But a new Cornell study reports that males and females flap their wings and change their tune to create a harmonic duet just before mating. http://www.huliq.com/11/75777/mosquitoes-create-harmonic-love-song-mating#comments Science Insects Mosquitoes Fri, 09 Jan 2009 07:56:39 -0600 harminka 75777 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75751/how-cheating-ants-give-themselves-away In ant society, workers normally give up reproducing themselves to care for their queen's offspring, who are their brothers and sisters. When workers try to cheat and have their own kids in the queen's presence, their peers swiftly attack and physically restrain them from reproducing. http://www.huliq.com/11/75751/how-cheating-ants-give-themselves-away#comments Science ants Insects Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:00:44 -0600 harminka 75751 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75692/reflection-human-structures-leads-creatures-peril Smooth, dark buildings, vehicles and even roads can be mistaken by insects and other creatures for water, according to a Michigan State University researcher, creating "ecological traps" that jeopardize animal populations and fragile ecosystems. http://www.huliq.com/11/75692/reflection-human-structures-leads-creatures-peril#comments Science animal populations ecosystems Insects Thu, 08 Jan 2009 03:17:26 -0600 harminka 75692 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/74890/honeybees-succumb-cocaines-allure Since its discovery in the 18th century, cocaine has been a scourge of western society. Strongly stimulating human reward centres in low doses, cocaine is extremely addictive and can be fatal in high doses. But this potent compound did not evolve to ensnare humans in addiction. http://www.huliq.com/11/74890/honeybees-succumb-cocaines-allure#comments Science cocaine Honeybees Insects Tue, 23 Dec 2008 04:45:38 -0600 harminka 74890 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/74889/honey-bees-cocaine-dance-more In a study that challenges current ideas about the insect brain, researchers have found that honey bees on cocaine tend to exaggerate. http://www.huliq.com/11/74889/honey-bees-cocaine-dance-more#comments Science honeybees Insects Tue, 23 Dec 2008 04:35:03 -0600 harminka 74889 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/13/72695/worlds-longest-insect-revealed The world's longest insect, a 56.7cm long stick-insect from Borneo, is revealed at the Natural History Museum today.

But scientists in Montana have found that through complex community interactions among deer mice, native plants and seeds, the presence of an introduced fly may exacerbate the effects of the invasive plant it was meant to control. http://www.huliq.com/11/67683/biocontrol-insect-exacerbates-invasive-weed#comments Science Insects Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:00:17 -0500 harminka 67683 at http://www.huliq.com
