Hello everyone happy Mexico Independent Day!
Well, I will review everything that is in my blog:
- · First I made an introduction about the bug’s collection, and I give interest facts of thin.
- · Then I explained you how to make and killing jar, and all the materials you need.
- · And last one was of some insects that were in our infancy.
Now I will continue telling you about more insect, but now I will tell you about the poison ones, I found a video that when a saw I can believed that small bugs can cause so many deaths, I were scare please see the following video:
As we can see in the video the scientists measure the poison of an insect with the LD50.
If you see the video you can maybe have your face like OH MY GOD!, and I can understand you, is difficult to believe, now when I go to the forest or in even to the park I will be careful with the insects.
Also I notice that in the video they didn’t tell anything about spiders, and black beetles like:
- · Brown Recluse Spider: the bite of this spider can cause restlessness, fever, chills, nausea, weakness, and joint pain; this could happen in 24-36 hr.
- · Black Widow Spider: the poison of this spider affects your nervous system; other symptoms are nausea, elevated, blood pressure, sweating, tremors and increased white blood cell counts.
- · Blister Beetles: produce a toxic called cantharidin that if you touch can causes inflammation and blistering of internal and external body tissues.
Well I hope that the information can be helpful to you, know when you start to collecting your bugs take care of you, to not catch a poison bug and avoid the way
to the hospital.
Have a nice weekend!

Wow! I didn't know that so little insects that seem to be harmless can be seriously deadly! I have heard about a lot of insects that where harmful, like the bees, even there is a movie about them, but I never imagine that the most deadly of all insects was an ant! a tiny little creature that someone can smash easily, and it is even more scary is that it is located in Arizona, USA, so close to Mexico!
ResponderEliminarI’m not afraid from spiders I actually like the black and white ones that live on the houses and eat the mosquitoes. After reading your blog I was impressed of how dangerous some can be. I watched this documentary on discovery channel that showed how just a little bite of a spider can make people lose their hands and their foot because they got gangrenous.
I’m going to follow your advices and to be more careful about bugs and spiders when I see them. Thanks for this week blog!
Hi Caro
ResponderEliminarNice post. This is the first time I’ll post because I haven’t the opportunity to do it.
First, I’ll say that the insects are a lot interesting because they do so many things for use and we don’t understand that because we thing that they are disgusting or irritating. But, we don’t know how dangerous they can be. For example, the scorpions, they have a sting in their tail and it can be dangerous. It may kill you! It happened to my mom and she said that she couldn’t move her hand.
Again, great post and I hope you continue like that!
