Insects

  • According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the best time to spray household insects is 4:00 p.m. Insects are most vulnerable at this time. (It’s just like its better to water your plants in the early mornings or the evenings)
  • An insect exerts so much energy in one hour of flying that it may lose as much as a third of its total body weight
  • In rural areas, there are more insects in 1 square mile than there are humans on earth
  • When the temperature drops, the eyesight reaction time of insects (like the dragonfly and some animals like tortoises) decrease and thats why they can be caught early in the morning or at night by predators like birds whose eyesight reaction times are unaffected by temperature.
