What animal is watching the weather forecast?

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."

Frog weather forecast method

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".

Ant forecast weather method

Ants came out of the hole in droves, which indicated that heavy rain was coming. As the saying goes, "ants are in droves, and tomorrow will not be sunny."

Weather forecast method of Pinus massoniana

Pinus massoniana seeds can predict 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.

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 want to find insect food, cages are stuffy, and chickens don't want to get into cages. As the saying goes, "chickens are worried about the rain, ducks are worried about the wind."

Termite weather forecasting method

In spring and summer, when the weather is sultry, termites will fly out of the cave. 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.

There are also many animals that have the ability to recognize things. Animals such as bees, pigs, sheep, chickens, turtles and ants can all know the weather changes.

If pigs pull weeds in the morning, it will rain after 36 hours; Picking grass after noon indicates rain in 20 hours. As night falls, the sheep don't want to go home. They just bow their heads and eat grass. They not only eat for a long time, but also don't like walking, which indicates that it will rain tomorrow. As dusk approaches, the chickens refuse to put on the shelves, walking around the ground, foraging and shaking their feathers from time to time, which indicates that it will rain soon.

Cold-blooded animals-turtles can accurately predict thunderstorms in summer and late spring and early autumn. Before the rain, the water vapor in the air increased greatly, and the tortoise shell with fast heat dissipation condensed into tiny water droplets. Therefore, the turtle's back is wet, and it is likely to rain soon. Before it rained, ants kept digging holes and moving around them. The heavier the rain, the higher its nest. There is also a yellow silk ant that rarely nests. It usually moves before it rains. The higher it moves, the heavier the rain. Sometimes we will see ants crawling up the tree in droves, which also indicates that it will rain soon.

Among them, bees have the strongest cognitive ability to the weather, and they can quickly respond to various changes in the weather. For example, in the morning, I saw a large number of bees scrambling to fly out of the hive to collect, which indicates that today is sunny; If the bees come back to the box late at night, it means that the weather will continue to be fine tomorrow; If bees don't leave the box in the morning, leave the box less, or stay in the hive for a long time, it indicates rainy weather. During the day, if bees are found to suddenly jump back into the nest abnormally, many bees will rush into the nest and rarely or never leave the nest. Sometimes, a few bees are found poking around the door of the nest, which indicates that the weather will change suddenly. If bees leave their nests to collect honey in the drizzle after continuous rain, it indicates that the rain will end and the weather will clear up. Therefore, there are proverbs such as "bees will clear up when they leave their nests", "bees will rain if they don't go out to work" and "bees will clear up when they collect honey in the rain".

So, why are bees so sensitive to weather changes? It turns out that the front and rear wings of bees are very thin and easy to fly. Bees are used to flying in sunny weather and high pressure. Before the rain, due to the increase of water content in the atmosphere, high humidity and low air pressure, bees are easy to get wet by tiny water droplets, gain weight, make their wings soft and heavy, slow down the frequency of flapping their wings, and have difficulty flying, so they have to stay in the hive. In addition, judging from the situation of honey collection by bees, it is also closely related to the weather. Sunny, warm and windless weather. It can make the nectaries of flowers secrete a lot of sweet juice, give off a strong floral fragrance, and attract bees to collect it. So we can predict the short-term weather changes by observing the regular activities of bees.
