How do horseflies breed?

Here's a quote from a great Web site on tabanids (horseflies). "When the fly emerges from its pupal case females will seek a blood meal, whilst the males feed on nectar. The next priority for a newly emerged fly is to mate. This usually takes place during the early hours of the morning. Males come together in swarms above the forest canopy and females are attracted to these swarms. Females enter these dipteran "lekking" sites and copulation is initiated in the air, the act is completed on the ground and takes approximately five minutes."

Do humans really eat insects without knowing?

Many pacific islands were without insects or flies before sailing ships arrived. The people on them lived just fine. In the 1920s and 1930s many areas in the southern part of the United States poured oil over their swamps and temporally got rid of their mosquitoes when the United States wiped out Malaria. When that stopped, the mosquitoes came back but the malaria did not.

What is the symmetry of an insect?

Cockroaches, like many other animals, have reflection symmetry: The right side of a cockroach it's exactly like the left side, except for its direction. In mathematical terms we would say there is a plane dividing the cockroach into two symmetrical parts. Please see the links for more details.

In biological terms, cockroaches have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

Where can maggots be found?

How do you control chiggers?

The best product to use on the bite is

chigger bite ointment. This ointment will take the "itch"

away and promote healing. Since

chiggers will readily climb over clothing to

get to your flesh, use permethrine concentrate

on shoes and pants. Permethrin is odorless, easy

to mix and works well at keeping many pests

away. Mix some up in a small spray bottle for

spraying while afield. Be sure to use it on shoes

and pants to keep them off and apply as needed.

Though the aerosol is easy to use, the concentrate

will prove to be more cost effective if you will

be using a lot. As an added measure, you should

treat your skin with some repellent as well. This

way if the chiggers some how get past your clothes,

they won't want to stick around on your treated

skin. There are many repellents for use one your

skin but the best is either citronella lotion or deet. Citronella has long been used as a general

insect repellent and though not too effective

when dispersed in the air, it does a good job

as a contact repellent. This lotion can be applied

as frequently as needed and won't pose a hazard

to anyone that wants some type of protection. If

the chiggers are really bad and you want the

strongest protection available, the Deet would

be the best choice. It will last longer then the

Citronella and will work better overall.
