25,000 East-dwelling parasites on every Christmas tree

New Year is not only a holiday for people, but also for insects. The reason is that on every tree in the Christmas tree and the New Year family, on average, there are up to 25,000 small "wintering" parasites .

All the tiny creatures that this unseen naked eye will "wake up to sleep" when being warmed up in the home after these pine trees are brought from the street into the house.

The above is the result of research by scientists from Norway's Bergen University, published on December 18.

On average, there are 25,000 small "East-dwelling" parasites in these pine trees.

According to the researchers, in cold winter weather, the beetles, fleas, caterpillars and other insects and parasites all found "East sleeping" in the pine tree branches and temporarily stop all biological activities. But as soon as the pine tree is brought into the house with warm air, these insects will wake up: feel the warmth and light, their receptors signal the spring. is coming and making the body recover its life.

However, consumers should not worry about these "uninvited" guests . Normally, these tiny insects never leave the pine tree that they consider their "home" , because they are so small that they cannot go far beyond pine trees.

Norwegian scientists claim that the results of this study are practical for all traditional countries that display pine trees during Christmas and New Year, because it is great to know that along with pine trees, they We also bring with us a small part of nature.
