Did you know that,
- The longest insect, a walking stick, measured in at almost 22" long?
- An ant in captivity has lived for almost 29 years?
- The mayfly, on the other hand, lives for only 5 minutes past the point it reaches reproductive maturity?
Insects are one of the Earth's most common living things with 925,000 species. They have some crazy members of the family.
All these and more factoids can be found online at the Book of Insect Records.
