Insects

Some can, some can't, arthropods are a large and diverse group of animals.

Earwigs are shaped like ants but have pincers on the head. They resemble scorpions at this end of the body.

Phyllophaga (June Bug) These beetles are nocturnal, coming to lights in great numbers. The adults are chafers, feeding on foliage of trees and shrubs. The larvae (called white grubs) feed on the roots of grasses and other plants. The insects pupate underground in the fall and emerge as adults the following spring. Chafer grubs feed below ground for 3-4 years before changing into adult beetles. The adult beetles are very clumsy, both on land and in the air.

Water striders are classified as arthropods because of characteristics shared in common with other arthropods. It's important to remember the arthropod phylum (Arthropoda) is a very broad categorization of living things, characterized by jointed limbs, segmented bodies, and a hard exoskeleton. It includes all the insects. Water striders are considered "true bugs" or Hemiptera, along with aphids, shield bugs and leaf-hoppers; their order is classified below Insecta (the insect class).

During the Vietnam War, the 17th parallel was the dividing line that separated one nation from another (North & South Vietnam); it hasn't existed since 1975.

The Witchetty lives in the roots of the Witchetty Bush, and is therefore called as the Witchetty grub. Witchetty grubs like to eat the wood among the roots of trees where they are usually found

Next to butterflies, dragonflies are some of the most colorful insects in the world. The darning needle dragonfly comes in several varieties and colors, one of the most striking is very bright red, with translucent wings.

These chemicals are called insecticides.

the bug that can taste with its legs are called a crane fly

Insects and Lobsters

Squeezing any animal in the thorax would create distress. Since insects breathe through their skeleton squeezing them in the thorax does not interfere with breathing. However, squeezing the insect could kill it.

Insects don't have tentacles.

Octopuses do. They have 8.

A common house fly is a very small animal. In order to get an accurate measurement, you would have to use millimeters.

Yes, their bite contains a small amount of venom to paralyze their prey, which are small insects (usually ants). They rarely bite humans, and in cases where they do, the sting is normally harmless, similar to a bee sting, and wears off in a few hours.

Insects do not sink because of their size and weight. They are lighter than the water and are tiny so that what keeps them above the water. The way they move and swim also keeps them above the water.

Yes, rollie pollies, also known as pill bugs or woodlice, do mate. They are terrestrial crustaceans that reproduce sexually. They engage in mating behavior to produce offspring.

Turn on your porch light after sunset, and you will be treated to an aerial display by dozens, if not hundreds, of bugs. Artificial lights attract moths, flies, crane flies, mayflies, beetles, and all sorts of other insects. I often find frogs and other insect predators hanging around my porch at night, taking advantage of the easy pickings.

Unfortunately for the insects, their attraction to artificial light is a cruel trick caused by our innovation moving faster than their evolution. Night flying insects evolved to navigate by the light of the moon. By keeping the moon's reflected light at a constant angle, the insects can maintain a steady flight path and a straight course.

Artificial lights interfere with an insect's ability to detect the moonlight. They appear brighter, and radiate their light in multiple directions. Once an insect flies close enough to a light bulb, it attempts to navigate by way of the artificial light, rather than the moon.

Since the light bulb radiates light on all sides, the insect simply cannot keep the light source at a constant angle, as it does with the moon. It attempts to navigate a straight path, but ends up caught in an endless spiral dance around the bulb.

Some scientists believe light pollution is leading to a decline in certain insects. Fireflies, for example, have difficulty identifying the flashes of other fireflies where artificial lights are present.

Palaeodictyoptera do not have six wings, the extra appendages are known as prothoracic paranotal lobes and are basically chitinous plates which may have been used by these prehistoric insects to stabilise flight profiles.

Fruitfly, scientifc name Drosophila melanogaster (dew-loving black-belly), is a model organism used in biological studies. Since they are small, easy to reproduce, has a decoded genome and has many mutant strains, it is most oftenly used in genetics and molecular biology studies involving a model multicellular eukaryotic organism. Other model organisms include Arabidopsis thaliana, a model multicellular plant, zebrafish, a model fish, rats and mice, model mammals, Escherichia coli, a model bacteria, saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast), a model unicellular eukaryote, and T4 phage, a model virus.
