Which animals are meteorologists?

Animal meteorologists include spiders, frogs, nettles, butterflies, swallows, magpies and so on.

1, spider

On rainy days, if the air pressure increases and the humidity decreases, insects fly high and spiders open their nets to catch them, which indicates that the weather will clear up. On the contrary, the spider closes its net, which indicates that it will rain. As the saying goes, "spiders weave webs, and after the rain, it clears up."

2. Frogs

In spring and summer, frogs cry loudly and densely, which indicates that it will rain soon. The proverb says, "When a toad shouts, it must be raining heavily".

3, nettle butterfly

Nettle butterflies are very sensitive to wind and rain. A few hours before the storm, when the sky was not covered by dark clouds, nettle butterflies had been hiding in quiet corners such as branches and tree holes. Sometimes the storm has passed, but it still can't escape. Sure enough, the storm will come again soon.

4.swallow

An agricultural proverb says: Swallows fly close to the ground and take raincoats when they go out. Whenever it rains, the air humidity increases, and insects fly very low because of the wet wings. Swallows have to fly low to fill their stomachs. Therefore, people knew it was going to rain as soon as they saw the swallows flying low and catching food in a hurry.

5. Magpie

Magpies also have the ability to predict the weather. The ancient book "Bird Classic" said that it "sings, it is sunny; Bowing your head is cloudy. " In the morning, if the magpies sing beautifully, they jump and call, which means the weather is fine; If it flies from one branch to another, it means it will rain.
