Did you know?

The insect world seems to be full of crazy creatures with creepy habits. Check out these strange insect facts and cool dino jokes below!

The amazing insect world:

	A queen bee can lay more than 2000 eggs per day – that’s about one every 40 seconds
	A female mosquito can beat its wings 500 times per second. WOW!
	As many as 30,000 honeybees live in a hive. Most of them are female.
	Flies like hanging around cows for three reasons; to drink their tears, lay eggs in their nostrils and drink blood from their ears. Yuck!

And now for the funny stuff...
