Bark beetles bore through the bark to eat the tasty nutrients in the inner bark known as the phloem and cambium layers. If they eat all the way around the tree, they will girdle the tree and the tree will die. Girdling cuts the trees food tubes and it will be unable to send nutrients up and down the trunk.
No, ladybugs trapped inside houses do not eat clothing. The insects in question (Coccinellidae family) number among the world's non-herbivorous predators -- except for the Epilachninae subfamily that eats fungus, mildew, mushrooms and plant parts -- and will not touch clothing, fabrics or houseplants. They instead will die of dehydration, unless they access dripping faucets or shower water or water bowls, and of starvation.
An exoskeleton is the kind of skeleton that a ladybug [Coccinellidae] has. That's the way in which the hard outer shell of the ladybug is described. That characteristic and the fact of having two antennae, three sets of jointed legs, three main body parts, and compound eyes are what make ladybugs members of the insect class.
An exoskeleton (external skeleton covering).
Yes, If you don't believe me put a slug in a jar for a couple of hours... they also defecate, both comes out the side of their heads.

Where does the stink of a stink bug come from?

Why is the band beetles called beetles?
Never heard of them! They could be a ripoff/ cover band of The Beatles though. Ringo Starr came up with the name on a whim, the rest said it was cool. In fact the Beatles got along famously until Yoko came along, and all hell broke loose.
Are Japanese Beetles harmful to dogs?
Japanese Beetles are harmless to humans and dogs. They solely feed off of plants.
How do you keep Rhino beetles as pets?
Steps
1. get 2 pairs of imagoes of rhino beetle
2. get 5 containers to rear them
3. get a water sprayer
4. mix decaying wood, decaying leaves and soil and fill half of each container with it
5. put twigs in it this helps them to climb when they fall
6. keep each of them in separate container ,5th container is for breeding
7. get some food such as apple, banana, insect jelly, honey, tree sap
8. feeding them sugar from sugarcane makes them larger and stronger.
9. spray water in the containers don't make them wet just make them moisturized
steps 10,11,12 are for breeding
10. at breeding time feed the female with proten rich food you can pour some yogurt to the insect jelly
11. get some wood that is decaying with fungus in the 5th container
12. put one pair in the 5th container if they are fighting try another pair if female starts digging hole in wood put male in another container do not disturb the 5th container for 2 days after the female stops digging holes in it remove the female from the container and pour the mixture of decaying wood, decaying leaves and soil and spray water on it as u do with other containers, larvae may take 1to 3 years to grow
From what I understand, most species of scarabs are not poisonous. However, adult scarabs can bite really hard. This does not go for all species, as one species called the Ten-Lined June Beetle does not bite usually. However, if you come across a scarab, be on the safe side and just try to stay away. Again, their bite is extremely painful and if you get bitten by a scarab larva, it is even worse since larva can inject digestive juices into the bite wound if they break the skin, which causes the wound to be much more painful and causes it to take a lot longer to heal. Sorry for the horror story, but this information is useful.
How has the rhino beetle adapted to life in the rainforest?
It adapts by using it's strong shell to carry food and defend itself.
What methods are used to control Japanese beetles?
Biological, cultural, mechanical, non-organic and organic methods are used to control Japanese beetles.
Specifically, the insect in question (Popillia japonica) displays complete metamorphosis by passing through four distinctly different stages in the life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, adult. The larval or the adult stage is the most common point at which applicators intervene since eggs are laid 2 to 4 inches (5.08 to 10.16 centimeters) below the ground and pupae cluster around plant roots. Larvae and adults will be more treatable since they can be accessed above-ground.
Biological applications center around fungal pathogens (Beauveria bassiana, Metarrhiizium), milky spore disease-inducing bacteria (Bacillus popilliae ), insect-eating nematodes (Heterorhabditisspp), and parasitic wasps (Tiphia vernalis) against grubs and parasitic flies (Istocheta aldrichi) against adults. Cultural controlsemphasize avoiding plants which Japanese beetles favor (such as berries and small fruits, birch and linden, crape myrtle and rose, sassafras and willow, summersweet and Virginia creeper) and favoring those which the beetles avoid (burning bush and forsythia, clematis and lilac, dogwood and redbud, hemlock and pine, holly and magnolia). Mechanical methods - which will attract every beetle within range - include pheromone traps, which generally are ineffective on an individual basis and work most effectively when a large area (such as a neighborhood) is involved. Non-organic and organic treatments require use of insecticides, such as those with carbaryl (against adults) and imidacloprid (against larvae) in terms of synthetics and those with insecticidal soap or Neem extract in the case of botanicals.
What does a stag beetle drink?
They eat juicy fruits, of course! If you got a pet stag beetle at home, best to feed it with YELLOW JUICY MELONS! About a piece of square shaped melon, each side half a cm is totally good!
Hope this helps!
What is an example of an lepidoptera?
One example of a lepidoptera insect is the monarch butterfly. This is because the lepidoptera order consists of butterflies and moths.
Who made pasiphae fall in love with a bull which resulted in the birth of the minotaur?
I don't see why you can't just look this up using either google or a mythology site.... Anyway, it's poseidon. I didn't even know that till I looked it up!
Where do carpet beetles originate from?
Some carpets originate in large carpet mills, where they are woven and glued with big, fast production machines. Others are woven on manual looms by individuals.
How long can stinkbugs hold their breath under water?
most bugs don't have lungs so they don't breath like you and I. oxygen passively enters and exits their bodies through microscopic holes. if you impede oxygen from entering their bodies, they will only live for a short period. some bugs (ants for example) may be able to hold on to an air bubble which will let them live a bit longer if they've been submerged.
