Bugs And Diatomaceous Earth
Hello all! I just thought of something since diatomaceous earth is a common natural bug-killer. It's my understanding that diatomaceous earth is from diatom (marine) fossils, and bugs were around before the dinosaurs (and are thought to have evolved from water). So how is it that DE kills bugs? How is it that bugs, who have the ability to evolve for survival over time, are still brought to their end by DE? I was just curious about that if anybody knows.
