The worlds 4 fastest insects
A few nights ago the little monster (our 6 year old boy Aidan) was quizzing me about insects. You know the usual interrogation you get from an inquiring 6 year old mind.He was wanting to know what are the fastest insect s on the world (his words-not my bad grammar).
So here we have it.
The worlds fastest 4 insects.
I was pretty blown away when I looked in a few books to find these facts.
The world fastest insects in order
1.) The Dragon fly. It can zip along at 20.0 mph, 32.o km/hr
2.) The Hornet 13.39 mph, 21.5 km/hr
3.) The Horse fly 8.93 mph, 14.3 km/hr. I wouldn't have thought this was one of them, though they do freaking move like the wind when you try to KILL them because they bite Hard and leave huge welts on your ankles. I'm quite convinced that they live in the bottom of canoes
4.) The Bee 11.0 mph, 18.0 km/hr
Did you know that a bee could travel 4 million miles (6.5 million km's) on the energy it it would obtain from 1 gallon (4.5 liters) of nectar.
