Bugs. Bugs. Bugs. Lots of bugs. Thats the conclusion a team of scientists from around the world came to after an eight year-long census of a section of a Panamanian jungle. SO many bugs in fact, they say if bugs wanted to take over the world, they could! Ok, thats might be something we made up, but the real numbers made us jump out of our skin. Trace has all the creepy crawly details.

I love researching the so called scary bugs. I feel that they are more interesting then bugs most people like.
My favorite bug is a rhino beetle.
how did they count every single bug, they used eight years, plus bugs die and reproduse fast, the number must have changed alot during the counting
not true. if you used a computer immortality, then you can "colonize" other planets as all you need is electricity. it also makes interstellar travel possible.

i have a 5 inch japanese praying mantis who sits on my curtain and her name is Twinkie because she likes twinkies. shes nearly a year old now
i absolutely love praying mantids!
i breed about 8 different species and my heart skipped a beat when you said you liked them ^^
Come on, they had to have missed one tick or something.
what is the purpose of a fucking misquito? please tell me?
Insects are the single-most important organisms on this planet. Without them, damn near every lifeform above single-celled organisms would wither and die. They have a hand (segmented leg) in absolutely every biological process that makes this world "tick". I really wish people would acknowledge insects for their thankless yet irreplaceable role in propping up ALL life on this spinning rock in space…

Why are their bugs in berries, eyelashes, hair and dust? Especially dust that always weirded me out.
And yes, humans still unknowingly eat bugs inside berries and apples.
Middle of november is a weird time of year to have the air so thick with bugs your basically breathing them…
