No, it’s not a raindrop — it’s a small spider that then ventures into the void, seeking a new life far from its nest before the storm begins. This is what happens on a massive scale when a shower of spiders falls to the ground.
Have you ever noticed how insects seem to get bigger in certain parts of the world? Take Australia and the Amazon rainforest, for example. They’re notorious for having some of the largest and creepiest crawlies around. What’s the deal with these hotspots of insect activity? Warmth plays a part in insect growth, but it’s not the only factor at play. You won’t get bugs that large out in the desert, for instance, despite the heat. The real secret lies in their access to water. In tropical and subtropical environments, there’s usually plenty of moisture to go around, which means a year-round supply of delicious snacks.

Whether you have an indoor or outdoor pest problem, a rodent or insect infestation, or need a safe and natural pest control solution, you can find them all in this article.

Right now, it’s hunting for signs of ancient life in the Jezero crater. That’s a 28-mile-wide impact crater. It was likely once filled with water. While trekking across the crater’s floor, the rover spotted several surprising things. One of them was a weird purple coating on a few rocks. It was strangely similar to rock varnish formed by microbes on our planet.

The animal kingdom is full of tales and stories. And each creature holds facts and myths that can sometimes be difficult to look past. We always assume owls are wise and that dolphins are happy animals who enjoy entertaining humans. All these stereotypes are based on ancient cultures, kids’ stories, or cartoons, but many of them have no basis in truth.
If you are wondering why bugs and other pests pay your bathroom a visit, it’s because of all the moisture. And when we’re talking about the toilet seat, in particular, many people fail to clean it consistently and in detail. Flushing isn’t enough, since there is the residue left behind and that is enough to attract all the wrong guests.
The Harry Potter film series, that is loved by so many people, actually hides a lot of secrets. This is partly due to the fact that some scenes were mercilessly removed during the final editing, and because of that, we missed many important and funny moments.
Scientists claim that a fear of failure tops the list of things most people are afraid of. Being afraid of doing something wrong turned out to be even stronger than a fear of spiders. But there are people who fail so gracefully and without any fear, that we could probably learn a lesson or 2 from them. And today we made them the heroes of our article.
We all tend to think that our houses are completely bug-free, but this is probably not the case. A study found that over 100 kinds of different bugs live in an average home. No need to worry though, the majority of those are harmless and so small that we have no chance of finding out that they are even there. On the other hand, the insects that bring destruction or carry disease might also be hard to spot.
Our world is diverse and complicated, which is why it’s impossible to know about everything. We can be wrong about some things, which oftentimes causes feelings of confusion, especially when it comes to the simple stuff. That’s why they say, “Live and learn,” because even at 50, one might change their understanding of life, turning things upside down.
Some people say that in Australia, everything wants to kill you: scary spiders, strong kangaroos, and snakes right under your feet. These may just be silly stereotypes but some of these things are also true. However, there are a lot of cute things in this beautiful country too.
Nature is always ready to bring some adorableness into our lives and put smiles on our faces when we need it most — and the bearded reedling does just that. It’s very easy to recognize this bird since it’s just one small ball of fluffiness with really cool markings on its face. This little guy is officially one of our favorites and we wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes popular among our readers as well.
Spiders that look like crabs, fish camouflaged to appear invisible, or even fish that can fly, are just some of the wonders of mother nature. Whether it’s escaping predators or courting a female, some animals have developed such extraordinary bodies and adaptations over time that they could make any plastic surgeon jealous.
As my dog Tilly and I set off on our indefinite van adventure I had no idea it would be the most challenging but rewarding experience of our lives. Of my life. We headed west and followed Highway 1, which completes an entire lap of Australia. “Vincent Van Go,” the name given to my van by a friend, became our shelter from the harsh Australian heat and a place for new and old friends to share stories — it was our home. It became a place filled with amazing memories, heart-warming laughter, music — both man-made and from nature, and also soul-healing tears. My name is Ash, and this is the story of my van trip around the strikingly beautiful countryside of Australia.

Have you ever wondered how to get rid of the annoying bugs that live in your house? We all want to keep our houses pest-free, but the chemical pesticides we can get from stores are way too toxic and harmful to use anywhere near your home, family, and pets.

But as it turns out, nature has a lot of other tricks up its sleeve like lakes that disappear overnight, raining fish and other amazing things that are so scary and impressive, people often try to provide explanations for them that are far from correct.
