Interesting Insects and Facts

Bees

Bees are one of the most intelligent insects in the animal world. Not only do they have their own means of communication, they also have extraordinary navigation skills.

They perform a series of movements called a “waggle dance” to tell each other where food is located or which spot is best for building a new colony. Their dance is extremely advanced, and can convey different things. 

Locusts

Locusts are one of the most efficient pilots in the insect world. These winged creatures, can fly great distances. They can fly steadily even in the winds and temperature become unfavorable. This thing enables them to fly up to 80 kilometers in one day without requiring a rest.

Dung Beetle

Dung beetles collect animal wastes, roll it up into a ball, and use it for several purposes. Now, what’s amazing is that dung beetles have the incredible ability to roll their “dung balls” in a straight line even at night by using the “entire starry sky”. Dung beetles are great recyclers and incredible astronomers.

Voodoo wasps

Voodoo wasps are called such because of their “magical” ability to turn their prey or enemies into “zombies. Once the insects become zombies, voodoo wasps can control them.

Voodoo wasps lay their eggs inside the bodies of young caterpillars. The larvae inside the caterpillars feed on the caterpillars and it also acts as the cocoon’s bodyguard, protecting it from various predators.
