Mysterious
Troll-Haired Insect Discovered In South American Rainforest
People
have discovered a new creature in the South America. This insect was amongst the 60 new creatures found by ecologists on an expedition to South America's Suriname rainforest in 2012. It
was measure 7 mm with gold body with orange dots and stripes. This insect is
special because of it distinct hair that was like the popular toys and was made
of wax from its body. Scientist are not sure what was the purpose of the hair,
they believed that it is use to distract predators into attacking the wrong
part of the body. When the predator try to grab the insect the wax will fall
off and the insect jumps away.
In
my opinion this is a really cool insect that we discover. It is interesting
that the insect looks like the doll that we made, and this insect is found in
nature. Now people can learn about it more and test what is can do? What it
eat? People are also learning more about the Earth and place we have not discovered
yet. This can help people be more existing to learn more about the South
American rainforest and go deeper, to discover new thing or animals.
