  1. #Moths Can Smell With Their Wings sci.news/biology/moth-wing-olf

    Noses on the wing: the olfactory capacity of #hawkmoth wings. By Ahmed Reda Ismaieel et al. journals.biologists.com/jeb/ar

    "Scientists have found that #moth wings are equipped with odor-detecting receptors, suggesting the #insects use their wings — not just their antennae — to sense chemical cues in the air while flying."

  30. Hawkmoth v0.20 is out!

    Hawkmoth is a Sphinx extension to import C and C++ documentation comments into Sphinx based documentation.

    The main new feature in this release is automatic configuration of the system header search paths. Unfortunately, libclang does not get them right out of the box on most distros, so we have to help it a little.
