Ooh, I'll take an animal fact of indeterminate quality, if you're still offering!
im ALWAYS offering animal facts... how about... something to do with... globular springtails!
these tiny bugs (~1-2mm!) are well known for their ability to spring away using their "tail" (furcula), backflipping through the air at incredible speeds- but did you know that they also do little mating "dances"?
the males will try and headbutt the female (the larger one) and end up in little twirling dances!
