Whenever you see a small fly or bug get submerged in water they struggle to move and often die. So how does a bit of surprise rain not wipe out a lot of these bugs?
In: Biology
Bugs aren’t so fragile that a raindrop landing on them will kill them. Flying insects get knocked out of the air. So they hunker down and hide until it stops raining. Those that get caught get stuck in surface tension and if they can hold their breath long enough, escape once water evaporates.
