CAN INSECTS BE USED AS AN EARTHQUAKE PREDICTOR?

Abstract
Abstract - Earthquake is one of the most destructive natural events that threaten human life. Unfortunately, today's technology is insufficient for scientists to predict the exact location, time, and magnitude of an earthquake. However, there are observations of abnormal insect behavior prior to the earthquake. Insects have well-developed sensory organs that allow them to immediately detect changes in their environment. It is known that the sensory capabilities of insects are very different from those of humans and other vertebrates. There are many studies indicating that insects can be used as biological indicators in predicting earthquakes. Such as ants, flies, bees, grasshoppers, and cockroaches exhibit abnormal behavior days or even weeks before an earthquake occurs. In this review, the changes in insect behavior prior to the earthquake and whether these could be used as an earthquake early warning system were discussed by evaluating previous studies.
