Still Waters Posted October 30, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Sometimes insects show signs of monster behavior. It's nothing personal to us humans and let me assure you that this behavior has nothing to do with full moons or anything that may live under your bed at night. Sometimes an insect's monster behavior is nothing more than the result of good old-fashioned circumstances. According to scientists in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service, the genus Calyptra Ochsenheimer (Calyptra) includes species commonly known as Vampire Moths—named simply for their ability to pierce flesh and feed on mammal blood. https://phys.org/news/2020-10-scary-insects-halloween-bloodthirsty-calyptra.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calyptra_(moth) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
