“Convergent Evolution”

Some insects are as big as small birds.

“The hummingbird hawk-moth” is a species of hawk moth found across temperate regions of Eurasia. The species is named for its similarity to hummingbirds, as they feed on the nectar of tube-shaped flowers using their long proboscis while hovering in the air; this resemblance is an example of convergent evolution.

This flower is part of the flora and landscape reproduced by at the grounds of the British Museum by Kew gardens as an addition to the Garden and Cosmos exhibition

It’s two bodies one soul, while mating even in insects. The warmer season is breeding time and despite the stink in the name stink bug, they do release pheromones to attract mates.

Indian Sunbeam ( Curetis thetis )-Male .Family: Lycaenidae, Wasgamuwa National Park , Sri Lanka .

Scorpion’s entire body, from the stinging tail to the crushing pincers, collects UV light from the environment and convert it into blue-green wavelengths. These signals could even pass to the brain via clusters of nerves that are spread throughout the animal’s body. It means that a scorpion’s glow could increase the surface area of its eyes by a thousand times. The entire scorpion would effectively be one big eye.

Despite all round pollution of human origin, it’s pheromones mediated behaviour and physiological responses that keep the species carry on eating, sleeping and mating in accordance with nature’s cyclical and seasonal pattern.
