Mother Nature is missing out

I planted some more things in the garden, and cut the boulevard grass today. As I was doing so, this thought came to mind: "Why isn't there a bug specifically eating dandelions?"

I think Mother Nature is missing out here by not having something - anything - eating dandelions. There's a great surplus of the plants - at least around my yard, so said bug - or mammal, or marsupial, I'm really pretty open here, would have no shortage of food.

So, I say forget genetically modifying wheat or corn or whatever. Let's genetically engineer a dandelion eater. That's what the world needs now.

Or my little bit of the world anyway.
