Greetings, BugFans,<\/p>\n

The BugLady\u2019s file of insect-related media stories runneth over, and it\u2019s time to share. Here\u2019s a potpourri of items on invasive insect species, insect behavior, spectacular insects, and on people discovering new things about insects. Enjoy (fingers crossed that NatGeo and the New York Times aren\u2019t feeling too proprietary).<\/p>\n

Six years ago, the BugLady wrote about the (slowly) growing interest in eating insects<\/a>. What\u2019s sauce for the goose is apparently sauce for the family pet<\/a> <\/i>.<\/p>\n

What do Monarch caterpillars do when food gets scarce? They get feisty, that\u2019s what<\/a> <\/i>.<\/p>\n

In 2011, the BugLady included the alien and invasive (remember \u2013 some species are both, but those terms are not synonyms) Brown marmorated stink bug in a Stink bug overview<\/a> and she plans to revisit it someday. Meanwhile, here\u2019s a story of a potential biological control<\/a> <\/i>.<\/p>\n

Another invasive, the newly-arrived (2014) Spotted lanternfly, is poised to do a lot of damage in North America. While it may look like a butterfly<\/a> <\/i>, the Spotted Lanternfly is an actual \u201cbug,\u201d \u2013 a planthopper<\/a> <\/i>.<\/p>\n

Would a \u201cBugs in the News\u201d episode be complete without the Murder Hornet<\/a> <\/i>?<\/p>\n

Beautiful!!!! <\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

Plus a great story about Leaf\/stick insects<\/a> <\/i>.<\/p>\n

And finally \u2013 this is one of the BEST VIDEOS EVER.<\/p>\n

Stay healthy,
\nThe BugLady<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
