Believe it or not, insects do have a ‘blood’ system, though they are not warm-blooded. Something has to get the oxygen to their tissues, too. They even have a blood-brain barrier (helps them fight off toxins).

Biology can be quite surprising.

Funny how they have simply disappeared; one might imagine a slew of tiny, little shriveled up carcasses lying all about the ground like spring pollen but nothing is to be found.

Kind of like looking for all the rubber that wears off your tire treads over time; it must just ride the wind.
