Two of the World's Most Destructive Crop Pests Have Hybridized to Form a "Mega-Pest" - Neatorama

Image: CSIRO

Scientists at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) have reported a disturbing finding: two of the world's major crop pests have combined or hybridized into a new "mega-pest".

The first species is the cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), which is widespread in Africa, Asia and Europe and causes damage to over 100 kinds of crops. The second is the corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea), which is commonly found in the Americas. The new hybrid has potentially unlimited geographical boundaries.

There have been papers written about Internet Culture, but I have yet to see a serious paper on /b/tard memes such as Over 9,000 and Mudkips

Hypnotoad is now a meme? I think I no longer know what constitutes a meme.

@poppedculture: I think 95% of this image is actually better considered 'pop culture references' as opposed to 'meme'. In fact, I'm not sure I saw -anything- in there which I'd classify as a meme - well, ceiling cat is part of the lolcat meme, and pedobear is... well, not really a meme, honestly.
