Quantum Effects in Daily Life a 1.25-mg insect flies through a 4.00-mm-diameter hole in an ordinary window

Question:

Quantum Effects in Daily Life a 1.25-mg insect flies through a 4.00-mm-diameter hole in an ordinary window screen. The thickness of the screen is 0.500 mm.
(a) What should be the approximate wavelength and speed of the insect for her to show wave behavior as she goes through the hole?
(b) At the speed found in part (a), how long would it take the insect to pass through the 0.500-mm thickness of the hole in the screen? Compare this time to the age of the universe (about 14 billion years). Would you expect to see "insect diffraction" in daily life?
