« Teddy Bear-Shaped Deli Meats | Main | Is that really why Lex Luthor is a bad guy? » Solar-powered HornetsAccording to this article, wasps are usually more active in the morning. Not the Oriental hornets, though. They're more active in the middle of the day. ...[T]he late Professor Jacob S Ishay, proposed that the insects may somehow be capable of harvesting solar radiation. So, the question is why did these particular hornets evolve to have this trait? The article mentions how this might aid them in their "energy demanding digging activity" for their underground nests. They can't be the only type of wasp that digs underground. Do they have to come up every couple of minutes to replenish their lost reserves? Where can i get some solar harvesting cuticles? Did Lex Luthor genetically engineer them? I need answers. By min | December 9, 2010, 11:01 AM | Science |
