convinced that these “planned attacks” were not part of my puerile imagination. Therefore, I have formulated a theory to explain the behavior: Walkingsticks lack wings, and their six spindly legs provide limited mobility. In combination with their great fecundity, such intense concentrations of the insects must in fact be due to their restricted mobility. So, their intentional air attacks are actually a means for dispersal of the species. A deer or bear passing through the area wouldn’t notice the extra fraction of a gram that dropped on its back, and the skydiving walkingstick would get a free ride, to repopulate a distant rid get op!
Next week, cicadas, ladybugs, and leafminers.
