Posted Sun Dec 9 2007: from Xinhua (China):
Scientists: More than 20 species alien to China invaded country in last decade http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1197213315
 "Wan Fanghao, an official with the ministry of agriculture, said some alien species have already caused disasters in the country. The American White Moth, native to North America and first detected in Northeast China's Liaoning Province in 1979, is threatening forests and crops in 116 counties of six provinces and municipalities in China including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and Liaoning, according to the State Forestry Administration (SFA). The moth denude a tree, and consume vegetables and crops in days. It boasts a strong reproduction ability. A female moth can lay some 2,000 eggs in one go, and can breed 30 million to 200 million descendants a year, according to biologists."
