Why are animal weathermen "weathermen"?

Animal meteorologists are sensitive to some weather changes and can predict the weather. For example:

1, Dragonfly: Dragonfly flies low, it's raining.

2. Spiders: Spiders spin webs and the weather turns fine; Spiders take in their nets, it's raining.

3. Cicada: In the hot summer, cicadas sing and the weather is fine.

Frog: In spring and summer, frogs bark loudly, and it will rain soon.

Animal weather forecasting method

Spider forecast weather method-when it rains, if the air pressure rises, the humidity decreases and insects fly high, spiders will open their nets to catch it, indicating 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."

Frog forecast weather method-in spring and summer, frogs cry loudly and intensively, which indicates that it will rain soon. The proverb says, "When a toad shouts, it must be raining heavily".

Ant forecast weather method-ants come out of holes in groups, which indicates shanghai dawn. As the saying goes, "ants are swarming, it won't be sunny tomorrow."

Pinus massoniana weather forecast method-Pinus massoniana seeds can forecast the weather. On sunny days, the mucus on the scales of Pinus massoniana seeds dries and hardens and extends outward; Before it rains, the scales soften and gradually close.

The weather forecast method for chickens-before it rains, the air pressure is low and the humidity is high, insects fly close to the ground, chickens need to find insect food, the cage is stuffy, and chickens don't want to enter the cage. As the saying goes, "chickens are worried about the rain, ducks are worried about the wind."

Termites forecast weather method-in spring and summer, when the weather is sultry, termites fly out of caves to carry out activities. I didn't know the way back to the cave at night, so I jumped at the light, which indicated that it would rain heavily or thunderstorm in a day or two.
