water boatmen

I read the other day that apparently water boatmen are the noisiest creatures on earth for thier size.99.8 decibels which the scientists say is equivalent to listening to a very loud orchestra on the front row.The noise they make is a mateing call where by they 'rub thier genitals on thier abdomen'.Sorry i know it's early in the morning....but i just thought it was an interesting/odd fact to share !!!

 

You read the "Sun" too much

 

If you've ever hear Cicada's they take some beating.

 

Reminds me of a labourer that used to work for me.

 

Honestly it was on ceefax....Hope it's true because i've told the world and his wife...I thought i was really clever taking in all the facts...
ok so everyone looked at me as though i was nuts including Mr Lolimac....i thought it was interesting in a weird sort of way !!!!!

 

I think it's amazing that they swim upside-down and when they want to move on, they break through the surface of the water and fly off!

 

Armandii....you're taking the 'mick' again....Hee..Hee...you tinker !!!

 

Oh thank GOD men can't do that!!!

 

Swim upside down or rub their genitals on there abdomen

 

The noisy bit.......
