Insect-O-Fact #1
Diapause: It is currently harvest time throughout The Underground. Throughout the land insects of all breeds are preparing themselves for the Great Chill. Gathering as much food and supplies as possible, concerning themselves only with the coming change of season.During the Great Chill (winter) many insects go into a state of hibernation called ‘diapause’. While in this state, Ladybugs in particular will feed on their stored body fat. The harvest is very important then, because it gives the Ladybugs enough sustenance to survive the long hard winter.
Insect-O-Fact #2
“Beetles”: This one’s for my family! Did you know that the Ladybug is actually a form of beetle? In fact, beetles make up the largest order of living things with about 290,000 species known worldwide. And NO, that does NOT include all of my ‘Beedle’ family members here in the Windsor area! Beedle family? Bug comic? Coincidence? Purely!
Yay bugs!
