If I understand the article, it seems they are destructive because they quickly eat the decaying leaves on the forest floor that otherwise play a role in the way certain trees grow. I'm curious if their eating abilities could be harnessed somewhere, like in composting facilities, to break down organic matter faster. Even if it's bad on the forest floor, seems like there would be a demand somewhere.
