Ok I'll start off as I'm a bit of a numpty on factual information...
Did You Know?
Lake Victoria, located at the intersection of Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, is so large that if the entire population of Earth went for a swim, they’d each have a roomy 83 or so square feet to themselves...

Did You Know...
It would take 1,200,000 mosquitoes, each sucking once, to completely drain the average human of blood.

and the 1,200,000 mosquitoes would be female.
Male mosquitoes would be sucking nectar but I don`t know how many, each sucking at once, it would take to completely drain a plant...

Did you know.....
Some fungi create zombies, then control their minds
The tropical fungus Ophiocordyceps infects ants’ central nervous systems. By the time the fungi been in the insect bodies for nine days, they have complete control over the host’s movements. They force the ants to climb trees, then convulse and fall into the cool, moist soil below, where fungi thrive. Once there, the fungus waits until exactly solar noon to force the ant to bite a leaf and kill it.
Edit: For @jonsie . This is in Thailand.

I love fungi [well, mushrooms]... I`m just grateful I`m not an ant...
that`s given me something to think about today
