North American introduction
A. certus has been found in North America since 2005, and was likely introduced along with or soon after the soybean aphid.[3]
A. certus is likely to parasitize both native and introduced aphids in North America as it has a relatively wide host-range.[2]
gollark: It's internally generated and happens to involve another server. Merely stop branding it as the "next round".
gollark: You should brand it as "a next round" or a "replacement event".
gollark: The new one is done somewhat against the intentions of the original owner, who is also running an event, and cannot reasonably be exclusively considered the "next round".
gollark: You realize that things don't cease to exist because you refuse to acknowledge them, right?
