Cicada Pee Gun • If you ever see this run away immediately. This phenomenon is just a gang of cicadas taking a leak. • You see, cicadas have an insatiable thirst for the liquid flowing through a plant’s xylem system. To cobble together enough nutrients, each cicada must consume up to 300 times its body weight in xylem fluid daily, which means they have to pee a lot. • But cicadas don't just dribble droplets. They form a jet of liquid, which is more energy-efficient. Their relatively large body size allows them to expel jets without being overpowered by the liquid’s surface tension, unlike smaller insects. • It's like a mini water gun! And it’s not just about staying cool—these jets can also serve as a defense mechanism. When threatened, cicadas spray intruders with liquid waste! • #cicada #cicadapee #cicadaurinate #nature #naturefacts #amazingnature #interestingfacts #facts #trending #amazing #uniquefacts #animalshorts #insects
