| That's because if an insect gets into the bag of white flour and starts eating it, that insect will die from consuming it. White flour is a natural insecticide because it kills any insect that attempts to live off of it.
So by the time the truck arrives at its destination, which might be a cereal company, a bread company or some kind of food producer, if there were ants or crickets or other insects that got into the truck when it left the factory, all those insects will be dead by the time it arrives. Why did they die? They were eating the white flour. |

 If this ratio holds for that particular tree, then there must be 240 species of non-beetle insects in the canopy, for a total of 400 insect species. Scientists estimate that about two-thirds of the insects live in the canopy, one-third in other parts of the tree. This gives us 600 species of insects in the entire tree. There are about 50,000 species of trees in tropical forests, and if each contains 600 insect species, then there are at least 30 million species of insects in the world. |

 If a single stinging insect is flying around, remain still or lie face down on the ground. The face is the most likely place for a bee or a wasp to sting. Swinging or swatting at an insect may cause it to sting.
9. If you are attacked by several stinging insects at the same time, run to get away from them. Bees release a chemical when they sting. This alerts other bees to the intruder. More bees often follow. Go indoors. Outdoors, a shaded area is better than an open area to get away from the insects.
10. If a bee comes inside your vehicle, stop the car slowly, and open all the windows. |

 At once, we have an important measure of the value of a food; namely, the quality of insect life that it can support. The more valuable the product for human food, the more insect life it will support. Whereas highly refined white flour will support almost no insect life, a good product will support a relatively large amount of insect life in proportion to the volume of flour.
Consider this: food factories must deliver the food ingredients that are desired by manufacturers. And manufacturers, in turn, must deliver the foods and grocery products that are desired and purchased by consumers. |

INSECT BITES AND STINGS
All insect bites provoke a reaction in the skin that is primarily an allergic response to substances in the insect's saliva, venom, or deposited feces. A honeybee's stinger is barbed and remains in the wound. The bee sting sac is rich in sugars. The wasp sting is primarily the stomach organ and the stinger of the wasp, which is comprised of protein. Many spider venoms are composed of complex proteins and proteolytic enzymes.
Enzymes can be used as a salve and systemically to combat the effects of bites and stings. |
| They concluded that the duration of the insect's life varied with the intensity of its metabolic needs. (Edward Howell, Enzyme Nutrition [New York: Avery, 1995] 22). At lower temperatures the metabolic enzymes worked at a slower rate and the insect lived five times longer (108 days at 46 degrees) than in higher temperature environments (25 days at 82 degrees). As enzymes did their work, the insect's enzymatic potential was depleted. From their research MacArthur and Baillie concluded that we are all born with a fixed capacity to make metabolic enzymes. |

 Successful perennials, especially trees, will have been able to protect themselves against the most withering insect attack over a period of centuries; they seem more likely to contain chemicals of interest to human beings than would annual forbs which, with life cycles measured in weeks, may have turned themselves into seeds again before they are found by plant-eating insects. The characteristics of plants that enable people to readily find and remember them also make plants more perceptible and available to insects and other browsers. |

 Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus IR3535 insect Repellent Unscented SPF 15 Sunscreen Spray ($10 for 4 ounces) may work to keep mosquitoes and flies away, but fails to provide sufficient UVA protection, while the amount of alcohol is irritating to skin, especially when paired with the chemical insect repellant.
© Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus IR3535 SPF 15 Sunscreen Cooling Gel ($12 for 4 ounces) is similar to the Skin So Soft Bug Guard products above, only in gel form. The same concerns about the lack of UVA-protecting ingredients and high amount of alcohol apply here, too. |

 In addition to being a toxic threat to animals and humans, chemical fertilizers and pesticides on lawns weaken the grass and destroy the natural balance of microbes and beneficial insect predators, thus, in the end promoting weed and insect proliferation.
As an alternative, try an organic fertilizer, which slowly feeds your lawn and does not kill earthworms. Mow your lawn at the mower's highest setting and let the grass cuttings stay in the lawn as a natural mulch. You could even spend some time outside and pull up weeds or use one of the new contraptions that just pops them out of the ground. |

| Bug and Sun Sunscreen with insect Repellent SPF 30 ($11.99 for 8 ounces) repels insects with the chemical DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide), but leaves skin vulnerable to UVA damage because it lacks the UVA-protecting ingredients of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, avobenzone, Tinosorb, or Mexoryl SX. coppertone kids products
© Kids Continuous Spray Sunscreen SPF 50 ($9.99'for 6ounces) differs from the "adult" version reviewed above and includes avobenzone for UVA protection. However, the alcohol content is still extremely high, and makes this sunscreen too irritating for children's skin. |

 The part of the insect that contains the most carmine is the abdomen that houses the fertilized eggs of the coccineal. Once dried, a process begins whereby the abdomens and fertilized eggs are separated from the rest of the anatomical parts. These are then ground into a powder and cooked at temperatures in excess of 212? F (100? C) to extract the maximum amount of color. This cooked solution is filtered and through special processes that cause all carmine particles to precipitate to the bottom of the cooking container. |
| Personally, I'd rather eat the insect pigment.
And although there are no studies that demonstrate health benefits of carmine, I wouldn't be surprised to hear of some in the coming years.
ARE THERE ALTERNATIVES TO CARMINE?
Yes. One company, Canandaigua Wine, introduced a substitute product derived from grape skins. According to the Canandaigua website, this new product has no allergic reactions, has better pH resistance (that's really important to food manufacturers), and has a lower "gross" factor. Nobody gets the shivers reading, "colored with grape skin extract" on the label. |

 If an insect eats these "fake" proteins, they get incorporated into its cells and prevent growth and division. Bye-bye, insect. But before you shrink from ever eating another leaf of lettuce, remember that humankind has evolved alongside plants over millions of years, during which we have relied on them for sustenance. We and other animals have learned to consume these compounds, which actually act as mini-doses of chemotherapy, preventing ever-arising and ultra-fast dividing cells from growing. |

What to Do If Someone Is Stung
1. Have someone stay with the victim to be sure that the person does not have an allergic reaction.

 After fully infecting and devouring the host insect, the fungus grows a stalk, which releases new spores to start the process again. It is the remnant of the caterpillar and the fruiting body (mushroom) that is collected for use. They are gently cleaned and dried and, when cooked, have a mushroom flavor without a hint of the original insect.
In traditional Chinese medicine, cordyceps has been used since the 1730s or possibly earlier. The first mention of this herb in the Chinese medical literature is in Wu Yi Luo's Ben Cao Cong Xin (New Compilation of Materia Medica), written in 1757. |

Diluted lavender essential oil can be immensely soothing and healing when applied to skin affected by an insect bite. Dilute a few drops in a vegetable oil base before applying it directly to the skin.

 For example, evolutionists claim plant-mimicry among insects is beneficial and will be selected for, but they also claim that warning-warrior colorations, such as insect stripes, are beneficial and will be selected for. Yet if both these hypotheses are true, any kind of coloration on the insect will have some beneficial value and will be selected for. Natural selection cannot make unique predictions, but is used retrospectively to explain everything.
Natural selection, as observed in operation, permits variations only within species boundaries. It operates also to preserve those boundaries. |
