Insects

i don't know you tell me

Beneficial insects are a biological control for an organic garden or orchard. They are natural enemies of the garden pests. Injurious insects like aphids, mites, cutworms, and mealy bugs. Beneficial insects have been used in gardening since the late 1800's
Some of the most common beneficial insects are the spined soldier bug, lacewing, lady bug, nematodes, mason bee, parasitic gall-midges, mealy bug destroyer, minute pirate bug, and redworms.
Many perform valued services like pollination and pest control
Bees are beneficial as pollinators, facilitating propagation and fruit production for many plants. While some bees are predatory or parasitic, killing pest insects.

Think of beneficial insects like this simple story:
A Bird eats a insect. The bird uses the carbon from insect to make muscle tissue. This makes the bird stronger in order to survive. Once the bird dies, a fly will lay maggots on the bird, in which helps break down the bird's body. Carbon atoms will be released into the ground and be absorbed by a apple tree. Humans and animals will consume the apple.

This is a difficult question to answer because each individual is different and so is the way they react to a BedBug bite. When a BedBug begins to feed on you it's saliva contains a couple of chemicals. One is an antistetic that masks your pain so you don't wake up when it inserts it's feeding tube. The other is an anticoagulant which makes your blood flow more freely. How you individually react to those two chemicals is what makes the difference.

Some people are not allergic to those chemicals while for others the reaction can be severe. Generally for everyone in between you will see small red bumps, sometimes two or three all in a row. They will itch but please do not scratch them. For others there may be a combination of blotches and bumps. As I said it is different for each individual.

To be sure if it is a Bedbug bite or something else you need to look for the other signs of BedBugs: small blood spots on your bedding; dark spots that are BedBug fecal material; BedBugs or their eggs in the seams of your mattress and box springs. If you don't find those signs in your bedding then look in the area surrounding your bed. BedBugs may hide in cracks and crevices almost anywhere. As a generalization BedBugs can hide up to about twenty feet away from their prey which is you while you sleep.

No, it has 6 legs. Arachnids have 8

Microscopic organic matter and plankton are what tube worms eat. Fine hairs and tentacles ensure that the food sources move from outside to inside every tube worm.

Yes a shield bug is an insect because it has 6 legs.

>I got a terrific answer on this topic from Bob Haskins. He wrote a book called Silverfish >Control: How to Get Rid of Silverfish. Check it out at www.getridofsilverfish.com

Thanks for sharing those terrific answers. =(

The three main points are :

- getting rig of moist, having laundry in a room generates sufficient moist in the air for the bugs to survive)

- getting rid of their food. Store everything in plastic containers/boxes

- get rid of their hiding places, fix cracks and wallpaper.

You should also try keeping your kitchen and eating areas clean. Silverfish are scavengers and can live off of the crumbs you leave on the floor.

The Daddy Long Legs is not a spider but a fly, more correctly known as a crane fly. Adult crane flies feed on nectar or they do not feed at all. Once they become adults, most crane fly species exist as adults only to mate and die.

Unless of course you are referring to the cellar spider which is also known as the daddy long legs spider which traps and eats insects like most other spiders.

A black- or brown-bodied, long insect 1.5 inches (3.81 centimeters) long is the look of an assassin bug. The insect in question has large eyes, long antennae, and strong front legs the better to see, detect, and immobilize prey with. The three-segmented body is recognizable for the wheel look of the third part, the abdomen.

Wasps are more dangerous. Wasps are long and thin while bees are small and normal sized. Wasps don't die when they sting, bees do.

In addition: Although both species drink nectar from flowers, wasps could be said to be carnivorous, while bees are not. Bees feed their young with pollen collected from flowers while wasps feed their young on insect or spider prey.

The term centipede means "one hundred feet" but centipedes (arthropods of the class Chilopoda) have between 30 and 384 legs and feet, with the number of pairs always an odd number.

it depends on the caterpillar. I have the caterpillar that makes those giant webs on trees.But I only have one so he can't do much but he can't pee. but he can POOP!

Most species feed on plantain, dandelions, and various forbs.

no

No it's a myth. See TV show the Night Gallery "The caterpillar" episode online for a good show that cashes in on the myth.

It is when the grasshopper starts to hop it causes a low air pressure(faster moving air means low air pressure).The air around the low pressure area wants to equalize.Thus, it quickly fills in the space causing a phenomenon called "lift" which eventually leads up to "thrust".

Like very many adult insects, they require little nourishment except mineral salts, some calories and water. They "drink" everything - if a food is solid, they empty their stomach contents onto the food to dissolve it, and then suck it back up again - luvverly!!

the most common is the monarch or the zebra striped angle but it all depends on what forest

That depends on the worm. If you mean a caterpillar, then yes, that is considered a bug in larval form. If you mean an earthworm, then no, that is not considered a bug.

Useful insects:

Bees: they pollinate plants

mosquitos: their larvae feed frogs

blowflies: their larvae eat up messes from other animals (like humans)

They are actually quite different! An insects wings are a fixed shape and have an ecto-skeleton (like bones) in the outside and look very much like a leaf. Often there are two pairs together which can over-lap. A birds wing has the bones on the inside and they are hollow. The feathers spread open to increase the surface area and aid in giving "lift". There really aren't many similarities at all.

There are several million different types.

Well if you are wanting to kill a lady bug, I don't think it is going to matter if it is non-toxic or not. You can smush them with your foot. You might try one of those sticky things that hang down that you can use to catch flies with.

Mealworm beetles (darkling beetles) are prolific breeders. Mating is a three step process: 1) The male gives chase until the female relents. 2) The male then mounts the female and curls his genitals (aedagus) underneath himself and inserting it into her genital tract. 3) The male then injects the female with a packet of semen. Dependent on incubation temperature, just days after mating the female will burrow into soft ground and lay between 70 and 100 eggs. After 1 week the eggs hatch and larvae emerges. During the larva stage, mealworms will undergo repeated molting between bouts of eating various vegetation or dead insects. This takes place 10-14 times (instars) as it gets too big for its exoskeleton. During its last molt, it loses its carapace before curling into its pupal form. The mealworm remains in its pupal stage from 6 days to around 30 days (dependent on incubation temperature and overwintering). The pupa starts a creamy white colour and changes slowly to brown during its pupation stage. The newly emerged mealworm beetle will sit still as its wings unfold and dry. It will appear a creamy color, stop moving, and will slowly brown over a period of 2-7 days. Once the mealworm beetle has browned they will become sexually mature and begin to look for a mate. * Incubation: 10-11 days at 20°C; 4-6 days at 30°C * Larval period: 90-114 days (10-14 larval instars). * Pupal period: 30 days at 15°C; 9 days at 25°C; 6 days at 35°C. * Adult Stage 5 - 10 days * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mealworm

One of the most effective natural mosquito repellents available is Repel Lemon Eucalyptus. A repellent called Bite Blocker has also been proven to be an effective natural mosquito repellent. It's easy to make your own natural mosquito repellent, by mixing 10-25 drops of essential oils (cinnamon, lemon eucalyptus) with 2 tablespoons of alcohol. 2 tablespoons of a carrier oil or alcohol

i think black cane beetles can't fly because there a type of spider and spiders can't fly
