What a buzzkill.

I'll bet you're the type of person who points out when people have a piece of chive sticking to their front teeth, aren't you? You seem like the type.

One thing whiteflies haven’t adapted to is wind. I put my decorative potato vines that had them on the windy deck and
they are gone.

Aphids, who can cling, are holding out OK until my next chemical temper tantrum.

I don't know the scientific difference and think evolution is continual adaptation.

Uhmmm...hate to burst your bubble, but evolution is adaptation. Adaptation is what causes organisms to evolve.

I don’t understand the resistance some conservatives have toward evolution. After all, we humans evolved from primitive cave dewllers into the advanced civilization we have today. Human history is a story of evolution.
