// Notable Quotes
“Spider mites -- they were the world record holder for the smallest genome for any animal. About 90 megabase pairs. Despite having so little genes, they've got 1,000-plus host species.”— Matthew (Sync Angel)
“Budworms have been shown to resist things like DDT. They hybridize with other closely related species, causing selection pressure.”— Matthew (Sync Angel)
“One year we intercropped carrots along some autoflowers and I'd never seen so many ladybugs. The larvae migrated over to the cannabis and were more effective at controlling aphids than even the lacewing larvae.”— Russ (Cha Education)
