Salutations, BugFans,<\/p>\n

Ever since the BugLady started her \u201cBugs in the News\u201d sub-series, alert BugFans have been sending links to articles they\u2019ve come across. Thanks, BugFans! Alas, to view a few of these, you have to wade through some ad content.<\/p>\n

In Nature, the color blue can be a bit problematic \u2013 it tends to be produced by \u201cnanophysics\u201d rather than by pigments. Check out this article<\/a> for an explanation of that.<\/p>\n

Then, try this article about a dragonfly with blue wings.<\/a><\/p>\n

And this one about a blue and white moth that isn\u2019t extinct after all.<\/a><\/p>\n

And something for dinosaur fans.<\/a><\/p>\n

And a Road Trip!<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And another example of the impossibly intricate lives of ants.<\/a> (The BugLady has no idea what\u2019s going on in the ant photos she attached \u2013 ants were crawling on a recently-fallen tree that they apparently occupied part of.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And Bombardier Beetles, owners of the ultimate predator repellent, amaze us again<\/a> (there\u2019s an ad first, and a bit of clicking required). The BugLady is no herpetologist, but let\u2019s call a toad, a toad.<\/p>\n

And a mini-spider.<\/a><\/p>\n

And, conspiracy theorists \u2013 when you hear that buzz, you never know, it could be drones<\/a> or robots<\/a>!<\/p>\n

And, if you\u2019re interested in other things with wings, try this (after yet another ad), mostly in the daylight.<\/a> (You may have to hit refresh).<\/p>\n

All together now – Ain\u2019t Nature Grand!<\/p>\n
