How can you kill duff millipedes?

Use the environmentally friendly millipede catcher from www.millipedecatchers.com

You kill them and stop the breeding cycle. This is most important, otherwise you continue to use chemical killing our native insects. This then slows the breakdown of mulch and your plants suffer because the soil lack nutrients.

What is the major characteristic of an arthropod?

There are 4 characteristics that are shared by all Arthropods...

1.) Jointed Limbs

2.) A segmented body with specialzed parts

3.) An Exoskeleton

4.) Well developed nervous system.

P.S... I found this answer out of my Science Book! ;)

What are anthropods in the kingdom animalia?

Anthropods or anthropoids are a group of human like primates including new world monkeys, old world monkeys, gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans. These animals branch off early in evolution from their distant relatives such as the lemurs and tarsiers. Also check out arthropods completely different, but spelled similarly.

Do arthropods have a mouth?

No, centipedes usually have very long back legs which resemble their antennae. This makes it more difficult for potential predators such as birds to correctly identify which end is the head. If the centipede is mistakenly picked up by the tail end it can reach round and use its powerful jaws (which are actually modified legs) to defend itself.

What arthropods have two pairs of antennae?

Crustaceans are arthropods characterized (and classified) by their biramous (branching) appendages, which include two antenna pairs. The smaller set are referred to as antennules.

All other arthropod groups have one pair except chelicerates and proturans, which have no antennae.

What is arthropoda means jointed?

An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and jointed appendages. Arthropods are members of the Phylum Arthropoda (from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, "joint", and ποδός podos "foot", which together mean "jointed feet"), and include the insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and others. Arthropods are characterized by their jointed limbs and cuticles, which are mainly made of α-chitin; the cuticles of crustaceans are also biomineralized with calcium carbonate. The rigid cuticle inhibits growth, so arthropods replace it periodically by molting. The arthropod body plan consists of repeated segments, each with a pair of appendages. It is so versatile that they have been compared to Swiss Army knives, and it has enabled them to become the most species-rich members of all ecological guilds in most environments. They have over a million described species, making up more than 80% of all described living species, and are one of only two animal groups that are really successful in dry environments - the other being the amniotes. They range in size from microscopic plankton up to forms a few meters long.

Why are turtle not artropod?

Turtles are vertebrates (phylum Chordata, the chordates) as they have an internal skeleton including a spinal (vertebral) column or backbone. By contrast, phylum Arthropoda (the arthropods) are characterized by exoskeletons made from chitin, segmented bodies, and jointed appendages; along with other differences, they do not have backbones like turtles.

What animals are not arthropods?

Because Arthropoda is a phylum, one need only look for any other animal phylum to find non-arthopods. Chordates for example, mammals, fish, birds. Mollusca, with slugs, snails, squid, octopi. Echinoderms, like sand dollars and starfish. Annelida, with earthworms, leeches, and so on. Chances are, if there's an animal which doesn't have a chitin exoskeleton, you've found something not an arthropod.

What is athrapod?

a arthropod is a group a species containing Spiders lobster crab scropine harvestmen mites

and ticks

Does chordata have a coelom?

Some chordates have them, and in some the distinction may need to be qualified. In molluscs they remain undifferentiated, in mammals for example they differentiate into separate cavities, the pleural, peritoneal and pericardial.

Is a prawn a arthropod?

Yes. Arthropods are animals that have- during at least one stage in their life- segmented bodies, jointed legs, and an external skeleton called an exoskeleton. All crustaceans have segmented bodies, jointed legs, and exoskeletons. Some crustaceans like barnacles do not appear to have legs or body segments. However, these features can be seen on barnacle larvae. These are barnacles that are not yet adults and have not attached themselves to anything yet. Legs and body segments disappear from adult barnacles because they are not needed. The barnacle is still considered an arthropod because the features that define arthropods can be seen on it during part of its life.

Why is a mosquito called an arthropod and an insect?

Arthropod is a really general classification; it's a phylum, man, there are a whole lot of disparate critters that fall under this category. From wikipedia: "An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and jointed appendages."

Is a sea urchin a arthropod?

No. Sea urchins are echinoderms, meaning, appropriately enough, "spiny skin". Some of the characteristics of arthropods are jointed appendages, an exoskeleton, and a segmented body. While the hard test, or shell, of sea urchins could be thought of as an exoskeleton, sea urchins have no jointed appendages and do not have a segmented body.

Some examples of arthropods are shrimps, crabs, lobsters, and insects.

What is the difference between arthropods and molluscs?

An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and jointed appendages. Arthropods are members of the Phylum Arthropoda (from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, "joint", and ποδός podos "foot", which together mean "jointed feet"), and include the insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and others

The Mollusca, common name molluscs or mollusks,[note 1] is a large phylum of invertebrate animals. There are around 85,000 recognized extant species of molluscs. This is the largest marine phylum, comprising about 23% of all the named marine organisms. Numerous molluscs also live in freshwater and terrestrial habitats. Molluscs are highly diverse, not only in size and in anatomical structure, but also in behaviour and in habitat.

Are sponges arthropods?

Actually, a sea anemone is none of these. Sponges are sessile creatures, arthropods have exoskeletons, and fish swim. Sea anemones are a type of cnidarian. They often reproduce by releasing polyps. They are related to corals and jellyfish.

Is their more insects than human?

Generally, yes. If you find one in your house/apartment then you will want to take steps to kill all the potential ones lurking in their dark hiding places. Check out some of the other Q&A pages here to find out the best solutions for killing 'um. Also, keep in mind that prevention is critical, don't leave food out, never leave dirty dishes over night, try to seal up any entry points you can find, and so on.

Why do bugs exist?

Flies are generally considered to be pests, but they do serve a purpose. This purpose is served in the ecosystem. When flies lay their eggs, maggots help to break down garbage and organic matter. Flies also help to pollinate crops as fly around them.

Do arthropods have spiracles?

The larvae form of amphibians live in water and have gills. When they grow into their adult form they develop lungs. There are three orders of amphibians, Urodela, Anura and Apoda. Some Urodela (e.g Axolotls) retain their gills as adults, other orders do not.

Why are controls needed in the arthropods experiment described in the studyguide?

The treatments can be compared to each other instead of to a control

How long is an arthropod?

There are well over one million species of arthropods on Earth. All insects, arachnids (spiders), myriapods (centipedes, etc), and crustaceans (shrimp, lobsters, etc.) are arthropods. The smallest weigh less than 25 millionths of a gram and the most massive of all living arthropods, the American lobster, can weigh up to 20 kilograms (44 pounds). Some are so small that they cannot be seen without a microscope, although the Japanese spider crap has legs that span up to 5.5 meters (18 ft) from claw tip to claw tip.

What is an arthropleurid?

Arthropleura was a distant relative of millipedes and centipedes but much much bigger. Arthropleura lived in the carboniferous period.

How do you tell if thawed lobster tail is spoiled?

They smell like ammonia after they're cooked. That's why lobsters are usually cooked alive, because they deteriorate very quickly after death. And obviously, if you only have the tail, the lobster is dead.

Do lobsters ever stop growing?

When they grow, they have to molt their exoskeletons. That is also less accurately described as "shedding their skin".

Is spider an arthropod?

Yes, a spider belongs to Phylum Arthropoda.
