Total solar eclipse: Birds, bees, and plants might act strange during the eerie darkness on April 8
The astronomical event of total solar eclipse is all set to embrace our planet on April 8. The phenomenon is not just a spectacle in the sky, but also a living study of how creatures on Earth react to drastic changes in nature. Many studies on solar eclipses have shown in the past that animals and plants tend to behave differently during eclipses. Like during the 1851 eclipse in Sweden, a swarm of ants carrying food literally froze during the darkness of eclipse or a Massachusetts pantry was infested with cockroaches after the total eclipse in 1932.
