If you'd like to see how drinking water and native species in Missouri could perish, you need to look in moss balls based on a new warning from the state.
It's happened again. The Missouri Department of Conservation has confirmed yet another invasive snakehead has been caught and this unwelcome invader can survive on the land, too.
There are certain warning signs of Spring that you might have trouble. One is to see a tree in Missouri that is oozing sap. That could be a sign that a vicious invasive insect is present and causing issues for the ecosystem that could have bad consequences for much more than just the trees in your neighborhood.
I consider myself a natural-born skeptic and a new scientific paper won't be changing that outlook anytime soon. It makes a wild claim that feral hogs are actually good for Missouri.
Well, it's happened yet again. An invasive fish that has been called a 'river monster' because of what it can do to native fish in Missouri has been found in the Show Me State again and this time in a completely different area. This fish can even survive slithering on land.
My dad used to tell me not to worry about tomorrow because today has enough worries. This issue is not a today thing, but boy could it become a conversation in the future. It's a mammoth invasive spider that is spreading like wildfire in the direction of Missouri, but there's not really a reason to worry even when/if it arrives.
I am normally a live and let live type of person. However, in this case I'll make an exception. There is an evil invasive worm in Missouri and if you see it, you really should kill it immediately and that's not an overreaction.
