Last week I was reading yours posts and I think that you would like to know about some insects that are in your daily life. So today I will talk to you about some bugs that are interesting for me, and that I suppose we play with them when we were little kids.
One beautiful and great insect is the butterfly, who is part of the family of the moths, butterflies are beautiful insects of the world, and like all insects they have the same body complexion, you can find butterflies in any environment, in hot or cold, in a mountain or in the ocean anywhere you want, but you can find more in the tropical areas. Moth is the relative of the butterfly, there is a torticid moth (in the picture of the bottom) these were found in Mexico can you imagine! In the prehispanic time.(Torticid Moth)
Now I will talk you about lady bugs, every one love them because of their colorful, spotted appearance, but some people love them(farmers), because their appetite can you imagine someone eating those beautiful insects! There are about 5,000 of these species not all of them taste equal, and talking other thing about these insects you know that the put 100 eggs in their colonies imagine! 100 eggs there are a lot.(Lady bugs, Nationa Geographic)
Other beautiful insect and that you will remember well is the stick insect this insect appear in the movie of bugs life, yeah right the one of the bottom! I love that insect. Do you know that they common name is walking stick that is a funny name for an insect, these insects are the most largest in the world the measure around 12 to 21in for an insect is a lot, you can find it in tropical areas and most of these animal are nocturnal, but in the day they are in the sticks of the trees.(Stick Insects, National Geographic)
And finally the insect that many of us in our infancy try to capture the firefly (lighting bug), is so fascinated how they can have light in the tail I love the a lot! All of us know why are they called firefly, but I think that few people know how they produce the light, well they have light organs located under their abdomen, when they breath specials cell, combine with a substance called luciferin can produce light with almost no heat, this is so awesome that when I research this, I was impacted of this little insects.(Fireflies, National Geographic)
