Question

a dusty bloom on the body of the insect​

Answer 1

Answer:

In insects, a "bloom" caused by wax particles on top of an insect's cuticle that covers up the underlying coloration, giving a dusty or frosted appearance. The pruinescence is commonly white to pale blue in color, but can also be gray, pink, purple, or red; these colors may be produced by Tyndall scattering of light.

Answer 2

The dust is a mineral composed of small spheres embedded in a wax matrix.

Explanation:

• There are hundreds of different types of insects that contain different kinds of dust in their bodies.
• Insects that fly have a higher concentration of dust in the cells in the wings because dust is needed to produce the lift needed to stay airborne.
• The dust is produced by the cells in the insect bodies and is expelled when the insect is molested or dies.
