The purpose of the behavior? The quick dip cools the insect down, and the loop-the-loops help it dry off by flicking away the water. Learn more during #InsectWeek: scim.ag/40mKKBI

What do you see when you stare at this grid of line segments: a series of rectangles, or a series of circles?
The way you perceive this optical illusion may tie back to the visual environment that surrounds you, a recent preprint suggests. scim.ag/4kTxbmd
