 They
spin, they “think,” they look like leaves
Whirligig beetles are found on top of fresh, quiet water, spinning
about like bumper cars. The have eyes split for double vision; the top
of their eyes can see above the water and the bottom half can see
below!
Ants have the largest brain of any insect. Combined, the number of
brain cells in a colony of ants is about equal to the number of brain
cells in a human.
A round-headed
katydid usually resembles a green leaf, but be on the lookout for this
rare pink form of the late-summer songster. Every year a few of these
specimens turn up within their range, which covers a large part of the
eastern U.S.
