Still Waters Posted August 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2012 One day in May of 2011, Shaun Winterton was looking at pictures of bugs on the Internet when something unusual caught his eye. It was a close shot of a green lacewing — an insect he knew well — but on its wing was an unfamiliar network of black lines and a few flecks of blue. Winterton, a senior entomologist at the California Department of Food and Agriculture, has seen a lot of bugs. But he hadn't seen this species before. "I sent the link to a few colleagues of mine," Winterton told The Picture Show. "They hadn't seen it either. And I realized: This thing's new." http://www.npr.org/b...vered-on-flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted August 14, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Cute bug. I read somewhere that the estimated amount of undiscovered species, be it plant or animal is, uh, a lot. Don't remember what that suggested figure is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis914 Posted August 14, 2012 #8 Share Posted August 14, 2012 All the lacewings I've seen are like a translucent green color... pretty cool! When we used to live in a part of DFW that had a lot of pollution and factories, I remember I used to find gray and pink bugs, bright blue/green bugs, which may have been their natural coloration, not sure...

UFO_Monster Posted August 14, 2012 #10 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Cute bug. I read somewhere that the estimated amount of undiscovered species, be it plant or animal is, uh, a lot. Don't remember what that suggested figure is. We discover thousands of new species every year. We definitely haven't found every species on this planet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
