When an insect eats plant matter that has been treated with DDT in which part of the insect would you expect the DDT to collect?
When an insect consumes plant matter treated with DDT, the chemical is likely to accumulate in its fat tissues. DDT is a lipophilic compound, meaning it tends to dissolve in fats rather than water, leading to bioaccumulation in the fat reserves of the insect. Over time, this accumulation can have toxic effects on the insect and can also impact predators that consume the insect.
What are the pins that are used for displaying insects?
Insect display pins are typically slender and sharp pins used to secure insects in place for mounting and display. They are commonly made of stainless steel or brass to prevent rusting and damage to the specimens. The pins are inserted through the insect's body or wings and then fixed onto a mounting board or surface for display.
What are pheromes and how do insect-eating plants use them?
Pheromones are chemical signals that insects, and other animals, release to communicate with each other. Insect-eating plants, like the Venus flytrap, use pheromones to attract prey. These plants release specific scents that mimic those of insects, attracting them to their traps for capture and digestion.
Why may introducing a chemical to kill an insect population have an impact on humans?
Introducing a chemical to kill an insect population can have an impact on humans in many different ways. It could pollute our air, and also kill another insect that we were not intending on killing. But mainly because it can hurt the plants and animals that help us in our every day lives. For example; it could kill a tree leading us with less oxygen sources and wood to use for materials. Or certain plants used for medicines. Or the decomposers that help decompose and keep our earth a cleaner place. These are simply some of the impacts on humans of introducing a chemical to kill an insect population.

What insect gives off a yellowish-green light in the dark?
The firefly, or lightning bug, is an insect known for emitting a yellowish-green light in the dark as a form of communication and mating display. This bioluminescence is produced through a chemical reaction in their bodies.
Why do fireflies come out at dusk?
The characteristic green yellow glow produced by a firefly is the result of a chemical reaction that takes place in the insect's abdomen. This chemical reaction involves three ingredients luciferin (a heat resistant substrate and serves as the source of the light) luciferase (an enzyme that triggers the light producing chemical reaction) and oxygen (provides the fuel for the reaction to proceed).
Can a smashed lightning bug still produce light?
Yes, a smashed lightning bug (or firefly) can still produce light for a short time after being crushed. This is because the light is produced by a chemical reaction involving luciferin and luciferase, which can still occur in the tissues of the insect even after it is damaged. However, the light may not be as bright or last as long as it would in a living firefly.

What is the term for a chemical which is used to control insect populations?
An insecticide is a chemical which is used to control insect populations.Specifically, the ending -icide designates the extermination aspect of the item in question. An insecticide therefore is a pesticide which controls insect pests. The control may aim for a certain manageable level of numbers of that pest or for annihilation.
What is the dry preservation method of insects and how is it used in entomology?
The dry preservation method of insects involves removing moisture from the specimen to prevent decay. This is typically done by using desiccants like silica gel or by freezing the specimen. In entomology, this method is used to maintain the integrity of insect specimens for research, study, and display purposes.
