Hello,
My neighbor, he's an idiot, said it was because of the LTE radiation from the cell phones. I do not believe that. Any tips? Opinions? Thanks Joachim

That image has been digitally manipulated. The middle antenna is a cut-and-paste of the one to its left.

The expression of the genes of an ancient ancestor that had more than two pairs of wings, as some fossil insects are known to have had? Incidentally, the strange ornamentations of membracids are, apparently, derived from a highly modified third pair of wings - www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/05/110506164319.htm |

Did he mention if the butterflies were using the phones? Or just flying too close?  The pics of the other butterfly are interesting. Does that mean prehistoric butterflies had more than four wings? I was unaware of that. I've never seen a depiction of a prehistoric insect with more than four. I'll have a look at that link, thanks for sharing it. |

I'll have a look at that link, thanks for sharing it. By the time butterflies appeared (probably in the Early Eocene), a third pair of wings had long since disappeared in insects. Some Carboniferous insects such as the Palaeodictyoptera (see reconstruction below) had three pairs of wings, but it's probably more accurate to refer to them as "winglets", as clearly, they're mere flaps, and too small to have been of much use in flying.  The very early dragonfly order, Geroptera, had a similar third pair of "wings" - link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11692-007-9013-4/figures/16 |

Today’s Diptera has one pair of wings and pair of halteres which evolved in most species from the hindwings.

That image has been digitally manipulated. The middle antenna is a cut-and-paste of the one to its left. It looks like the middle and right antennae are real but the left antenna is a very poor cut and paste job. Enlarge the photo and it's obvious. Adam. |

I have some with one and a few with none. But absolutely none with Three. I have a few of these as well..., and I've always wondered if they were worth anything to collectors that buy aberrations. In fact, I just spread one "super rare aberration" yesterday that had antennae that were just little nubs coming from the head... Ha - john Note today's date before you get too worked up... |

People seemed to enjoy that music. Can't say I know who the band is, but then I am out of touch with music.

I don't think it's a matter of being out of touch Adam, that song was released in 1969, and Chicago were one of the biggest bands through the 70s!
