| London ladybirds top sex disease league | ||
Nine in 10 of London's ladybirds suffer from a sexually transmitted disease.
"We think it's the car pollution," Dr Greg Hurst of University College London told the BBC. Ladybirds feed on greenfly and greenfly thrive in polluted conditions. It seems that in London, the greenfly do so well that the ladybirds breed very quickly and their generations get mixed up; one generation may easily breed with the next or previous one. 'Remarkably promiscuous' This increases the transmission of the sexually transmitted disease. "When they come out from over-wintering, they are remarkable promiscuous," Dr Hurst said. "They actually get the highest prevalence of sexually transmitted infections of virtually any insect. "By the end of May, 80-95% of adult ladybirds will have acquired a sexually transmitted infection." Fortunately for the ladybirds, the effects of the disease are not severe. "This disease is very mild and benign. In Eastern Europe, the ladybirds get a more serious disease which makes them sterile; so once they've got the disease, they've got about 17 days' breeding left," said Dr Hurst. UK ladybirds suffer from a fungal STD. The affliction is one of many subjects addressed at an international symposium on insects at the University of Reading, UK. | ||

From my dub days, i have always wondered which animals got venerial diseases too. Well, here is the answer, heh heh. Question for dubs: is god punishing bugs for sin???? If not, then how could vd/std's in humans be a result of sin?? Truth is, std's and all other diseases, are just another animal thing that we have inherited in these animal (98%) bodies.

*** Rbi8 Romans 1:24-27 ***
24
Therefore God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them, 25 even those who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the One who created, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; 27 and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error.SS
