15 Interesting Insect Facts
Best Pest Control at the Lake of the Ozarks is all about getting rid of the insects "bugging" you in and around your home. Having insects on the brain all day though, we can't help but wonder about them. Here are some interesting things that we found out when we looked.
1. Only about 1% of insects are actually harmful to humans. Many are even beneficial. (Nobody wants them creeping around the house though!)
2. Night butterflies have ears on their wings so they can avoid bats.
3. A fossil found of a cockroach was dated back to about 280 million years ago.
4. A cockroach can hold its breath for 40 minutes, and can even survive under water for half an hour.
5. Only male crickets can chirp.
6. Watch out for those lady mosquitoes. Only they bite, not the males.
7. A mosquito flaps its wings about 500 times a second.
8. Scorpions can live for more than a year without eating.
9. The common garden worm has 5 pairs of hearts.
10. Flea larvae pupate in a silken cocoon on the ground.
11. Male water bugs will carry over 100 eggs on their back for about a week until they hatch.
12. Fireflies are not actually flies, but beetles.
13. Beetles are one of the most popular pets for people in Japan and are even sold in many department stores.
14. The average housefly lives for about one month.
15. Honeybees have hair on their eyes.
Well, we bet you didn't know most of those facts. They may not help you out in every day life, but now you'll have an edge if bugs come up when you are playing Trivia Crack.
