What Do Insects Do When Nature Calls? | Saad Bhamla | TED
Scientist Saad Bhamla is on a mission to answer a question most people don’t think to ask: How do insects pee? Taking inspiration from the incredible “butt flickers“ of the glassy-winged sharpshooter, Bhamla presents a fascinating study of the physics behind how bugs take care of business and invites us to be more curious about the seemingly mundane.
