And,seriously, i think that while moving one is more prone to the crash.
THe thing is running into you while standing still.
Einstein, edit 1: And thank you for your answers.
I kept running into Junebugs int our kitchen at night and it was scaring the living hell out of me. I'm only 16, a faint-hearted young man when left in the dark with unknown buzzing noises, turning out to be about 5 or 10 junebugs in the bloody kitchen.
I hate Junebugs...
Thanks Again!

Einstein, edit 2: Junebugs fly at up to about 2 maybe 3 mph possibly 4.
Einstein, edit 3: So from these results, it is more likely to occur if I am standing still?
Of course. That makes sense. If I stand still, the beetle will eventually find me in the dark and hit me (most likely in the face) through random paths of aviation.
If I move however, and the beetle is moving along with me, both of our paths are somewhat randomized in respect to the other's. Therefore, it seems logical that the beetle is less likely to hit me when both our paths are randomized and not just one of us.
Thank you. I just needed a confirmation on that.
Everyone who contributed was a great help!!!
