So it is summer, which means I have to deal with insects. Today one has made it into my room and while I tried to work this insect was constantly in my face, which caused me waving my hands in the air. Now I have actually hit it 3 times but it kept coming back. Then I was wondering, why don't insects actually really mind when you just basically slap them with one hand? They don't fall to the ground, they surely don't die and they don't even seem injured in any way. If a giant as much bigger than me than I am compared to an insect were to just slap me, I would imagine I were at least severely injured.
Is a human hand alone - not using a wall or another hand etc. to mash - really too slow for an insect to cause damage? Or does the insects "skin", which is made out of chitin, just give the insects this super power?
