Humans have been using the Sterile Insect Technique for about 70 years, apparently it works.
The non-GM method is to breed insects, clumsily divide them by sex, and blast them with radiation to sterilise the majority before releasing swarms of randomly mutated insects into the wild.
Which method do you think is more likely to produce Skeetera?

I’m betting it’s the radiation.
