Insects

An entomologist.

Lice are insects and therefore have 3 pairs of legs for a total of 6 legs all together. Lice are in the insect order Phthiraptera.

what kind of insect that is a beetle with a red shell and tiny black spots?

Millipedes have two pairs of legs per body section, which means they have four legs on each segment of their body. This distinguishes them from centipedes, which have only one pair of legs per body segment.

Xylophagous insects feed on wood, while phyllophagous insects feed on plant leaves. Xylophagous insects tend to bore into wood to consume it, leaving behind sawdust or frass. Phyllophagous insects may skeletonize or consume plant leaves, leaving distinctive feeding patterns.

The study of insects is a subset of Biology called Entomology. Thus scientists who study insects (bees, ants, wasps, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, bugs, mayflies, mantids, dragonflies et cetera) are called entomologists.

At the height of the summer, the queen can lay up to 2,000 eggs a day. Averaged out that would equate to roughly one egg every 43 seconds.

Mealworms change into darkling beetles. The transformation from mealworm to beetle involves a pupal stage where they undergo metamorphosis. The adult darkling beetles are capable of reproducing and starting the life cycle over again.

Butterfly

We just heard a lady that was in a Monark butterfly club last Thru. She spoke at the St Joe, MO water garder club Aug Meeting. She told us that the male had two black spots near the ribs on its wings. These are sent glands that make them more actractive to the females. Paul Deatz Member of the St Joe Water garden club

The hawk moth has the fastest wing beat among insects, with some species capable of beating their wings at a rate of up to 85 times per second. This rapid wing beat allows them to hover in place and feed on nectar similar to hummingbirds.

Most insects from cold regions can endure freezing temperatures. The coldest recorded insect is down to -60C. That's right negative 60. This was characterized in 3 larva. What the specific name it is. I didn't feel like going to the library for somebody on Wiki. But if you feel like looking it up here is the info and abstract.

Cold-hardiness strategies of some adult and immature insects overwintering in interior Alaska.

A variety of adult and immature insects, most of which occupy highly exposed habitats, successfully overwinter in interior Alaska. A number of adult beetles are feezing-tolerant. All exhibit relatively high supercooling points and synthesize large quantities of polyhydric alcohols in response to cold. At least four other orders are represented by adult insects that tolerate freezing, but in contrast to adult beetles, all exhibit relatively low supercooling points associated with the build-up of glycerol. At least three species of larvae that overwinter in galls undergo a remarkable increase in supercooling capability (to ca. -- 60 degree C) associated with synthesis of large quantities of glycerol in winter. None of the larvae tested could survive freezing in spite of their high glycerol levels.

The three sections of an insect's body are the head, thorax, and abdomen. The head contains the insect's sensory organs and mouthparts, the thorax is where the legs and wings are attached, and the abdomen houses vital organs such as the digestive and reproductive systems.

The female of some species eats the male after copulating.

Also, most spiders are cannibalistic because they become territorial. Many spiders, gender notwithstanding but mostly females, eat spiders of other species as part of their regular diet. At least one Family of spiders specializes on capturing and killing other spiders.

Monarch butterflies eat nectar from flowers.

Gnats belong to the animal kingdom, specifically the phylum Arthropoda. They are small flying insects that are part of the order Diptera.

They don't move and turn a white-ish color depending how long they been dead

Venus flytraps undergo dormancy during the winter months as a survival mechanism. During this period, they require a reduction in temperatures and light levels to conserve energy. To simulate dormancy in cultivation, it is important to mimic natural winter conditions by providing cooler temperatures, reduced light exposure, and withholding fertilizer.

An earthworm's life cycle is very long.

Bees and other insects don't have hearts in the way the higher animals do.

They don't have blood, either, but do have a clear or yellowish fluid called hemolymph surrounding their tissues which carries nutrients around the body. The insects' movements tend to keep the hemolymph moving around their body.

the blood of an insect transports the food that they eat

Check Google!!

In insects the blood transports nutrients and waste.

About 4 eggs are laid in one day by one female lice

Yes, cicadas are edible and have been consumed by humans in various cultures throughout history. They are a good source of protein and are often described as having a nutty or shrimp-like flavor. However, it is important to ensure that cicadas are collected from areas free of pesticides or other contaminants before consuming them.

Mayfly nymphs typically have two or three "tails" in the form of filamentous structures at the end of their abdomen. These tails are called cerci and may also include a central filament known as a median caudal filament.
