But they can breed and there are cases of fertile female mules, right?
As to the silliness (IMO) of the OP I'll address it as it appears to have many upset.
There are over a million species of insect. The fact that folks would waste time and money closely tracking wasps that prey on different variety of fruit flies (maggots) and suggest they "could" be diverging into different species simply because they choose to prey on different types of fruit flies and the abstract of the paper they write http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2015/10/20/1424717112.abstract contains "woulds, coulds, mights..." took 7 scientists to come to this conclusion to me is funny. These new species could simply be a result of hybrid speciation (2 different species breeding to form a "new species".
I get that some are geeked up about such things; however, I am not one of them. perhaps I'm too "dull".

Not another gullible one that believes something simply because someone said so. Thought we were "better" than that.
Guess not.

People whine about others "making it personal" constantly, all while continuing to make shit personal themselves. No one is able to handle the exact attitude that they always deal out.
People getting all pissy that someone is "stalking" them on a public forum where all information is.......public information that they put out there themselves.
Continual threats of leaving the forum forever to get attention. Multiple troll accounts from formerly respected members. Nonstop derailing of topics to call out other posters. Etc..
Shit's weak.
This is the biggest problem. No one has the balls to put their name on the crap they post. I have no issue with anyone being an ahole here just be willing to put your name on it.
The only reason you make multiple accounts is because you are ashamed of what you are going to post. Which begs the question .... Why not have the balls to put your name on it .... Unless your goal is to derail and cause problems.

You know what? You're right. That was petty of me. I should not take rumors and re-state them as fact. I apologize.

By humans. Horses and donkeys are closely related enough that the sperm and egg will be viable together. But the two species are put together to breed by humans. Cats and rabbits are not closely related enough. The sperm cannot fertilize the egg. Mules were bred to produce a strong working beast of burden. Nobody is producing any cabbits.

Hybrid speciation requires two different species to start with. That did not happen in this study. They isolated a single species and it evolved into two different species.

If that's a revelation to you, no wonder you are so confused by evolution.

I think he took it on faith that it was true. (If he didn't take it on faith without any proof he would be closed minded, right?)

This is the first time, evar, that I'm going to give you credit for some first rate trolling. Well done.
