I dunno, but it seems kind of extreme, not to mention risky, to bio-engineer a mass mosquito die-off. So Steve Paulson tracked down the world’s greatest living entomologist to see what he has to say.

You’d assume that Wilson would be happy to let mosquitos live in that half… but that’s not what he told Steve.
