Ants, June Bugs, and Cassiopeia: not much in common. Though they are all unique in their own way.
(My Dad took this last night :~)
A few interesting things:
- Ants are a close relative of bees and wasps.
- Some of the common Ants in the New England have herds of aphids. They "milk" the aphids for a substance called "Honeydew".
- Ants of the same colony never fight. But if there is another colony or species they will fight over slaves, food or territory.
- Adult June Bugs feed mostly on leaves. They've been found on oaks, elms, ashes, walnuts, and more. Different subspecies prefer different types of trees.
- There are 4 stages of the June Bug: egg, larvae, pupae, and adult. Eggs, larva, and pupa stay underground for almost a year.
- They are also known as June Beetles, May Bugs, and May Beetles.
- Cassiopeia is near the Big Dipper in the night sky.
- She is named after a Greek Myth. The myth itself is rather depressing, in case you want to know.
- She is shaped in a "W"!
