A deep dive into how insects generate and use static electricity—from wing-friction and leaf contact to electrosensing, pollination, and defense. We'll explore the triboelectric series, how bees and butterflies sense flowers, caterpillars detecting predator wingbeats, and the surprising ways swarms and other insects interact with electricity—and what this electric dimension means for ecosystems and us.
