Do you have any evidence to support this conspiracy theory? I thought
that the butterflies were picked because their habitat was closest to
the fields where the BT pesticide plants would be deployed. It makes
sense that the closest insects (besides the pests in the fields that we
want to kill) would be the ones to study.
