Word on the street

The child’s playful eyes look up as she stand in front of a poster. Her little fingers shake as she tries to overcome her shyness while standing there alone on her own. She was getting ready for her picture to be taken, but she seemed as if she’s ready to take on the world!

They’re actually not flies—they’re beetles and like all other beetles, they have strong forewings.

Fireflies use the forewings—also called elytra—for balance.

A firefly’s glow is a chemical reaction which makes them light up and shiny In some places still, fireflies flash together.

A few firefly species are also carnivorous as adults. They don’t eat snails, they eat fireflies of other kinds.

Their light is the most efficient light in the world. Nearly hundred percent of the energy in the chemical reaction is given as light.

As a larva, they eat earthworms, snails and slugs. As an adult, they eat pollen or other insects.

Cats get energy by sleeping for an average of 13 to14 hours a day.

Cats have powerful night vision, allowing them to see at light levels six times lower than what a human needs in order to see.

Older cats can at times act angrily towards kittens.

On average cats live for around 12 to 15 years.

Cats spend a large amount of time licking their coats to keep them clean.

Cats do not have a strong collarbone like many mammals.

This is why they are able to squeeze through small spaces.
