The original Bugs In The News website was created in the 1990’s, as www.bugsinthenews.com, to serve as a repository of information on bugs and animals found in Texas. Over the years, the information on that website was broadened to include more and more organisms, including botanicals. Today, we consider its purview to include all living things in the animal kingdom. Its geography–originally limited to Texas–has broadened to include all of North America, but in order to give botanicals their proper due, in a dedicated setting, we separated them out, and treat them in a sister website, Buds In The News.info.
Both Bugs In The News.Info and Buds In The News.info use a new theme and format from the original Bugs In The News.Com. Navigation is simplified by providing, on the lefthand side of each page and posting, a listing of the common names and taxons of the organisms or botanicals being studied. Hold your cursor over one of these categories and a descriptive balloon describing the category’s meaning will pop up. Clicking on a category will automatically take you to a listing of the posts related to that category, so you can click on one or more of those posts to study them separately.
The information provided here is constantly being updated. It is intended to cover each organism and botanical in considerable background detail, in terms of biology, anatomy, appearance, habits, and other features of importance. This background detail is then bolstered with contemporary reports, supplied by viewers and contributors, regarding how these organisms are impacting the environment, and the way the environment and the other organisms within it impact the particular organism.
