sounds unpleasant. But believe me, I’m healthier for the ecosystem than any anti-mosquito spray. Mayfly and dragonfly larvae, water bugs, small crustaceans, tadpoles and even fish fry - I'll eat them all if they're too self-confident. But my favorite dish is mosquito larvae. So if you suddenly meet me near the shore, relax. I am always busy with work: I regulate the number of small aquatic creatures and try to prevent the bloodsuckers from feeling too at ease. And I only eat people in horror stories and headlines. — We directly feel how our audience’s attitude towards you is changing - from a terrible monster to a protector. Sorry for the indiscreet question, but how are you doing with reproduction? We are sure that after reading this, everyone would now like to see more water scorpions! - We approach this issue practically - the result is more important than the process. In April-May, when the water gets warmer, we actively look for a mate and enter into short-term relationships. The female then lays several batches of eggs on the algae. The baby hatches at the beginning of summer, after which it immediately begins to actively terrorize the entire local fauna. They are not even shy about eating each other! This is understandable, because before autumn they need to grow as quickly as possible and shed as many as 5 times. Afterwards they will be considered adults and next year they will also be able to take part in raising the demography of our species. — We mentioned before that you populated almost all the bodies of water in the world, with the exception of the very cold polar regions. What helped you become so successful? Three factors played a role here: indiscriminate eating, excellent hunting skills and... flight! Yes, don't look at me like that, water scorpions really can fly. Here, look at my wings! We don’t really like this business, but if our native lake suddenly dries up, then it doesn’t cost us anything to look for a new body of water. This is how they slowly populated the entire planet. But for you people, this makes it even better. Have you already seen our new cartoon, where the water scorpion plays the leading role? If not, then watch it soon! Among the heaps of modern AI videos, this is just a find - both funny and educational.
