Yeah I noticed a lot of the bugs seem familiar. I've googled a few and often they actually originate from here and carry over the world, sometimes vice versa. Globalisation, eh?
It's hard to even kill bamboo since it just shoots up from connected root systems underground kinda like mint! Pretty fun/scary
I read that there are 1.4 billion insects per human.
I've got a friend of mine that planted bamboo on the side of his hard to give him some privacy and the stuff took over. In the matter of a few years the stuff was so thick it was impossible to get through the stuff. It started to encroach on his neighbor's property and he had to remove it which was almost impossible.
