How do bug zappers work?

Bug zappers contain 3 main parts: A transformer, Metal grids, and a light. Bug zappers typically use UV lights to attract bugs at night because bugs can see UV much better than other visible light and obviously they are naturally drawn to it. When the bug approaches the light an electrical arc is created across the bug which vaporizes the bug when it flies between two grids of metal spaced very thinly apart. In order to achieve such high voltages that can cause an arc the bug zapper contains a transformer that steps the voltage up from 120V to around 2,000V or more.

How do gnats get into the refrigerator and freezer?

If the refrigerator and freezer have been working properly, it would be extremely unusual to have gnats in both. I can think of a few possibilities:

# The freezer and refrigerator have been turned off for a while. (gaskets loosen) # Someone leaves the doors open way too long. # The refrigerator is set too warm and the gnats come in with the food. (very unlikely) You might check to make sure they are indeed gnats and not fruit flies.

Does silk come from a silkworm?

Silkworms produce silk when they grow from worms, into their adult stage: a moth.

In between these stages, the silkworm spins a single thread of silk around itself, which eventually hardens into a cocoon to protect it during this transformation. This silk is excreted from the salivary glands.

The worm is boiled alive during this stage before the silk is removed. If it were allowed to grow and emerge from the cocoon, it would break the cocoon in the process, making it less valuable for silk production (and useless for high quality garment).

The silk itself can also be loosen by soaking water. which will loosen up the "gum". Labors use a brush to push the cocoon up and down until one of the loose end is attack to the brush.
