# Strijd tegen de coloradokever

Millions of Colorado potato beetles, probably from Belgium and France, are washing up on the Dutch coast. If this insect gets the chance, it causes enormous damage to agricultural and horticultural crops. SHOTS: - Cu's devouring beetles and larvae; - A field with a rich plantation of potatoes turns into a bare wasteland; - On the beaches, schoolchildren help to track and collect the beetles; - A man pastes a poster calling for control; - In the countryside, crops are sprayed, including by a Sikorsky S-51 helicopter.

Not offered: its uploader or archive marks it public domain, and nothing the site holds bears that out (its record gives no year, or a year from 1978 on, which no US term has left), so where it is free is not known. Unclear is not offered.
