What animal has 3 body sections and an exoskeleton?

- Crab

- Lobster

- Yabby

- Marron

Most crustaceans have exoskeletons that cover bodies divided into segments.

The arthropod body is encased in a hard structure called an exoskeleton. The exoskeleton acts as an external skeleton and provides the animal with structural support and protection. The exoskeleton consists of cuticle, a multi-layered substance secreted by the epidermis. Cuticle consists of chitin, proteins and lipids. In many aquatic crustaceans, the exoskeleton is mineralized with calcium carbonate that is acquired from the surrounding water. This produces a tougher, more rigid structure. Since the exoskeleton is rigid, it must be jointed to allow the arthropod to move and acts as a framework to which the animal's muscles are attached.

Why are insects classified as animals?

All eukaryotic lifeform (i.e. not bacteria or archaea) are grouped into four kingdoms: Plants, Animals, Fungi and Protists.

A plant is a truly multicellular organism with cell walls composed of cellulose. They are typically autotrophic, meaning that they produce their own food, in this case via photosyntheses.

An animal is a truly multicellular organism with no cell wall. They are heterotrophic, meaning that they cannot produce their own food and must seek nutrients from sources.

A fungus is a truly multicellular organism with cell walls composed of chitin. They are heterotrophic.

Protists are typically unicellular organisms, though occasionally they may lump together to form something that looks like a multicellular organisms, though unlike the others they will have no tissues. Depending on the protist, they may be heterotropic or autotrophic.

Insects are multicellular organisms. The cells of an insect do not possess a cell wall. Insects obtain their nutrients from other sources by eating. This satisfies the criteria to be classified as animals.

What should you do to protect your food from flies?

The most common fly to be found in the home (and subsequently the one which eats our food!) is the Musca domestica, or Common House Fly. As this fly can only eat liquid food they will ‘spit’ out saliva onto solid foods to aid in pre-digestion. Also due to their high intake of food they almost constantly deposit faecal matter. This coupled with the ‘vomiting’ increases your chances of coming into contact with the diseases they carry. Flies can also carry diseases ‘picked up’ from contact with infected humans, such as Typhoid or Polio. As well as the above, Flies can also cause/spread Diarrhoea, vomiting, anthrax, cholera, eye-infections… That’s why we cover our food!

Do June bugs only come out in June?

Only 1 year is required for these beetles to complete their life cycle. They overwinter as grubs that may become active on warm winter days. They increase their activity in the spring, and in June pupate in earthen cells several centimeters underground. The pupal stage lasts about 18 days; adults appear in July and August. In mid-summer, adults lay eggs underground in earthen balls. Each female lays 60 to 75 eggs over a span of about 2 weeks. When the egg is first laid, it is pearly white and elliptical (1.5 mm by 2.1 mm). It gradually becomes more spherical as the larva inside develops. About 18 days after the eggs are laid, they hatch into small, white grubs. The newly hatched larva is 8 mm long and grows to a length of about 40 mm. Whitish with a brownish-black head, the grub has conspicuous brown spiracles along the sides of its body. The larvae molt twice before winter. The third larval stage lasts nearly 9 months, after which pupation occurs. At night, the larvae may be found on the ground crawling on their backs. This curious form of locomotion is peculiar to the green June beetle.The brown pupa, approximately the same shape as the adult, becomes metallic green just before the adult emerges. It is about 15 mm long and 15 mm wide.back to

Clover mitesI have these, too. When I was a kid we used to call them "bloodsuckers," since when smooshed, they left what appeared to be a smear of human blood.

They like the concrete because it's warm, and they seek out warm conditions, swarming all over in spring to early summer.
