can you clarify that or add some more words so we understand what you mean?

Demodex folliculorum live deep in human facial pores, and only come out at night to visit other pores and have sex. They live their whole lives on your face, cleaning your pores. Contrary to popular belief, each has its own anus.

Dang, this was the fact I wanted to share! lol
Also that they're related to arachnids - for my fellow spider phobics! We all have spiders living on our face. On. Our. Face!

meh, i've eaten spiders, flies, mozzies, moths, grasshoppers and all sorts of other bugs. But that's what happens when you cycle at night with your mouth open.

With the spiders you have there, you're a brave man, I'm telling you. You ever see huntsman spiders in your house? I'd be outta there like a shot and never be able to return, even though I know they're harmless to me!

There is more than 24 hours in one day based on current Earth time. But it's only a tiny amount so we just stay with a 24 hour clock.

The Earth used to have shorter days billions of years ago because it span faster.

In the future the days will become a lot longer than 24 hours as the planet's rotation slows and eventually the Earth stops spinning altogether.
