The appearance of music in human society dates back to thousands of years ago and it was very much considered a cultural activity as well as a form of entertainment.
Nowadays music can be found in a variety of styles and genres so individuals can listen to what appeals to them. Listening to music can have a profound and positive impact on our body and mind.
A couple of teenagers thought it would be fun to carry out an experiment in which they let a longicorn beetle listen to some music in order to see how it would react
They brought a pair of earphones to either side of the beetle so the sound would be concentrated and streamed towards it
After a moment of being still, the beetle started bobbing it’s head up and down in line with the heavy metal song the teenagers played
Watch how the beetle reacts in the full experiment below:
