Insects

There are a number of specific fire ant killers on the market, however most are hazzardous to the environment and can be toxic to people and animals so they should be used with care and the directions should be followed CAREFULLY!

I've read, and I'm now trying Borax (can be found in the detergent isle of your local grocer. Usually in a Green & Yellow box with Red lettering (Mule Team Borax). It has many household uses, including a detergent boosting agent for laundry. However, it has a long history of getting rid of ants. I used it successfully for Carpenter Ants in Ohio ... I've just put it out to see if it will work on Fire Ants. I have a nasty infestation in my back yard and get bitten frequently. Their bites normally leave a small welt that will sting and itch for weeks.

You can mix the borax with moist cat food (you MUST cover this and only leave a hole small enough for the ants to get in... because Racoons and neighborhood cats will also be attracted to it. ) Best to only have it out during the times you are home and can watch it, also during the day and not at night since most ants will bed down for the night and that is the main time for Racoons, Cats etc to roam.

You can also sprinkle the borax in your yard and around the perimeter of your home, just remember to reapply after it rains.

Currently there are 32, but as many more are discovered each year that could certainly change in the future. The link below lists all the orders.

A bug that looks like a black flying ant and that gets in pools is actually a black flying ant. Ant colonies produce virgin queens and males with wings to take flight and start new colonies with individuals from other nests.

The body part that insects have and cat fleas do not is wings. Fleas are wingless insects that feed on the blood of animals including cats.

none, all have 6 legs

Fleas sometimes have an orange appearance when they are in the sunlight. They are shaped like and commonly mistaken for gnats.

what is this

There is not a specific length as a person could be "short" and still be considered to have long legs proportionately. (It's hard to explain what constitutes long legs because it's all about the relationship of the legs to the length of the torso.) But, I'd have to say that if your legs are over 8 feet long, it's probably safe to say you have long legs for a 14-year-old.

It is generally a good thing, as praying mantises eat other insects that are considered pests.

they are consumed by microorganisms.

No. Beetles, like all insects, have bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means something has 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.

The outer covering of an insect is called the exoskeleton.

yes they do.

No, you cannot. Ketaconazole is an anti-fungal, and will have no effect on bug bites.

They are food for the bugs. If no bugs ate the eggs, just think how many there would be.

No. Only mammals can carry rabies.

Yes stick bugs do form a pupae

The life cycle of house flies is extremely short, many times only two days. This allows the E. coli bacteriophages in their guts to be passed on to the next generation without being jeopardized.

Mount Kilimanjaro hosts a diverse range of insects due to its varied ecosystems, from tropical forests to alpine zones. Common insects include butterflies, beetles, ants, and various species of grasshoppers. The unique altitude and climate create habitats for endemic species, while the lush lower slopes support a rich collection of insects. Additionally, the mountain's ecosystems are crucial for pollinators, such as bees and other flying insects that thrive in the higher elevations.

There are many insects that could have a red body with black wings. These insects include dragonflies as well as butterflies.

No, a Millipede is not a carnivore. They are Herbivores.

No, Venus Flytraps do not have tastebuds.

No, what you need to do is put Vaseline on the actual deer tick then wait approx. 10 minutes or so and get a good set of tweezers preferably pointy ones . And the deer tick should back itself out and then remove with tweezers. the Vaseline cuts off the oxygen so the deer tick cant breathe. and the vaseline makes it much easier to remove it even if it was giving a problem of not backing out.....

Woodlouse prefer more basic pH because they excrete ammonia which is alkali. They are attracted to places with more ammonia because those places indicate to them there are a lot of other woodlouse excrement there. Hence those places would have more woodlouses, and they can all clump together to retain moisture
