Bugs in Your Bloomers by John Lampkin Insects and flowering plants have been co-evolving for at least 135 million years and as a result, both groups have flourished, becoming our most abundant fauna and flora. The relationships are more varied, complex, and sophisticated than first meets the eye. So, what is that bug and what is it doing in that flower?
