This is the Greatest Cricket inword

Giant insects are often called wetas. Length They can be as long as 10 centimeters (4 inches) without counting their legs and antennae. Well, pretty well for an insect. And their weight can be up to 70 grams (2.5 ounces), which is heavier than the sparrows.

Insects are food crops and fruit - fruit. Wetas this type from New Zealand, and almost became extinct a hundred years ago eaten by rats and other small mammals. But they recently have been found again in the land in New Zealand.

Glow Glow, Light and Exotic Nights

Firefly beetle included in the family of the order Coleoptera. There are more than 2000 species of fireflies are spread in the tropics worldwide. They can be found in damp places, such as swamps and areas covered with trees. In humid areas that fireflies find many sources of food for the larvae.

We know that the fireflies come out at night, but there is also the fireflies are active in the daytime. Those who come out during the day is generally not give off light. Only a few fireflies that can give off light when in the dark.

But why yes, of fireflies give off light? How can they withstand the heat generated by the light? That unique firefly! The light they produce light without heat are called luminescence.

Luminescence in the firefly's body produced by a substance called Luciferin. Well, this Luciferin substance combines with oxygen to give off light.

You know, even though the scientists had to create the same type of light produced by fireflies, scientists still have to take some elements of the firefly's body, because the chemists could not make such substances. It is still a mystery of nature until now.

Baby Fireflies

In adult fireflies, in addition to giving a warning sign of danger, light on his serve to draw attention to their partner. Not only adult fireflies, baby fireflies are still in the form of larvae also put out the light. Light on larval useful to warn other animals that would prey on them for not coming.

After the marriage, female fireflies will lay its eggs under the soil surface. The eggs will hatch into larvae after 3-4 weeks and will continue to be fed until the summer ends. After about 1-2 weeks from the end of summer, the larvae will turn into pupae, then turn into adult fireflies.

Being Lantern

As in some other animals, fireflies also has significance in some of the legends and culture. In Mayan mythology, fireflies are often associated with the star. The fireflies are also considered to represent the messengers in the temples of the Mayan Gods.

Ancient Chinese people often enter fireflies in a transparent box for later use as a lantern. While the Japanese culture and folklore, fireflies have the same meaning great as the famous Sakura flower.

Well, if you see a firefly in flight, fireflies are certainly male sex. Why so? Yes, because only male fireflies have wings, while the females stick to leaves and soil.

Let squalid, cockroach Apparently Powerful Eradicate the Super Germs

Just because life in the place dirty, cockroaches are often regarded as the mastermind of pure germs. Though this insect is actually very very hygienic. Cockroaches in fact contain potent chemicals that kill germs super (superbugs).

Quoted from the Telegraph, scientists from Nottingham University revealed that cockroaches have more health risks than benefits. Recent research on campus has proven that this insect contain deadly compounds to kill bacteria.



Tissue samples taken from the brain and nervous system cockroaches showed at least there are 9 contain compounds that are toxic or poisonous to the bacteria. The compound was even claimed to be able to kill up to 90 percent of super bacteria including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli.

Super bacteria that was a serious threat to world health in general, because the ability to mutate makes it more resistant to existing antibiotics that. Whereas the development of new antibiotics is not always easy, because sometimes even dangerous side effects patients.



But of the 9 compounds found in several species of cockroaches and other insects including grasshoppers, the researchers found no serious side effects for humans. Therefore, these findings have been regarded as providing new hope in an effort to control the growth and spread of superbugs.

This finding is also at the same time improve the image of the cockroach as insect that is always identified with dirty environment. And though life in the trash and sewage waste, including animal most hygienic cockroaches because diligently cleaned up like a cat.

Several studies have shown, far more bacteria living on human skin rather than on the surface of the body of a cockroach. Therefore, taking the food without washing hands is the same joroknya by eating food that has just passed a cockroach.

Even if there are health problems caused by cockroaches, the most responsible for the droppings. Several compounds in cockroach feces and urine contains compounds that can trigger allergic reactions for some people, a rash on the skin and other reactions including asthma attacks.

According to the Law of Physics, Miracles of the Prophet Moses In the Splitting of the Sea Wind Power Also Attended

Shocking news this time of Miracles Moses. The wind blew strong from the east who is rumored to help parting of the Red Sea by Moses, as written on religious scriptures Samawi, the scientists said the United States.

Computer simulations show how the wind can throw sea water to reach the ocean floor and form a lagoon, the group said researchers at the National Agency for Atmospheric Research and the University of Colorado at Boulder.

"Simulation is nearly matched evidence at the entourage of Moses," said study leader, Carl Drews from NCAR.

According to Carl, based on the science of physics, the wind can throw water into a safe path to cross because it is flexible, then flows back to normal.

According to the writings of Islamic and Christian holy book, Prophet Musa, peace. led the Jews out of Egypt and Pharaoh's pursuit of 3,000 years ago. Red Sea was split temporarily to help the group Moses pass and immediately closed again, drowning the Pharaoh's army.

Drews and his group studied the hurricanes originating from the Pacific Ocean that can create a big storm blew in deep-sea water.

His group showed that the area south of the Mediterranean Sea is believed to be the crossing, and describes different forms of land since formed thereafter and triggers the issue of the oceans are divided.

The exposure may take the form of a horseshoe of the River Nile and shallow lagoons along the coastline. This shows the wind speed about 101 miles per hour that blow over the past 12 hours, to throw water at a depth of about two meters.

"Laguna has as far as 3-4 miles long and five kilometers wide which split over four hours," they said in the journal Public Library of Science, PLoS ONE.

"People are amazed at the story has created division of the sea, imagining that it happened in reality," said Drew added that this study describes the marine division under the laws of physics.
