The document discusses various facts about insects:
1) It describes the Borneo walking stick insect and how it uses camouflage to avoid predators.
2) It mentions that Charles Woodworth suggested using fruit flies for genetics research, setting a precedent in that field.
3) Darwin correctly predicted the existence of a moth species with an elongated proboscis that could pollinate a star orchid with a deep nectar well.

25. Predicta Moth - Darwin predicted the existence of the moth. The Star of Bethlehem Orchid boasts a nectar well that often reaches about 12” in depth, too deep for the average moth or bee to reach the nectar and therefore unlikely to attract the insect assistance the orchid needs to pollinate. Darwin suggested that some species of insect existed on Madagascar with a physical attribute--possibly a retractable proboscis--that allowed it to tap the orchid's nectar well. When the moth was discovered decades later, it was found to have a coiled proboscis that, when unfurled, measured 10 to 12 inches. Darwin also correctly predicted that the insect would be nocturnal, as the star orchid only released its fragrance at night.
36. At least 109 people died of a disease in Ningbo, south of Shanghai, in 1940, after Japanese war planes dumped certain insects over the city center. The three Chapekar brothers in 1897 shot and killed W. C. Rand, an Indian Civil Services officer who headed a special committee setup in Pune. Connect. 12
