Nature's Defence

I learned the other day (Saying “the other day” is very vague, don’t you think? It could be yesterday, 6 months ago, or even longer! And what if this is information that we’ve learned from the future!? Can we still say "I learned it 'another day'"?) 

Anyways, when the grass got eaten by predators, the smell of the cut/eaten grass would attract other insects that would attack the grasses predators, who would eat them. 

Not to shabby of a defense! Everything in nature evolved a trait that permitted them to survive. It may have been though speed, camouflage, smells, natural weapons, etc. It could be a number of things! Next time that you see a plant/animal, ask yourself, how did it make it this far into the future? How did it evolve to survive, to rise against the competition?
