I experience the opposite even when I'm under time pressure (running late for something). When I discover some small, unrelated problem my brain will switch to problem solving mode and focus on this new task instead. This way I totally loose track of time, even though I was totally stressed out about it a second ago. This can happen with stuff like a broken tool but also if I happen to look at a sudoku.

Was it really a bug though?? (i.e. in the order Hemiptera)

Ah OK, didn't connect this to the post somehow, sorry

So cool!! Thanks :)

Same latitude doesn't mean same climate though. North America is much colder at the same latitudes as Europe for example. The climate also depends on how far away you live from the ocean and many other factors.

Haha took me a while to read it

Is this an isopod? :O

Nice!!

Haha, made me immediately think of this album

Yeah, it's great!

According to the Wikipedia article fascination can be caused by random mutations, bacterial or other infections as well as environmental stresses. So I'd say it totally depends. Only genetic mutations should make the plant give this characteristic to its offspring.

Most plants that I've seen with this characteristic are also not uniformly affected by it.

Haha I immediately had the exact same thought!
