At least half of all visitors to Nepal go to the lakeside town of Pokhara. The symbol of the region is the 6,993-metre high Machhapuchhare Mountain, which means "fish tail" in English.

Plants can summon an insect rescue team when they are attacked by pests, just as if they were calling for a microscopic ambulance.

For example, two kinds of_caterpillars attack numerous crops and cost US farmers about $6 billion annually. The plants summon a black, parasitic wasp that is the natural enemy of the caterpillars. Scientists have known for years that plants could send out distress calls to wasps and other insect bodyguards, but they are just beginning to understand how sophisticated the messages can be. They hope to find out more about the signals and eventually use them to develop chemical-free pest control systems.
