I have this odd kind of admiration for the truly terrible invasive species. "Invasives" turn all of the things that make human activities hostile to nature into their advantages. There is something delightfully subversive about it.

Although, I still study them in hopes of protecting the wild diversity that they can destroy. When you dig into some of the things they have done to be successful a little awe is only natural.

@futurebird I agree, Brown Marmorated stinkbugs and asiatic bittersweet are awful, but one has to admire their tenacity

I kind of hope if I can really understand them I might stand a better chance of finding a way to ... negotiate a truce.
