mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Raak

Among the lepidoptera?

CdM

Veg in name? No.
Fruit fly? No. *brief smattering of applause*
Butterfly? No.

Dujon

Does this insect have a particular liking for cellulose?

CdM

Taste for cellulose? No. (If anything, perhaps the opposite, although I may be over-interpreting what I have read.)
As usual, there are other ways of approaching this AVMA rather than just guessing at insects.

Raak

Is any part of this insect used as a foodstuff?

CdM

Insect used as foodstuff? No.

Tuj

Begins with P?

Raak

Is the vegetable connection to its diet?

cfm

Does the insect have wings?

CdM

Begins with P? It most certainly does.
Vegetable = diet? Still Yes.
Insect have wings? Yes.

CdM

Actually...

The "does it have wings?" question really deserves a more detailed answer. This particular insect has a rather complicated life-cycle which includes several different stages; in one of these stages it may have wings.
