__ Woah! __ This article was about how plants fend off insects and how insects fight back.I got a lot of information from this article and I'm going to share some of it with you.First I'm going to tell you who conducted this expierement/study,his name was Noah Whiteman and his crew.One fact is that the plant being ate is called the arabidopsis thaliana, a weedy plant in the mustard family.The insect eating and nesting in the plant is called the drosophila melanogaster,red-eyed fruit fly.Noah Whiteman and his crew were very dedicated to this study.For example Noah Whiteman when he went to different country to join the faculty at the UA he took the flies with him to the hotels.One day Noah started to look was at a fresh pond.He looked for yellow flowers,and sure enough there was a plant there called barbarea vulgaris growing there.He looked for mines(holes) in the leaf.He brought back some leaves and larvae to his lab, wrapped them in paper towels, put them in cages and letr them go.After a while flies started coming out.Some with red eyes.Isn't that COOL!!!!!

My thoughts and opinions are one opinion of mine is that I thought this study would be very useful because insects everywhere eat plants and I would like to know more about them.One thought of mine is that Noah Whiteman should expand this to bigger things like bigger animals and different types of plants.Another opinion is that I think Noah Whiteman went very deep into this study because he even took his insects with him.I think he was dedicated to this.Another thought I had was that can some plants kill insects or do they just produce chemicals to fend for themselves.
