Apparently in Indonesia there is a problem with a parasite known as the "yellow crazy ant" (you can't make names like that up) that is non-native and killing off other ants that are good for cocoa plants. So a research team has discovered that a certain breed of local toad, that loves eating these ants, is the best answer to making sure cocoa crops stay healthy. Nature is just so strange and wonderful all at the same time.
