If they can do it, you can...had you lived that long! ;-)

Thriving in dirt, cockroaches can help save human lives with their brains (well...the chemicals in their brains that is ;-))

Sorry, Xineann, but I simply have to call this gorgeous creature - a bug! ;-)

Stop Buggin' Me



Yes, it is official. I have captured some bugs - incorporated them in my corps (I'm not yet dead, though...). People of the internets - I've got a cold! And I hate it.

I still love bugs! :-)






Ps. A cold is caused by virus, not really bugs like on this image. But it sure feels like bugs are crawling in my throat and nose...;-)

Poor Ladybugs have to carry wasp larvae with them. But, they get to survive after the wasp is "processes". :-)

Physics of Bugs

Dragonfly



Stop-action dragonfly flight. The photographs on top show pairs of mirror-view images of a tethered dragonfly (Libellula pulchella) during one period of hovering motion. The colorful bottom images display calculated air flows at four representative times in the dragonfly's wing-stroke cycle. In these simulations the dragonfly's body is horizontal and its head is to the right. White lines indicate cross sections of the fore and hind wings, which are separated by about 1 cm. Red areas indicate counterclockwise swirling, blue represents clockwise motion.

Dragonfly

If we were discussing bugs back in the days, the prehistoric days that is, I admit we could hardly call this beautiful insect a bug - or a critter for that matter.



Meganeura--a prehistoric dragonfly

Back in the prehistoric (Carboniferous Era) days you could encounter dragonflies with two-foot wingspan!


So, as much as I hate to differ on this matter, I must however most respectfully reject the lessons provided by Xineann. In an astronomical perspective, todays dragonflies are simply small BUGS!
