I have seen the effectiveness of Laricobius nigrinis. Knowing that Scymnus coniferarium is its warm weather counterpart and that it is also complimentary with regards to Hemlock enviroments has me convinced that we must introduce it as soon as possible if we have any hope of saving our hemlocks. Given Scymnus coniferarium's performance out west it is clear that this is a dynamic and safe move . Please take positive and imediate action to add this critical weapon to our arsenal. We need every tool we can muster in our efforts preserve this criical keystone species!
