  Bug Girl's Blog — Authority: 114
  Google Books has given me a late present–many past issues of WWN are now online! Readers of WWN (via the grocery checkout isle, anyway) will remember that they often feature amazingly badly pasted together stories about giant insects!

• Do bats REALLY eat mosquitoes?

  
  Cheshire — Authority: 116
  One of the debates a lot of entomologists have is whether bats actually have an impact on mosquito populations. Sure, we hear all the time that bats eat mosquitoes, but there are good reasons to doubt this. I’ve had this discussion with instructors before and there’s really no consensus. We know bats ...

• Preventing release of alarm pheromones increases homosexual pairing in bed bugs.

  
  Cheshire — Authority: 116
  I really don’t think it’s possible to write a boring post on bed bugs. The way in which they reproduce is simply one of the most bizzarre…and brutal…methods of insemination in the animal kingdom.
