I think 2386: Ten Years also had gray-scale figures, but just for one panel. --nixstyx (talk) 02:37, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

another suggestion for “shadow flies”: in certain interpretations of quantum physics entities in other possible worlds are referred to as “shadow ___” (e.g. “shadow photons”).172.71.142.106 04:23, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Starving

I’d love to understand what’s going on with the “starving” comment. Are fireflies starving themselves to get that enzyme to work? Ptdecker (talk) 08:04, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

I can't currently see "starving" anywhere. (Old edit?) Unless you misread "They're starting"..? 141.101.99.115

What's the "fatty acid enzyme trick" that Megan mentions? --NeatNit (talk) 11:46, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
