Am I the only one that thinks this sounds like it is right out of a disaster/horror movie?

I mean, what can go wrong when you mess with Mother Nature? Right?

Thousands of male mosquitoes were released in South Miami’s Brewer Park Thursday.
The mosquitoes were left incapable of impregnating females, after being infused with a Wolbachia bacteria.
The plan is over six months to release six million of the bugs that don’t bite, but have a healthy sex drive, and will mate with females whose eggs won’t hatch.
“We would expect to see the mosquito population decline,” said Dr. William Petrie, Miami’s director of mosquito control. “If it works really successfully, the population will crash.”
 
love that part in that last phrase "if it works....."
 
I was going to say remember the lovebug? I grew up hearing they were created in a lab to eat mosquitos and ended up escaping and becoming a cars paint job worst nightmare. Anyways, that was early fake news. Just one of those urban legends that spread for years and years. They were a natural South American species that spread up to the southern states.
Guess I’m back to the drawing board for another example....
