None of the fairyfly species exhibit any signs of courtship. A female is reportedly fertilized by just one male, according to observations. Different species have displayed minor mating peculiarities. It is typical for the female fairyfly to outnumber the male in a brood by a ratio of about 20 to 1 in species like Prestwichia Aquatica, Anaphes nipponicus, and Anagrus armatus. Additionally, some species have an inversed sex ratio, as is the case with Polynema striation.

Prepare to be met by a swarm of unique twin-humped Bactrian camels as you travel through Ladakh's Nubra valley. The Gobi desert is home to these twin-humped Bactrian camels. Another fascinating feature of these camels is that they can survive in temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Rorschach felt that the results of his test may reveal a person's psychological condition. Those who ruminate on details may see more pictures in motion, whereas creative types may experience more images in motion. Depressed people were reported to be unconcerned by the introduction of color, whilst "neurotics" were said to be disturbed by the abrupt burst of red. Teenagers were the only people he believed the test failed to examine because they had too many characteristics with the seriously crazy.

You are reducing air pollution for everyone by keeping your automobile at home. By avoiding congested main routes when you're walking, you can make it safer for yourself.

We used to think that stress caused sores in your stomach that doesn’t heal. We now know that prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®), or naproxen (Aleve®), can interfere with stomach mucus.

Ulcers result when stomach acid reaches the lining, and when they bleed they can cause pain and even be life-threatening.

A bacterium called Helicobacter pylori, or H. pylori, also can cause ulcers. An Australian doctor proved this by drinking the bacteria himself, and he and his colleague won a Nobel prize for the discovery.

Our smartphones may be an important part of our everyday lives. Still, this handy technology may be hiding a not-so-great surprise after all. A study of mobile phones used by secondary school pupils found that they were significantly infected with potentially dangerous germs. According to experts, cell phones, in fact, contain 10 times more germs than most toilet seats.

Speaking of the pyramids, I always thought that they were built by slaves. It wasn’t until visiting Cairo that I learned that the pyramids were in fact built by proper laborers. Archaeological discoveries proved that there were purpose-built villages to house the workers and they were fed and treated well. The things you learn when you travel fill our little heads with tons of fun facts!

Here's a rather contentious DC fact! Diana's romantic interests included both men and women when she was created in 1941. It's understandable when your identity is defined by your struggle with love and you're from an island populated entirely by women. Her creator, William Moulton Marston, was particularly inspired by his polyamorous situation. By the way, this was in 1940, when homosexuality was illegal.

The official language of Vatican City is Italian, which is used for all official issues. Although Italian is the lingua franca, the Holy See utilises Latin as its official language.

San Marino is the world's fifth-smallest country, behind Monaco, the Vatican city-states, and the island countries of Tuvalu and Nauru. San Marino has a population of 33,562 people and a land area of slightly more than 61 km2 (24 sq mi).

Surgery is used to treat hernias. And mesh is typically used during surgery, which frequently raises questions from my patients. I explain to them that the mesh is not in contact with their internal organs because it is positioned outside of the belly cavity. The goal of the mesh is to encourage the growth of scar tissue within the mesh so that it forms a reinforcing layer over the weakest area.

There is a common misconception that writers are lonely, maladjusted introverts who dislike interacting with others.

Or, to be more specific, an auroch. These meaty bovines are now extinct, but their image lives on in Moldova's flag, which includes an auroch's head mounted on a shield (which is presumably why they're gone, since they continued placing them on shields). The country's biggest football stadium, Zimbru Stadium, gets its name from the Romanian word for bison.

Ayurveda, India's ancient medical system, divides food into three categories: Satvic, Rajasic, and Tamasic. Satvic food is made up of all natural and minimally processed ingredients, such as vegetables, and is thought to have a positive, calming, and purifying effect on the body and mind. Rajasic food is spicy, oily, salty, or bitter, and it fuels ambition, competition, and egotistical desires. Tamasic food is highly processed, toxic, and difficult to digest, and it has a negative impact on both the mind and the body.

Pirates from The Bahamas had their flags custom-made by a sailmaker's widow who accepted brandy as payment, while Blackbeard had his own black flag with a skeleton with horns.
