Filed under: Uncategorized —— 043926 @ 8:39 am

So you all now that frogs eat beetle well this type of ground beetle is now fighting back. With it technique of sit and wait with a little of a unique antennae and mouth parts movement they lure the frogs to them. They doge the  the frog attack, then thy ponce. With a 100%  kill  rate they  use there double hooke mouth parts to hook up and drink the body fluid and chew on the meat.

I choose this becouse the little guy is fighting back and braking the frogs paradime. (If frogs have paradimes.) I alos like how the frogs are bruatally killed. So if you are the litte guy and you are gettting picked on just remember this.

Title: ‘Heat-Proof’ Eggs Help Turtles Cope With Hot Beaches

Date: Sep. 27, 2011

Summary (8-10 sentences)

In this article it talks about how some green turtles eggs are natural heat resistant. The green turtles are being threaten by the increasing heat of earth. This article is based on turtles nesting in Ascension Island, a UK overseas territory. It stated that the turtles that hatched on darker and warmer sand are more heat resistant than turtles that were born in cooler and lighter sands. The beaches that I’m talking about are only 6 kilometer apart and the tempters difference is only 3 degrees Celsius difference. The turtles after they were hatch would then go to the coast of South America then return to the island to nest. The female turtles nest in the same area that they them nested on so that generation to generation will become more adapt to the heat. This curricular to having the species live on in a warmer world.

What you found most interesting about the article and why (4-6 sentences)

The part I found most interesting about the article is that the beaches are only 6 kilometer apart. This is cool because this could make a huge difference in this populations existents. The more the generations that are born on the darker sand the longer  they will live.
