Rhinocyllus conicus

Among the best plants for vermin viewing are the thistles.   Yes.  Many insects love thistles.  So if you want to have a lot of fun or pleasure watching insects, get some thistles. 

But there are plenty of hard-working assholes.   What are all these assholes working towards?   Easy that, these multitudes of assholes are working hard to render the globe, that many call Earth, ecologically inert.  As a part or parcel of their sinister plan they first introduce bunches or mass quantities of Asian thistles to the US.  Then they introduce insects to eat the introduced thistles.   Then the insects, naturally,  switch hosts and afflict the native thistles instead of the introduced thistles.  Mercy!  All due to assholes masquerading as scientists.
