The wasps are of similar size to the wavelengths of 5 Ghz RF frequencies. It seems plausible that they experience the absorbed energy quite differently.

Maybe it's like a pleasant warmth from within and they just fly towards the direction of increasing warmth. I guess it wouldn't take many dBms of absorbed power to slightly heat a wasp.

Monkeys like to be microwaved; may be a similar effect.

Humans, too: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2012.3787

I remember treatments like these happened in GP's offices in the 1980s.

Very curious how you get IRB approval to microwave monkeys.

[hyeonwho4]

There is no IRB for monkeys.

The animal equivalent to an IRB is usually an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), but the laws they are subject to vary with jurisdiction, and their use is optional if your grant provider (i.e. NIH) or academic publisher do not require them.

I beg your pardon?

Try it: you'll see. Low power recommended.

Humans like to sit in saunas.
