The Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), also known as the Colorado beetle is a major pest of potato crops. It is about 10 mm long, with a bright yellow/orange body and five bold brown stripes along the length of each of its elytra. Native to the Rocky Mountains, it spread rapidly in potato crops across America and then Europe from 1859 onwards.
Official narrative
Neither Britain nor the United States have ever researched the use of Colorado beetles as a biological weapon. Nazi Germany researched it.
Biological weapon
During the invasion of France in 1940, German forces captured a French biological research facility and found plans to use potato beetles against Germany.[1]
In 1950, East Germany claimed foreign planes dumped Colorado beetles over crops, with the intent of immiserating the populations of these countries and causing famines.
