I watched this premise work against the screwworm fly back in the middle 1960's along the Texas-Mexican Border. It was highly successful. Screwworms used to be a major problem and now there are thousands of veterinarians that have never seen one.

"sterilize the male mosquitoes"......
Wouldn't it just be easier, and more cost efficient, to just smash the male ones?

I'm just wonderin'....
do 'wild female' mosquitoes get turned 'on' by males with glowing genataila?
Will the 'wild females' say that it's not the size that is important but the how it "glows-as-it-goes"?
Won't word get out to all the hot 'wild females' that the glowers are all show and not produce??
