Insects

Earwigs are nocturnal so in the daytime they are just resting, sleeping and hiding.

At night they eat almost anything - other insects and arthropods and vegetable matter.

While it is very unlikely for an insect to eat a human from the inside out, there are some cases where certain insects, such as botflies, can lay eggs under human skin which then develop into larvae and cause skin infections. These instances are rare and typically occur in specific geographic regions.

Insects like crickets, mealworms, and grasshoppers are commonly consumed by humans in some cultures. These insects are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, and are considered a sustainable food source with lower environmental impact compared to traditional livestock.

A walking stick insect is an invertebrate. They belong to the Phylum Arthropoda, which includes animals without a backbone.

An insect's external skeleton, also known as its exoskeleton, is primarily made of a tough protein called chitin. Chitin provides structure and support to the insect's body, much like a suit of armor. It also helps protect the insect from physical injury and provides a surface for muscle attachment.

Do ants have hearts... I thought not? You thought wrong...the heartbeat of an ant depends on the temperature, the species, the level of exertion and upon finding a stethoscope small enough to listen to it...A decent guess would be between 100 and 200 beats per minutes.

Ants prefer warm and humid weather. They thrive in temperatures around 70-80°F and perform best when there is ample moisture available. Extreme heat or cold can negatively impact their activity levels and foraging behaviors.

Not all insects are considered bugs. Bugs are a group of insects that have a stylet and have front wings that are thicker and colored where they attach to the body. The wings are also clearer and thinner towards the end of the wing.

has surface tension that allows them to distribute their weight evenly and essentially float on the surface. The surface tension of water is due to the hydrogen bonding between water molecules. This unique property of water allows certain insects like water striders to walk on water without sinking.

The three main body parts of a bumblebee (head, thorax, and abdomen) are most helpful in identifying it as an insect. Additionally, features like six legs, wings, and antennae are key characteristics of insects that can also be used to distinguish a bumblebee.

The life stage of an insect beginning with "ch" is chrysalis. The chrysalis is the stage during which a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly or moth through a process called metamorphosis.

Getting a shot for an STD will depend on the type of infection. Not all STDs have a shot as a treatment option, so it's important to get tested and follow the recommended treatment plan provided by a healthcare provider. Some STDs, like bacterial infections, may be treated with antibiotics, while others, like viral infections, may require antiviral medications or other treatments. It's important to have a discussion with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Yes, millipedes are considered detrivores, meaning they primarily feed on decaying plant matter. They play a key role in breaking down organic material and recycling nutrients in the ecosystem.

Honeybees are cavity-nesting bees so you won't see their hive in the wild unless their tree has fallen down or their home has been opened some other way. If you do get to peek inside of it you will see parallel rows of wax comb covered with honeybees.

Domestic honeybees live inside of a stack of square boxes, about 18 inches on a side and between 2 and 6 feet tall, depending on how many boxes are stacked. If you could look inside these boxes you would see frames of wax comb that the bees live on, usually 10 frames per box.

The bees live in the lower boxes and store their honey in the upper boxes. bees live in neists

The strong odor of the insect repellent helped to deter mosquitoes from biting me while I was outside.

The two body sections of a typical crustacean the head and the abdomen, to which appendages are attached. By contrast, a typical insect has a head, thorax and an abdomen.

An adult insect's body is typically divided into three main parts: head, thorax, and abdomen. The head contains sensory organs and mouthparts, the thorax holds the legs and wings for movement, and the abdomen houses internal organs like the digestive and reproductive systems.

A group of maggots is called a "maggot mass" or a "maggot congregation."

A dead spider. Spiders have eight legs, not nine, but if one of its legs is missing, it can't walk.

Yes, moths can survive in cold temperatures by entering a state of dormancy known as diapause. During diapause, their metabolism slows down and they conserve energy to endure the cold conditions. When temperatures rise, moths become active again.

Aphids can lay eggs at different times of the year. See related link.

Ants do not have eyes in the traditional sense. They have compound eyes made up of many small lenses that allow them to detect light and movement. The color of an ant's eyes is usually black or dark brown.
