Chapter 10: We see examples of successes and failures of "it takes an invasive species to catch an invasive species" in Chapter 10. Various beetles and weevils have helped control the spread of purple loosestrife in North America. Seen as a failure, the wolfsnail has preyed upon colorful native snails of Hawaii rather than hunting the invasive giant African snail. What are your thoughts on this invasive vs. invasive strategy?
