QuoteNow, scientists have discovered that at least three species of hawkmoths also produce ultrasonic sound in response to bat calls. But unlike their distantly related cousins, these moths produce the ultrasound using their genitals.

I blame Kai.

QuoteTo determine how long a person has been dead, insect specialists collect flies found swarming in and around corpses, determine the fly species and its age. "From how old it is, you can then work backward and say, 'okay, the body had to have been here a minimum of this time,'" she said.

These flies, she added, only lay eggs on dead individuals, so the development stage of the fly serves as a time stamp.

The introduction of a new fly to the Midwest mix is a problem for crime scene investigators because different flies go through their life stages at different speeds, Picard explained. Other factors governing development include what other species are swarming the body and the temperature in the vicinity of the corpse.

The forensic entomologist discovered the first instance of a species of fly not native to the Midwest in Indiana in September 2012 during routine collection of samples. Until now, the species — Chrysomya megacephala — had never been documented further north than New Mexico.

Climate change is changing the bugs. Which is changing how forensic entomologists work crime scenes.

Also this. http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/07/confirmed-spiders-are-even-more-terrifying-than-previously-thought/277544/

It's scary-awesome out there.

That is so fucking awesome!

Absolutely. This is fascinating. Someone should ping Kai about this on FB.

I don't have a FB account so I nominate one of you guys. :P

Can't be bothered.  I don't meet his standards.

Likewise. I think we embarrass him, or something.
