Nascent Drama

Some animals are green: these include some frogs, toads, some turtles, some lizards and amphibians, some snakes, some birds such as parrots, caterpillars and some insects such as praying mantis.
 
Green algae and green plankton are important food sources at the bottom of the food chain.
 
Most fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds appear green because of a reflection of blue light coming through an over-layer of yellow pigment.
 
Perception of color can also be effected by the environment surrounding.
 
For example, broadleaf forests typically have a yellow-green light about them as the trees filter the light.
 
Turacoverdin is one chemical which can cause a green hue in birds, especially.[9]
 
Invertebrates, such as insects or mollusks, often display green colors because of Porphyrin pigments, sometimes caused by diet.
 
This can causes their feces to look green as well.
 
Other chemicals which generally contribute to greenness among organisms are flavins (lychochromes) and hemanovadin.[9]
 
Animals typically use the color green as camouflage, blending in with the chlorophyll green of the surrounding environment.[9]
 
Humans have imitated this by wearing green clothing as a camouflage in military and other fields.
 
Substances that may impart a greenish hue to one's skin include biliverdin, the green pigment in bile, and ceruloplasmin, a protein that carries copper ions in chelation.
 
In many folklores and literatures, green has traditionally been used to symbolize nature and its embodied attributes, namely those of life, fertility, and rebirth.
 
Green was symbolic of resurrection and immortality in Ancient Egypt; the god Osiris was depicted as green-skinned.[11]
 
Stories of the medieval period further portray it as representing love[26] and the base, natural desires of man.[27]
 
Green is also known to have signified witchcraft, devilry and evil for its association with faeries and spirits of early English folklore.
 
It also had an association with decay and toxicity.[28]
 
Actor Bela Lugosi wore green-hued makeup for the role of Dracula in the 1927-28 Broadway stage production.[29]
