dew and the rain tend it not.

The mimosa tree evolved in East Asia, where the
beetle Bruchidius terrenus preys on its seeds. In 1785,
mimosa trees were introduced to North America, far

predators and their prey can persist across centuries
and continents. Around 2001, B. terrenus was
introduced in southeastern North America near
where botanist Shu-Mei Chang and colleagues had
been monitoring mimosa trees. Within a year,
93 percent of the trees had been attacked by the
beetles.

B. terrenus.
