Weird Facts
For every person on the earth, there are two hundred million insects. More insects can be found in only ten square feet of rainforest than there are people in Manhattan. One square mile of rural land can hold more insects than there are human beings on Earth.
Each year, insects eat about a third of the world's food crops.
Over 900,000 known species of insects exist throughout the world.
Each year the average person will "eat" several insects while they are sleeping. During the average lifetime, a person consumes about seventy insects and ten spiders during their sleep. According to some sources, beetles have a taste that is similar to apples while wasps taste like pine nuts.
An ant is capable of lifting fifty times its own weight and is capable pulling thirty times its own weight.
The most dangerous ant in the world is the black bulldog ant. It lives in Australia and has killed several human beings. When provoked, it stings and bites at the same time.
There are about a million ants per person. Ants are very social animals and will live in colonies that can contain almost 500,000 ants.
Mosquitoes have forty-seven teeth. They do not use these to bite, however. Instead, they have a proboscis, which is a tubular appendage.
Mosquitoes are more likely to bite children than adults, blonde-haired people rather than brown-haired people, and people wearing dark clothing. They are also attracted to people who just ate bananas or finished exercising. This is because foods high in potassium and exercising cause your body to release lactic acid, which is attractive to mosquitoes.
Dragonflies are capable of flying sixty miles per hour, making them one of the fastest insects. This is good since they are in a big hurry, as they only live about twenty-four hours.
Flies jump backwards during takeoff.
The rhinoceros beetle is the strongest animal and is capable of lifting 850 times its own weight.
Butterflies have taste sensors in their feet and taste their food by standing on it. Although all species of butterflies have six legs, some keep their front legs tucked up under their body most of the time.
The butterfly was originally called the "flutterby."
The praying mantis is capable of turning its head 360 degrees. It is the only insect that can do this. It is also the only animal on Earth with only one ear.
Aphids are born pregnant and can give birth when they are only ten days old.

PHOTOGRAPHER FRIENDS: I need your help!
PHOTOGRAPHER FRIENDS: I need your help! I'm trying to decide between the Canon 24mm 1.4L lens and the Canon 50mm 1.2L.
If you've been following any of my work, you know that I primarily like to photograph landscapes/ street, and will occasionally dabble in portraiture. I've always been particular to wide-angle lens, but the 50mm lens is so attractive because of that butter-smooth bookeh.
So which one should it be? Any tips will be greatly appreciated. :D
