It’s a bug thing. My entomological journey from scratch. The start of my entomological journey. I guess the first place for me to start would be the naming or scientific conventions used in entomology, namely the ‘Scientific Classification System’. It’s doesn’t exactly rank high in my interest level, but I guess it’s a foundation to base all my future routes on my entomological journey. Article seems like the appropriate starting point.

It’s a bug thing. My entomological journey from scratch. I have always been interested in entomology (the study of insects) from a young age. I cannot pinpoint the exact event that spurred this on, but I seem to think that it was either watching a television programme or reading an article in National Geographic. As a young boy. I think I saw/read about an entomologist discovering a new insect in some far off remote uncharted jungle somewhere. It’s the outdoor explorer image that stuck in my mind. Aphids...

Attaches head to body can be various shapes, such as rectangular or hexagonal. Usually comprises porose areas like eyes. Body of tick or mites.

Aphids make ‘chemical weapons’ to fight off killer ladybirds | It's a bug thing
https://entomology.wordpress.com/2007/07/11/aphids-make-chemical-weapons-to-fight-off-killer-ladybirds
It’s a bug thing. My entomological journey from scratch. Aphids make ‘chemical weapons’ to fight off killer ladybirds. I stumbled across the results of research from Imperial College, London, UK. Aphids pick up glucosinolates from consumed plants in their blood which when mixed with an enzyme called myrosinase, which is stored in the muscles, a violent chemical reaction occurs which releases mustard oil. This release of mustard oil kills, injures or repels predators. This entry was posted in aphids.
