00:00Butterflies are particularly vulnerable with their large, delicate wings.
00:08The name of the game for most tiny insects is avoidance.
00:15When you're this small, being hit by a raindrop is the equivalent of a human having a pickup
00:21truck dropped on their head.
00:35But mosquitoes have a different strategy.
00:39A single raindrop is 50 times the mass of a mosquito, and falling 10 times faster than
00:47they can fly.
00:50There's no way to avoid them.
00:54Instead, mosquitoes rely on their unique physiology.
01:05They're incredibly light with a strong exoskeleton, which allows them to absorb the impact of
01:12the much heavier drops.
01:16Even taking a direct hit, the mosquito lives to fly another day.
