Funny holidays - House Insect Day

Entomologists, beekeepers and silkworm breeders celebrate an unusual holiday at the beginning of spring They are joined by owners of other species of arthropods who, following modern fashion, keep Madagascar cockroaches, butterflies and ants Few people can be surprised by silkworms in a human home, unlike tarantula spiders that live in terrariums March 9 is the Day of Domestic Insects - arthropods that live side by side with people In a private home you can find spiders, ants and flycatchers that are harmless to humans Centipedes also grow in damp areas of the apartment And if exotic scolopendras are specially purchased for breeding in terrariums, then cockroaches, ground beetles, clothes moths and ticks are unwelcome guests Just like the book louse, which grows in stacks of paper, or woodlice, which destroys house plants One cricket, accidentally flying into the window, pleasantly diversifies leisure time with its trill, although it disturbs sleep at night But their population, settled in the house, poses a real danger, destroying clothing and food Man has long cultivated wild bees Mulberry worms were domesticated in China 3,000 years before our era These insects, entomophages, bring obvious benefits, so hives are built for them and incubators are created to produce silk thread Other types of arthropods, although they repel people with their appearance, are no less important for maintaining the balance of the forces of nature Centipedes hunt flies, spitting spiders hunt crickets, worms, grasshoppers and cockroaches Therefore, their appearance in the house often brings more benefit than harm Humans have always had an interest in exotic species of insects that cannot be found under normal living conditions For some they evoke disgust and disgust, while for others they evoke undisguised interest and a desire to study the peculiarities of their life and reproduction Today, pet stores offer products that solve the problem of keeping ants, giant cockroaches and tarantulas at home On sale there are insectariums, lamps for heating terrariums, soil for them, food, etc All this satisfies both research interest and the craving of some arthropod owners for extravagance Pet Insect Day is a holiday that pays tribute not only to their owners, but also to the bees themselves, silkworms, Madagascar spiders, tropical cockroaches and praying mantises March 9 is celebrated by owners of colonies of ants, butterflies and mulberry worms, who understand that their charges are an important link in the natural chain of species The absence of these living organisms will lead to disruption of the biogeocenosis of a particular area and more global negative consequences
