Insects like the glassy-winged sharpshooter have evolved a unique way to pee, launching droplets at speeds up to 40 times the acceleration of a cheetah. Their 'butt flicker' acts like a catapult, harnessing surface tension and precise timing to overcome the challenges of being small and surviving on nutrient-poor plant fluids. This surprising discovery not only reveals the hidden marvels in backyard ecosystems but also hints at future innovations in technology. The story reminds us that wonder and inspiration often begin with simple curiosity.
