Yikes! Spiders! Mites on my eyelashes? Some bugs are harmless, some are just gross and some are downright scary!
- Human follicle mites live on the skin of our eyelashes, eyebrows and nose
- The insect population of Earth is estimated to be 10,000,000,000,000,000,000; insects outnumber humans 1,492,000,000 to one
- Fleas are to blame for spreading many diseases, including the infamous Black Plague
- The lowly mosquito is responsible for no less than 1.5 million human deaths per year
- In order to match the jump of a froghopper, a human would need to jump 216 meters high
- Watch out when you kill a wasp or an army ant--the dying bug releases an attack pheromone that alerts its sisters, and a raiding party can number 500,000
- When Human botfly larvae burrow under your skin, the remedy is to block the air hole with tape or petroleum jelly to asphyxiate the larvae
- When ticks gorge themselves on human blood, they can increase 200 to 600 times their original weight--it's like going for lunch and coming back weighing as much as an elephant!
And so much more…
