everywhere.
