The produced poisons by the WHO kills most members of the insects population leaving only the resistant individuals to reproduce with new genes that somehow enable them to resist the chemical attack. The problems such insects pose are just some of the many ways that evolution has a direct connection to our daily lives considering the adaptations in local environments. In the 1960s‚ the

Gregor’s transformation is partial. While he is physically an insect on the exterior‚ he retains a human mind inside. Hence‚ Gregor is mentally aware of what is happening to him and his body. This hybridity‚ in terms of having an insect body but a human mind‚ contributes greatly to the grotesque image of the main character.

The purpose of this experiment is to see which color bulb attracts the most insects at night time. I will use the same lamp for both bulbs and put it in the same location outside a window so I can observe the lamp without disturbing the insects with my presence. I will watch one color for ten minutes and wait 20 minutes after to do the other color. This is to make sure the second light is not having similar bugs recorded from the first light. For every observation day I will switch the order of the
