“Genetically engineered moths have been released into the wild to wipe out pests”

Perhaps Bolivian Tree Lizards can then be released into the wild to combat the Genetically engineered moths.

And then release genetically modified Komodo dragons to take care of the Bolivian Tree Lizards if they overpopulate. Where does this end?

Oh sure, it’s all fun and games until it jumps to humans, then we die off in 6 generations.

I wonder what ‘the Butterfly Effect’ will be when this comes to fruition.
