In addition to cooling the cannabis flowers, by reflecting the radiant heat of the midday sun, the sticky trichomes are an obvious barrier to the passage of insect pests.
This was from the above link Samedan Ltd Pharmaceutical Publishers
I found this to be an interesting statement, due to the fact that he only talked about the trichomes purpose as being a repellent to bugs, and a heat shield for mid-day heat...Very basic...makes sense..But does not add much to the "mystery" of the trichome.
