The US Has a Plan to Combat Screwworm. It Involves a Lot More Flies

Releasing sterilized flies can crash a local population of flesh-eating screwworms. But the US currently has limited capacity to produce them.
The USDA this week confirmed the first known infection of the carnivorous fly larva, which feast on the flesh of living mammals, after the United States eradicated the nightmare bugs in the 1960s.
If confirmed, it would be the fly's first breach of the US-Mexico border.
