Science finally came up with solid evidence that animal behavior can
be a predictor of weather events. But it's not exactly the behavior (or
the animals) you might expect.
Instead of dogs barking, think beetles f#*$ing.
Or, rather, beetles not copulating, as the drop in atmospheric pressure
that precedes a storm seems to result in less sexual behavior among
several species of insects. Particularly interesting were the curcurbit
beetles, who might still mate in the face of an oncoming storm, but seem
to dispense with all foreplay.
