A lot of insects count their steps, fly in a specific pattern, or use the sun to know where they are. These methods usually rely on them knowing where they began, ended, and how they got there. So if they don’t know where they ended or how they got there, they have no idea where they are.

(This is just what I remember from high school bio. Please correct me if I’m wrong)

Other than bees and wasps, the vast majority of insects don’t have a ‘home’ so it literally makes no difference for them, since they have no home to go back to.

Those insects had been randomly flying around at point A, and will continue to randomly fly around at point B.

What might make a difference is if the weather conditions were very different, especially when it comes to wind and cold.

Things like ants, which really do have nests, are basically just kind of fucked, having no way to get home.

Well, in one case, they provided evidence in a murder case.

No link, sorry, but a guy rented a car and developed an alibi by saying that he drove to visit someone in another state at the time of the murder.

Odometer showed that he did drive the requisite distance, but forensic entomologists showed that the bugs on his radiator and windshield were ones present in a farming area where, it was learned, he drove in circles to rack up miles.

A honeybee will search for another hive and petition to join. If denied….She will simply hang out until the hive pheromones attach to her and she is accepted by the others. Once accepted, she will start doing jobs just like at her previous hive.
