A bee was never caught in a shower.
If bees remain in the hive or fly but a short distance from it, expect rain.
Black Insects.
When little black insects appear on the snow, expect a thaw.
Cockroaches.
When cockroaches fly it is a sign of approaching rain.
Crickets.
If the cricket sing louder than usual, expect rain.
Chrysalides.
When the chrysalides are found suspended from the under side of rails, limbs, &c., as if to protect them from rain, expect much rain. If they are found on slender branches, fair weather will last some time. (Western Pennsylvania.)
