Odor
edit@Sugarbat: Regarding this edit: huh? Blephilia hirsuta definitely has a strong minty odor. Blephilia ciliata has a fainter odor; I don't know about the other species of Blephilia. I confirmed this by going out my back door. However, Hilty doesn't say if the odor is the reason why B. hirsuta is not likely to be eaten by mammals. — Eru·tuon 22:00, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
Then again, maybe the odorousness of Blephilia hirsuta varies genetically or something. It is odd that Hilty doesn't mention it at all. — Eru·tuon 22:07, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
