Where do our superstitions come from?

A history of the late Queen's beloved corgis

She loved them since she was a child, and they accompanied her through much of her long reign as queen. We're speaking, of course, of the late Queen Elizabeth's beloved corgis.

It's believed that she left behind at least four dogs; two corgis, a cocker spaniel, and one "dorgi" (a hybrid mix of a dachshund and a corgi that the Queen is credited with creating). She is surely missed. On a happier note, click through the gallery for a look back at the Queen's life-long love affair with corgis.

How animal moms carry their young

Bringing up a baby is a tough job. Looking after a newborn requires a lot of tender loving care, and a tremendous amount of patience. And guess what? Animals do it very well. In fact, some species make it look easy thanks to the fact that they literally carry their burden in their stride. Yep, there are moms out there who take their young everywhere—on their backs, or in pouches! But what species shoulder this kind of responsibility? Click through and find out how some animals get a grip on their offspring.

These animals can produce a baby without mating

The vast majority of animals need to breed to reproduce, but a small number of species can have offspring without mating. The process is known as parthenogenesis, which is Greek for "virgin birth." It's a form of asexual reproduction in which the production of offspring occurs in the absence of any male genetic contribution. Females produce unfertilized eggs that will develop into viable embryos. While many people may be shocked by this behavior, parthenogenesis is surprisingly common with various organisms, including plants, insects, fish, and reptiles. Because mammals, including human beings, require certain genes that come from sperm, mammals are incapable of parthenogenesis. Click on to discover the animals that can produce offspring all by themselves.

These Insanely Helpful Garden Plants Keep the Mosquitoes Away

Say goodbye to the outdoor pests. Bugs come with the territory when you’re outdoors, but some are more tolerable than others. If it feels like mosquitoes are invading your yard, it’s understandable to want to do what you can to get rid of them. Enter mosquito repellent plants. Here’s the thing: Experts say that the best way to keep mosquitoes at bay is to use personal repellents recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But if you want to go a more natural route, you may be interested in selecting certain plants—they’re just not necessarily guaranteed to work as well as a spray. “The idea that planting certain plants around your home will successfully repel mosquitoes is only supported by anecdotal evidence and not empirical evidence,” says Eva Buckner, Ph.D., assistant professor and state extension specialist at the University of Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory. It’s important to note, though, that there is some evidence that certain plants may help discourage certain mosquitoes from setting up camp in your yard—they just don’t work as well as a chemical or spray. If it feels like your outdoor space is a haven to mosquitoes, it’s a good idea to “eliminate mosquito breeding grounds on and around your property by draining standing water from flowerpots, birdbaths, grill covers, baby pools, and other sources,” says Jim Fredericks, Ph.D., board-certified entomologist and senior vice president of public affairs at the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Using a small fan outside may also help keep mosquitoes away since “they are not strong flyers,” Fredericks says. But if you like the look and smell of certain plants and want to see if they keep the mosquitoes away, too, there’s no reason not to try them. These are the plants fans swear are most likely to help get rid of mosquitoes. Snap up one or a few to enhance your outdoor space.

15 things women can stop feeling guilty about

Even though a lot of progress has been made to improve gender equality in society, there's no denying that expectations for women are still different. There are fewer women in positions of power, so the ones who make it to the top must then act as representatives for their gender and prove that they deserve their spot—not a single mistake or a hair out of place. This pressure filters down into the daily life of the average woman. After centuries of oppression there is finally space for women in the world, but it doesn't come without complications. We are still struggling to break from outdated mindsets and fight systemic sexism.
