tkassedyne.bsky.social @tkassedyne.bsky.social · 19/09/2025Did they just do a regular cow painted like anything else to use as a control? This control would let us know if the chemicals in the paint are the deterrent vs the zebra pattern. 000 0

The Smartest Floridian @stryc9fuego.bsky.social · 19/09/2025were there any control groups? did they test just straight-up spray painting a cow entirely? just applying spray paint at certain areas? maybe the bugs just hate that spray paint. 120 0
