We’ve got a new pond which must be half a mile away from the nearest lake/river yet frogs and toads have populated it almost immediately. How do they know where to find these new habitats?
In: Biology
Insects and some animals take notice of polarized light which is what happens when light reflects off of a body of water especially at night. A full moon over a still pond becomes like a beacon to them. This is how mosquitoes know where to lay their eggs.
