To start of this weeks news Tuesdays, there's a very interesting short video about the tick. It's a video that shows how ticks stick to skin by bearing it's saw like jaws deep into the epidermis...

 Does it make your skin itch yet?

Moving on to more discovery type news, the BBC covered a segment that bees were extinct 66 million years ago, about the same time as the dinosaurs. What's interesting about this find is the fact that bees don't possess much diversity in their species... This might be a correlation with the extinction.  

This is an interesting article touching on how female and male flowers have different senses that might give off different "rewards." This is interesting since the different sex flowers aren't as common as single sex.  They looked at epicephala moths and noted their behavior towards the flowers.
