Re: Do insects also get cold?
Speaking about cold blooded and warm blooded. Why don't you see blooded when killing an ant?
Is it that fine?
Is it that fine?

Not all blood is red. Insects generally have green or blue blood iirc. Also the amount of blod present in one and is minute!bosaap wrote:Speaking about cold blooded and warm blooded. Why don't you see blooded when killing an ant?

Re: Do insects also get cold?
Goggo-blood doesn't carry oxygen, only nutrients, so it's green instead of red. Basically our blood is red because it's rusty - haemoglobin is iron-based, combined with oxygen ... rust. Not sure what metal, if any, insect blood is based on. (I slept through class that day)bosaap wrote:Speaking about cold blooded and warm blooded. Why don't you see blooded when killing an ant?

Re: Do insects also get cold?
I don't mind parktown prawns... or most goggos... its the ones that bites you when you accidentally disturb their snooozy sleep in a warm slipper... Where i live there are all sorts... you should see my spiders (ask hamin huns...
) i'm terrified of them, but believe that in order to overcome the fear, i need to face it... so i will lie in bed with my duvet up my nose and watch it move across the roof....
i don't believe in killing anything, so i have never seen goggo blood... mind i lie....
i do kill the ticks on my cats....
and their blood are red....

"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

It's not actually the ticks blood, but your cat's blood. The ticks suck it up into their 'stomach' and that stomach gets popped when you squash the ticksjee wrote:i don't believe in killing anything, so i have never seen goggo blood... mind i lie....i do kill the ticks on my cats....

The moth I saw this morning did not look cold at all - he/she was very active.

Thank you, yes. Spiders are not insects unless you delicately amputate a couple of legs.Tribble wrote:The moth I saw this morning did not look cold at all - he/she was very active.

Re: Do insects also get cold?
Now I just need the guts to get close enough to mutilate one of the beasties so that I can take a picture and chat about it.
You know mousey - I never knew you were this sadistic. Perhaps we have more in common than I originally thought![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)

Re: Do insects also get cold?
mina.magpie, lol you do know we are just joking. I would never hurt something - I would kill it as humanely as possible.
I believe in karma and don't want mutilated arachnids on my conscience
Besides - I am sure that they communicate telepathically and its buddies would hunt me down and scare me to death ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
