Cicadas Among Us
You would never know it, but lying in the ground beneath trees are billions of bugs just waiting to emerge into daylight. The wait can be really long though, as in 17 years long!

Radar Love: Antennae, Sex Pheromones and Bug Love
Insects Limited is all about pheromones. We synthesize insect pheromone, blend pheromones, test pheromones and provide pheromones to our customers around the globe. Simply stated, the concept for sex pheromones is that a chemical scent is launched into the air by a female insect and that scent ultimately translates into boy bug finding girl bug. While many people know this much about pheromones, most don’t understand the process that goes into making the male behave this way.

Clothes Moths Threaten Apartment Complexes
What do clothes moths have to do with apartment complexes?Insects Limited annually ranks US cities with the most clothes moth issues. The takeaway each year is that there are many more problems with clothes moths in highly-populated urban areas compared to issues in rural settings. This is almost certainly due to the fact that people pass the moths from person to person as they gift, sell or trade their belongings with each other. We also know that the moths can travel from residence to residence more easily in densely populated cities. Large apartment complexes are the most “at-risk” dwellings within cities to contract clothes moth issues.
