More interesting was the 1989 case of the Breeders, a previously unknown group that threatened to spread Medfly through California if aerial spraying of pesticides continued in the state. The Medfly infestation in California at that time was unusually large and had a number of characteristics that led investigators to conclude a deliberate infestation was being conducted. No one was ever caught for promoting the spread of the Medfly, however.
