Locusts are certain grasshopper species that can switch between two forms, unlike most grasshoppers.
When crowded, repeated touch triggers serotonin changes. They shift from a solitary phase (green, avoiding others) to a gregarious swarm phase.
In swarm form, they develop a more compact, stronger body, longer wings, stronger flight muscles, and yellow, black, and orange colors, and move in large groups. When populations drop and they become more isolated again, they can shift back toward the solitary form over time.

Earwigs are insects in the order Dermaptera. People have feared for hundreds of years that they crawl into human ears, but this is a myth.
They are mostly harmless to humans and not dangerous. Earwigs eat plants, decaying matter, and small insects. They are active at night and hide during the day in soil, under rocks, or in plants. Their pincers are used for defense and handling food. Around 2,000 species exist worldwide, on every continent except on Antarctica.

Leafcutter ants carry pieces of leaves back to their nests, not to eat, but to grow a special fungus they eat. Each colony can have millions of ants working together. They cut leaves with tiny, sharp jaws and organize themselves in complex “highways” to move them efficiently. The fungus is carefully tended, and some ants even produce antibiotics to protect it from harmful microbes.
Scientists say that this farming system has been running for millions of years, long before humans started agriculture.
