Well, it's difficult to say that I've got favourite insect. But, I can say that gnat is the most interesting insect I've ever seen.
First of all, I have to notice that this tiny insect can bring you a lot of inconveniences.
It can make a terrible noise. Which is very annoying.
Some people try to kill gnat when they hear this noise. Well, only agile person can do it.
because, it's very complicated to catch it. Moreover it's very bad. If you try to kill gnat, imagine that you are a gnat. And someone tryes to kill YOU. I consider that you stop doing it.
To conclude I'd like to say, that it's very complicate to say that gnat is my favourite insect, but I feel a pity to gnats.
<span>Olga Spiridonova Гуру (2800) 4 года назад<span>When I was younger, I loved visiting the local zoo. All the animals seemed to be mysterious and happy, each in it's own way. I couldn't stop thinking about where they came from, what they did in the wild and what they ate. I would look at the huge, gleaming teeth of the lions and tigers and imagine their power and might and be in awe of them completely. The crocodiles would sleep peacefully in the sunshine, seemingly harmless, but their lean, muscular bodies gave a scary reminder of their power.
However, one area of the zoo held a special fascination for me; the reptile house. The variety of their sizes, colours and behaviour were a source of wonder and fantasy for me. Their big, bulging eyes and sleek skin transported me to the age of dinosaurs as I crouched by their cages to get a closer look at them.
Of course, as well as the animals, the zoo was a place for other special treats. The candy floss, the ice creams and fizzy drinks were the end of a perfect day for a curious child.
Now, my opinion about zoos has changed. Although life in the wild presents challenges and dangers for all animals, it has to be preferred to being a prisoner in a cage and a money making tool for greedy owners.</span></span>
Biologist Alexander Fleming was in such a hurry to rest that he left a bunch of dirty Petri dishes piled in the sink in his laboratory. When he returned from vacation on September 3, 1928, he noticed a Cup with a culture of Staphylococcus – it turned out that it was all covered with colonies of bacteria, except for one place where there was a piece of mold. So quite by chance he learned that penicillin can kill bacteria. Thanks to sloppiness, people got one of the most widely used antibiotics.

Биолог Александр Флеминг так спешил на отдых, что оставил кучу грязных чашек петри, сваленных в раковине в своей лаборатории. Когда он вернулся из отпуска 3 сентября 1928 года, то обратил внимание на чашку с культурой стафилококка – оказалось, что она вся была покрыта колониями бактерий, за исключением одного места, где был кусочек плесени. Так совершенно случайно он узнал, что пенициллин может убивать бактерии. Благодаря разгильдяйству, люди получили один из самых широко используемых антибиотиков.
