This relationship dates back to the Native Americans, who hung empty gourds for Purple Martin nests. Most people welcome Purple Martin neighbors, as these birds are agile hunters and eat large quantities of winged insects. (However, contrary to popular belief, mosquitoes do not form a large part of their diet.) Purple Martins exhibit a very high level of site fidelity.
The vertical drop for a Super-G course must be between 350â650 m (1,150â2,130 ft) for men, 350â600 m (1,150â1,970 ft) for women, and 250â450 m (820â1,480 ft) for children. In the Olympic Winter Games, FIS World Ski Championships, and FIS World Cups, minimums are raised to 400 m (1,300 ft) for both men and women.
Fungus Gnats. Adult fungus gnats are tiny, measuring no more than 1/8 in length. Fungus gnats have a very short lifespan. The adult female fungus gnat will lay up to 300 eggs in damp soil then in about a week or so, the adult male and female will die. During their life span, fungus gnats carry plant disease from one host plant to another, creating big problems for home gardeners.
