  Hi

 Does anyone have the definitive answer as to which has
the lowest DC and AC resistance? An ant or a termite?
Also, how does that resistance vary over time of use?
I want to see graphs and statistics. Different species
might also be an additional variable.

 Data Sheets! We need the data sheets! Anyone have the correct data
sheets? With that information you could plug your critter into a curve
tracer and determine what it is.

Maybe the application notes would help.

Hi
 You realise that insects only have 6 pins with at most two
test leads. True bugs can have most any number of pins, so long
as it is an even number. I believe that some like to use them
in the bulk sense but just some notes on the proper way to
connect the pins can be useful.
