If only the Caribou could speak. They would tell us about blackflies! You -- think you've seen bugs. Im- agine it - eyes, ears and oh, yes - the nose full of those crawling, nipping nasties. Bug in Pukaskwa country is enough to drive a Caribou or Moose crazy. In fact some do snap under the pressure. Panic- ing, they often run themselves to exhaus- tion weakened by the relentless hordes. The Caribou tries to evade them and is often fairly success- ful. They hug -the Superior shoreline much of the summer months. There the cool waters of the 'finland sea" moder- ate not only the coast- al climate but the insect populations as well. The Moose often stays further inland, but an appetite for aquatic plants sup- plies another solution to the bug problem. Feeding immersed in water affords this mammal a well deser- ved break. If the animals can't speak their mind about bugs - we hu- mans can! What camper, hiker or can- oeist hasn't severely questioned the exis- tence of mosquitos, blackflies and the endless host of other nibblers? But they really can't be that bad, can they? Let's take a tally of their bad points (just the biggies). They bite. They make us swell up and_ itch. They spread a numb- er of diseases includ- ing malaria, ence- phalitis, and yellow fever. They keep us awake with buzzing and whining noises ( tents especially). They take our blood (without asking or windows, shirts and other solid surfaces. That is a substantial list! However, under- neath that grizzly ex- terior biting insects are often intruiging and highly beneficial. Their habit of feeding on blood gives them particularly interest- ing biology. Interest- ingly only a_ small portion of insect spe- cies and of those only the females have this unique appetite! The blood-drawing process is a wonder of adaptation (sceptics please read on). Be- "cause the blood coa- gulates. very quickly, ~ the insects must intro- duce an anticoagulant as it receives: the li- quid. Many species of biters have stretch re- _ ceptors on their stom- achs, specialized cells that signal when the stomach is engorged. This stops the diner from overeating, so that they can still fly. If you've ever won- dered how they find you - there are many ways. One is the de- tection of minute changes in air curr- ents people cause as they walk. Carbon di- oxide sensing cells on some species locate potential victims by their exhaled breath. Others include sens- ing specific compon- ents of the body's sweat. So the obvious solution is don't breathe, sweat, or move!! There are many beneficial aspects of bugs too. Here are just a few. Their larv- al stage provide a large portion of the food that gives rise to trout, pickerel and- many edible sport- fish. They're a critical component of almost all stream, river, lake and wetland ecoysys- tems. Their high pro- tein content necessi- tates the rapid growth of nearly all our nest- _ ing *birds.- Economic benefits from the pro- " duction and sales of repellents and oint- ments are substantial. Next time a bug taps you for a donation, try to console yourself with any or all of the above!
