And in capsule form, it's that pupae -- that's the immature form of the insect -- were irradiated until they were sterile, grown to adulthood and then released from planes all over the Southwest, the Southeast and down into Mexico and into Central America literally by the hundreds of millions from little airplanes, eventually eliminating that terrible insect pest for most of the Western Hemisphere.
Na fase capsular, as pupas (é dicir, a forma inmatura do insecto) foron radiadas ata volvelas estériles, creceron ata a adultez e logo foron liberadas dende avións por todo o Suroeste, o Sueste, ata México e América Central, centos de millóns dende avionetas, eliminando ao fin esta terrible praga en practicamente todo o hemisferio norte.
