Do Boll Weevils Bite Humans! I will begin by telling the story. Recently I few days ago I returned from a hunt in Amarillo Texas to my home in Tennessee. Leaving my equipment bag on a chair in my bedroom for a few days. For about the past three nights I have been waking in the mornings with new bites each night. Thinking it to be a flea since our Labrador sleeps with us, I inspected her very closely. No fleas! This afternoon while inspecting the bed for the evening, "guess what I found"! Yes a small Boll Weevil in the center of the bed under the covers that had been injured probably by the dog jumping on the bed. I identified it via the Internet as confirming it was a boll weevil. Assuming that he had to be the culprit! It would seem that due to a lack of possible moisture or food he chose me as a host and left some nasty bites looking like the worst mosquito bite or flea bite you have ever had, not to mention the itch unmercifully. Even after using after-bite and other remedies. Can't advise about the poisonous section of this question, guess I will find out! However the itch is tremendous! LT.
I have less patience with someone who doesn't wear a watch than with anyone else,
Decaying plant matter, mainly. They help the ecosystem by recycling the rotting material at the bottom of the forest floor.
The Australian tiger beetle.
Australian tiger beetles, genus Cicindela, subgenus Rivacindela, (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) are the fastest running insects known. The fastest, Cicindela hudsoni, can run 2.5 meters per second (5.6 miles per hour).
It has been commonly thought to be the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana- but they only reach 1.5 m/s (3.4 mph).
Ladybugs and cockroaches are in the same family (insects) but not the same Genus due to their obvious differences.
I've been having dreams with roaches lately. so i look this stuff up. And the meaning seems to fit..it means that you need self-cleansing of your spiritual self. You need to confront certain fears or things that you have not gotten over. If in the dream you step on the roach and kill it..thats a good thing. you're making progress. this of course, is if you're scared of them..in the dream. if you see them and seem not to care, there are problems around you but they don't seem to mess with your life.
Cockroaches and other some other insects don't have bones inside them holding them together like we do. They have a outer skeleton which is tough enough to protect the insect and keep it from drying out.
cedar, eucalyptus oil and rosemary. Place essential oils of these scents on cotton balls and place where roaches have been seen. Re-apply oils to cotton every few days to keep scents strong and fresh.
Cockroaches can survive under water for up to 15 minutes.
http://ct.water.usgs.gov/education/riverfacts.htm Mythbusters showed 5 of 5 cockroaches survived after being under water for 30 minutes http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/mythbusters-drowning-cockroaches.html
I would look for other solutions to your problem.
Bringing seagulls into you home would make a bigger mess than the cockroaches do.
I would start by cleaning your house, then calling an exterminator.
Organophosphates (OP) mimic acetylcholine (ACh, a neurotransmitter) and reacts irreversibly with the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). AChE is needed to breakdown ACh after it has been used to send messages across the synapse of a nerve. Without breakdown of ACh, the muscles will be constantly stimulated resulting in paralysis and death

The American female cockroach reproduces up to 50 egg cases containing 16 eggs each that yield 300 or more nymphs.
They see like a fly since their eyes are compound but very weak as they rely mostly on antennae and they can see colors but not all-light in the red spectrum for example which is why roach baits are usually red, so you can check them with a light and they won't scatter.
Yes, cockroaches can live in houseplants. Roaches are attracted to organic things like soils from houseplants. Keeping the houseplants watered can help in eliminating the cockroaches.

Some species include eurycotis floridana, periplaneta americana, p. australasiae, etc
A tick can live a week or more without its' head.
Maybe. There is no reason that they would avoid you if you blocked their path or if you had food on you.
There are not many predators that eat cocatoos in Australia aside from ferral cats, crows if they are road kill and posibly hawks.
