What things in nature can predict the weather?

ladybird

Ladybugs can be found everywhere in Eurasia and North America. They are extremely sensitive to seasonal climate change. Ladybugs are cold-blooded animals. Once the temperature reaches12-13 C, they will get together. Therefore, some people use them as a guide to temperature rise.

sheep

Like cattle, sheep can feel subtle changes in the environment. Sudden changes in temperature, humidity and air pressure will cause their anxiety.

caterpillar

It is said that if the brown band on the caterpillar's back is wide, it means warm winter, but if the black on the caterpillar's back covers most areas, it indicates that it will be severe winter.

ant

Ants have explored a series of schemes to prevent rain from infiltrating into their nests, but they rely on the fact that they can predict when it will rain. They built a very high anthill, and in some cases, they would put a door panel or big pebbles there.

cow

In the past, farmers were very concerned about weather changes, because the weather was a crucial issue. In the past thousands of years, people predicted the weather by observing the reaction of poultry, but later people had to admit that cows did not have the ability to predict the weather, and finally gave up this prediction method.

In the pasture, cattle are the product of society. However, grazing is likely to be related to climatic conditions. When the storm comes, a group of cows will gather together to keep warm.

Cows' perception of weather conditions can also be expressed through other habits, such as becoming restless because of changes in air pressure.
