  • THE ONLY COCKROACHES YOU SEE ARE THE ONES WITH ATTITUDE

    14 Sep 2010 by Jasmine Stone in World

    A study published in scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B suggests comes right out and claims that each and every bug on this planet (insects, arachnids and otherwise) enjoys its own individual personality.

    This from Discovery News:

    Some individual bugs, like humans, turn out to be shy, while others are very forceful, determined the study…

    “Boldness, explorativeness, activity and aggressiveness are the main personality traits usually measured because these connect to each other and appear together,” lead author Eniko Gyuris told Discovery News.

    “I think nearly every individual — insects and other organisms alike — has his or her own personality, with the possible exception of the ones living in very specific and stable habitats for a long time, like a cave, for example, as they may not need to behave in different ways among conspecifics,” Gyuris explained.

    Well, we always knew that organisms that live in caves – humans included – have limited personality.

    But this is my favourite quote.

    A brazen male bug that may be hearty and popular with females due to boldness, for example, could display aggressive behavior around an annoyed human and get squished in the process.

    Frigging great. You mean all of the bugs we see are the bold, aggressive ones?

    Someone call Doom. This is going to do wonders for their marketing. Bold, haughty insects. Not scary, not one bit.

    Who’s watched Honey I Shrunk the Kids?
