No Need For Bugg Spray

Solar panels are able to lure aquatic insects to their death by having the appearance of water. The panels are a mesmerizing, lethal attraction to certain aquatic insects, drawing them to the panels' surface and trapping them there until death. the panels' attractiveness is similar to the way water reflects the light. When the sunlight hits water, light waves that are perpendicular to the water surface are absorbed, while light waves parallel to the surface are reflected. It results in waves aligning in one direction. So what basically happens to the water, happens to the solar panels. but to insects the solar panels are more attractive than water. this is because it polarizes more than water.

This has to do with the biology concept because something like solar panels that can produce power and also kill aquatic insects make the world more efficient. It also leads to more dicoveries and coolers ways to deal with things.

People should care about this because they can save money on bugg spray. Another reason is for the installment of more solar panels on roofs, cities, and parking lots.
