What is the name of pet worms that look like white rice?
I believe it is hookworms. Your local vet would tell you for sure if you call them and my local vets don't charge an office visit I can just go get medicine if I know the weight of my dog, or you can bring them with and weight them there and get the meds.
I have an old wildlife documentary where there is this little snake,(which the documentary fails to mention by name), attacks, kills and eats a giant centipede. It feeds "almost exclusively on giant centipedes." Though the the snake is bitten several times by the centipede in the attack, it is not affected by it; but the snakes own venom kills the centipede in seconds. And even though the snake seems longer in length, the centipede is 3 to 4 time bigger in girth. This snake, after subduing the centipede, proceeds in swallowing it whole. Head first. Alas! It's from the Tantilla family and is called a "blackhead" as well as, a "centipede snake" -Brent Mejia, Golden Meadow, Louisiana
Worms use their muscles and setae, short bristly hairs, to move. The setae help them control their speed, and latch on to the ground. They have two kinds of muscles: circular and longitudinal. When they tighten their circular muscles they become long and thin, and their front end moves forward. Then they contract their longitudinal muscles to move their back end toward their front end.
Do centipedes have more legs than millipedes?
Centipedes can have from 20 to 300 legs, depending on species, while millipedes have from 36 to 750 legs. So Illacme Pleniples, a type of millipede, has more legs than any centipede, but Glomeris Marginata, a millipede with 36 legs, has less legs than, for example, Nannarrup Hoffmani, a centipede with 84 legs.
What type of worm is white with redish head?
The description you provided is characteristic of the Red Wiggler worm (Eisenia fetida), a type of composting worm commonly used in vermicomposting. These worms have a white body with a reddish head and are known for their ability to break down organic matter efficiently.
most roundworms live in the small intestine of the host but some move through the host body till they get back to the small intestine
sure they live in people's bodies but they also live in deep bodies of salt water and fresh water lakes plus don't forget the soil....
Where can you find information on feather duster worms?
You can find information on feather duster worms in marine biology books, online marine life databases, and scientific journals. Websites of marine conservation organizations and aquarium websites may also provide information on feather duster worms.
Are there more stars or more ants?
I would have to say there is more stars. The universe is alot older than Earth and there are just more stars that formed before Earth. But there are a lot of ants, just not more than stars.
It sounds like you may be dealing with millipedes. Millipedes are long, skinny arthropods with distinctive antennae and the ability to coil up when threatened. They are typically harmless and are commonly found in damp environments. You may want to implement pest control measures to help limit their presence in your home.
Centipedes are active hunters, and they look around for smaller insects or spiders to eat. Rarely, a centipede will attack a larger prey. Where there is no prey, they will consume certain types of plants that have some of their necessary proteins.
They eat insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates. If the centipede is large enough it will even attack small vertebrates like lizards.
What characteristics are unique to nematodes?
· They are also known as round worms.
· They are triploblastic, bilateral, vermiform and pseudocoelomate
· They have bodies that are covered in cuticles, which must be molted.
· They have Amphids which are cephalic sense organs
· Sense organs and sex lips surround their mouths.
· They have a unique excretory system but no special circulatory or gas exchange systems.
· They are gonochoristic.
What is a food storage sac in segmented worms?
A food storage sac in segmented worms, such as earthworms, is called a crop. The crop temporarily stores ingested food before it moves on to the gizzard for grinding. This helps regulate the release of food into the digestive system for more efficient processing.
What is it called when a worm changes to a butterfly?
ALL butterflies come from cocoons.
No they don't. Moths come from cocoons. Butterflies come from a chrysalis. Actually moths do too, but the caterpillars of moths make a cocoon around themselves before becoming a chrysalis inside the cocoon.
Is tape worms segmented worms?
Yes. However, this is not a true coelom. Roundworms are pseudocoelomates -- their mesoderm lines the endoderm and ectoderm, but there is no connection between the two. Therefore, it does not satisfy the definition of a coelom. However, since there is a body cavity still, this animal is said to be a pseudocoelomate.
List three ways that worms benefit the soil?
Does anything eat the Pompeii worm?
The Pompeii worm is primarily consumed by specialized scavengers like deep-sea snails, shrimps, and certain fish species. These organisms feed on the mucus secreted by the Pompeii worm as they graze on the tube worm's exterior. However, the Pompeii worm has evolved heat-resistant adaptations, making it unpalatable to most predators.
What are the medicinal use of leech?
hi,
Yes, Speccially in blood poisining from heavy metals, like lead (pb). Has they clean the blood while ingesting the lead or any other metal, while our body produces fresh untainted blood
They are used as a medicinal treatment, and in some countries they are considered a good meal
Can an organism belong in more than one kingdom?
no. you said... "animal" so it clearly only belongs in the ..."animal kingdom" only.
What is the body symmetry of earthworms?
Earthworms, like all arthropods, have bilateral symmetry. This means they have 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.
HABITAT
Leeches Live Where?
Leeches live all over the world. There about 10% that live in the United States. Most leeches like moist habitats with lots of water. Swampy areas are very popular leech hangouts. You are not likely to find leeches in dry climates. You will find them in rain forest environments and near rivers, streams, ponds but not in desert environments. Most leeches live in fresh water.
TEMPERATURES
The temperatures in the leeches environment are considered temperate - generally meaning all four seasons are observed. Since they live near water temperatures tend to be higher then what you would find inland. Many leeches live in rainforests, which are hot year round.
WATER
Leeches need water to survive so you will find lots of water in the environment that they live in. Leeches must keep their bodies moist to live.
PLANT LIFE
There are a lot of plants in the environment that leeches live in because of the amount of water. The plants provide places for the leeches to hide to get their prey and to prevent from
ANIMAL LIFE
There are a lot of animals in a leeches environment (many taking advantage of the water source they live by). This provides plenty of prey for the leech.
What do worms put in soil to help your plants grow?
worms play a very important role in the ecology or "health" of the soil. Worms break down organic matter (leaves, sticks, chaff, etc) into smaller components which can be utilized by plants. The process of breaking down organic matter also can affect the soil, which can be particularly helpful.As lowering the pH can make important nutrients like iron available to the plants. Worms also physically disturb the soil as they move through it, breaking it up and allowing oxygen to reach lower depths, which is very beneficial the microorganisms in the soil, and, by extention, to the plants.
These creatures are most likely starfish. Starfish have the ability to regenerate lost body parts, including their arms, which allows them to reproduce asexually through fragmentation. If a starfish is cut into pieces, each piece has the potential to grow into a new individual.
