Hemolymph
Hemolymph, or haemolymph, is a fluid in the circulatory system of arthropods and is analogous to the fluids and cells making up both blood and interstitial fluid in vertebrates such as birds and mammals. In addition, some non-arthropods such as molluscs possess a hemolymphatic circulatory system. Hemolymph fills all of the interior of the animal's body and surrounds all cells. It contains hemocyanin, a copper-based protein that turns blue in color when oxygenated, instead of the iron-based hemoglobin in red blood cells found in vertebrates, thus giving hemolymph a blue-green color rather than the red color of vertebrate blood. When not oxygenated, hemolymph quickly loses its color and appears grey. The hemolymph of lower arthropods, including most insects, is not used for oxygen transport because these animals respirate directly from their body surfaces to air, but it does contain nutrients such as proteins and sugars. Hemolymph can contain nucleating agents that confer extra cellular freezing protection. Such nucleating agents have been found in the hemolymph of insects of several orders, i.e., Coleoptera, Diptera, and Hymenoptera.+-+2+2+
