According to the global biological defense network on October 8, scientists of the Max Planck Institute of evolutionary biology in Germany issued a document in the journal Science, questioning that the "insect alliance" project of the United States DARPA violated the biological weapons convention. The article points out that the United States needs to provide more explanations for the purpose of the project in peacetime, so as to avoid being regarded as a threat and hostility to other countries. The project uses insects to carry specific genetically engineered viruses to genetically modify crops to protect them from drought, natural diseases or biological weapons. German scientists suggest that the three insects used in the project, namely leaf cicada, white flies and aphids, may be used as biological weapons to attack crops. In addition, the release of horizontal environmental gene altering agents may have a far-reaching impact on the ecosystem and even the whole society.
