Florida Record
E. subparallelus was first reported in Florida from light traps set to monitor for mosquitoes in the Florida Keys in 2007.[1] E. subparallelus may prey upon mosquito adults or larvae, although it has never been reported to do so.[1] One Tunisian species of Ploiaria has been proposed as a biocontrol agent for Phlebotomus sand flies and mosquitoes.[2]
gollark: Yep!
gollark: It would make hypothetical authentication hypothetically more complicated.
gollark: That is not planned, apart from an "export as HTML page" feature.
gollark: Well, I meant features specific to the editor, but general ones are fine too.Anyway, that is planned, although it may just be HTTP basic auth or something.
gollark: Google Docs doesn't support Markdown I think, although I *could* embed it, use its HTML export feature programmatically somehow, and then convert HTML to CommonMark.
