I don't know if you're being completely serious but I'll reply to this. I'm really no expert on insects but I do know the exo skeleton of insects in general do a pretty darn good job protecting their internal organs.So they really aren't easily hurt or killed from 'tosses'. Another thing is mass and surface area ratio. Insects accelerate slow compared to say a human. Put simply, they don't hit the ground as harder and it will take a greater force to damage them. I would be concerned about the insects becoming an easier prey to birds if they are thrown out in the open. I have a video on my phone of about a half dozen birds eating ant flies off my windows in the wee hours of the morning. We get weird seasons of bugs in Cleveland because of the lake effect. Anyways. It was early hours of the morning and my light was on -attracting these ant flies. I swear the birds had the feast of a lifetime. |
I'm just messing around. Though it did used to wonder how much damage was caused when insects fell from 'high' distances.
