How high can bugs go in the sky
Welcome everybody
As I promised my sister 2cool in my previous thread here is a description about the INSECTS in the sky
Insects are not just flying or walking or crawling around us
They could go up in the sky, even if they don't have wings
And they go really high, especially in summer days
.Scientists have discovered that air can carry insects to about 3,000 feet (914 meters) or more
Flies (ذباب)
and butterflies (فرشات)
have been found at the height of 5,000 feet - 1524 meters
and you can find also aphids (قملة النبات)
midges (الناموس)
and wasps (الدبابير).
Beetles (الخنافس)
and ladybirds (الدعسوقة)
can be found at the height of 6,000 feet - 1829 meters
On 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) we will find the male gypsy moth (ذكر العثة)
more than that, at 13,000 feet (3962 meters) we can see
spiders (عناكب)
floating in the air holding a thread
The highest living insect ever recorded was
a termite (نمل أبيض)
at the height of 19,000 feet - 5791 meters
Some British scientists tried to count the number of insects in a space of the radius 0.6 mile - 0.965 km
They found that there are: 3 Billion insects in that area
