off the top of your head, what's the funniest bug fact you know?
Totally didn’t spend half an hour wracking my brain for insect facts that could be considered funny... But I had fun doing it, don’t worry! Here’s the top three that I could think of:
If you live in an area where lots of beetles fly into your windows at night during the summer, those are largely different types of scarab beetles (they’re not all big and sparkly!), which are some of the more robust beetle species and therefore least agile fliers. (Video source for the beetles!)
The holes are called “baffles” and it’s great. When crickets rub their wings together to chirp (fancy word for this action is “stridulation”), there’s some sound cancelling that occurs due to their wings. The baffle stops some of this cancelling and lets them project further in the already sound-filled summer nights!
Caterpillars can already be pretty wacky in terms of their bodily defenses (look up slug moth and giant silk moth caterpillars too!) but this one’s up there. It’s pretty ingenious because while other insects will also stick things to themselves to disguise themselves/fend off predators (see green lacewing larvae and Acanthaspis petax, an assassin bug), the caterpillar saves some energy by using its own body materials instead of scavenging or hunting for others. Here’s a video of a caterpillar bravely defending itself against a predator (does the dog caterpillar die? Unfortunately yes :/ but it took the predator a while to get it) and the study it was from.
