Regular cleaning and keeping the area around the phone dry can help prevent them from returning.

Yes, insects have a system of tiny tubes called tracheae that allow them to exchange gases with the environment. Air enters these tubes through openings called spiracles on the insect's body, providing them with oxygen needed for respiration.

The bug making a click clack sound in your backyard may be a type of click beetle. Click beetles are known for the clicking noise they make when they flip themselves upright. The sound is produced by a mechanism that allows them to snap and launch themselves into the air as a defense mechanism.

This could lead to a decline in otter numbers due to starvation and increased competition for limited resources.

Gnats do not jump, they fly. However, if you have insects that look like gnats and jump, you may have fleas.

The tiny hairs on insects are called setae, and they are important for sensing their environment. These setae can detect changes in air currents, vibrations, and even chemicals in the environment, helping insects with tasks like sensing predators, finding food, and locating mates.
