Its funny to think about when we have microscopes that let us see the fundamental building blocks of the universe, but when it comes to insect physiology and how their brains work we know very little.For instance, studies have lead to the theory that Bees most likely do have emotions. It was a simple study, done using Blue Flowers and the fact that Bees still kept a "heightened state" around the color blue when they started to associate it with food. But it doesnt stop there: there were also studies done on Ant colonies regarding their sleep schedules and we came to find that Carpenter Fire Ant Queens sleep for about the same amount of time as us humans, just in lots of little naps. But the interesting part of that one is not just how much they sleep but how. Scientists observed the Ants antenna twitching very similarly to our eyes during REM sleep, leading to the theory that Ants might dream. One last fun tidbit: Jumping Spiders are opportunistic pack hunters. They spend most of their life solitary, but are known to hunt together in mated pairs, becoming extremely effective together with the smaller Male often distracting the prey while the Female pounces. The odd part comes from the fact that they appear to communicate before hunts via a "language" done through foot stamping to plan. Not only that but Jumping Spiders are one of the few insects that display an understanding of Object Permanence, ranking them at least a little above an infant (not that that is saying much).At the end of the day, we have so much going on below our feet. Entire little lives that we know so little about. Its an interesting and vibrant world.EDIT By popular demand, things I should have included to begin with (the all important sources):Bees and EmotionAnts and Dreaming (My apologies, it was Fire Ants, not CarpentersJumping Spiders and Object PermanenceWhich, when trying to find my old sources funnily enough brought me to a new (to me) study that Jumping Spiders might also dream

Allanon 🇮🇹 :amiga:Fighting against <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/bot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bot</a> all the day. Yesterday, editing a page on my site I noticed a temporary block of a couple of minutes, after investigations my web site server has reported an abnormal use of the available resources and I found out that <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/crawlers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crawlers</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/spiders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spiders</a> was sucking my server resources so I started a journey to <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/ban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ban</a> ip addresses, let's see what happens. These pests must be stopped.

SAM - Jetzt neu mit ✨ AI ✨Wisst ihr, was ganz cool ist. Wenn man sich selbst aus seiner Angst vor Spinnen rauszieht und sich mit Spinnen anfreundet und dann jeden Frühling bis Herbst massig Möglichkeiten hat, gute Spinnen zu sehen und/oder fotografieren.

The surprise find so far has been the lizard team's discovery of redback spiders on the university's Mount Grand high country station.These are Australian venomous spiders related to black widows and NZ's katipō.
