Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / What's the difference between hibernation and aestivation?
« on: 21/10/2008 20:37:06 »
When some frogs hibernate/ oestivate (the jury's still out on this one) they secrete a thin slimey bag around the body, which they eat on waking- grotesque to watch but fascinating! Apparently it provides essential nutrients to the waking frog. I prefer cornflakes myself.

Thankyou Evie- I have never seen my cat vomit after eating the pondweed. In fact, I've never witnessed it vomiting at all- maybe it's bunged up with pondweed!

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / What could this creature be?
« on: 01/08/2008 18:29:06 »
On second thoughts it does look more like a caterpillar than a beetle larva, and it seems to have a spike on its rear like your pic of the hawkmoth caterpillar. It could be an elephant hawkmoth caterpillar.......?

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Do intelligent design ideas make you wince?
« on: 01/08/2008 14:49:31 »
When teaching, I used to regularly say how things were 'designed' in nature for instance- I wince myself if I say that now, in case it sounds like I believe in intelligent design!

My Auntie had the same reaction to thunder as some of your dogs.....she would dive under the nearest table and refuse to come out until the storm had passed. Trouble was she was a midwife.......
