Why do insects, you know, do it?
You know, walk on windows?

Surely they must be walking on the glass, looking down (from their perspective), and going nuts at seeing the grass and trees from a different angle - yet they just walk nonchalantly across!

This is so frakin' weird and I want to know why!

1. I find insects fascinating
pick up a poor insect schmuck who is struggling in the water, set him somewhere and watch him meticulously clean every part of its body. Watching them clean their antennae is especially fun. HEY, farm life can be pretty BORING sometimes.

2. Most insects..
have multifaceted compound eyes, so they see the world in a complete 360 anyway. I imagine walking on glass makes little difference.
