Snails are slimy, slow-moving insect that are found throughout the world. They live in freshwater, in salt water, and on land. A snail’s body is basically a foot, a head, and a shell. A snail crawls along by wiggling its foot. As it does this, the snail’s body makes mucus that helps it move. This gross mucus leaves a trail of slime behind the snail wherever it goes! How slow is a snail? The garden snail is the world’s slowest insect. It moves at about .03 mile per hour (.05 km/h). At that speed, it would take a snail more than a day to go the length of a football field!

This caterpillar-eating frenzy is what immediately comes to mind when I first heard about Ultimate Tazer Ball. No, that was not a typo. Ultimate Tazer Ball. The players carry tasers, self-defense weapons, and zap each other as they fight over a 24” ball.

When thinking of how ants interact with trees, a lot of people may think of carpenter ants eating trees — and the wood in their home. In fact, in both our forests and houses, these denizens of hollow trees and rotting rafters are merely the final stage of a lifelong relationship between trees and many kinds of ants. Take a closer look at the many healthy seedlings, saplings and trees near your home. Anywhere you look, you will probably find a worker of one of the many ant species associated with the trees in our forests. Follow her back to her nest, and you’ll start to learn about the intertwined lives of ants and trees.

It’s that time of year and love is in the air. When thinking about love and luck, the last thing most people think about is insects; however, there is one little creature that is commonly referred to as bearers of good luck, good fortune, and future prosperities. Positive vibes have always surrounded the ladybug, and across many different cultures, these tiny insects are frequently connected with love and prosperity. They have even been known to “tell your future love life.” Regardless of the rumors, ladybugs have always been a topic of misconception when it comes to love.
