Encouraging natural enemies, excluding female box elder trees (Acer negundo), and growing strong-scented plants are natural ways of eliminating box elder bugs (Boisea trivittata) outdoors. Sealing cracks and fissures and vacuuming colonies off walls are natural ways of eliminating them indoors.

I don't know for sure there is a "queen stink bug" but I seen one at work today we were calling the "queen". It was twice as large as a normal stink bug (brown marmorated beetle) with larger wings, longer legs, longer antennae, but the feature that stuck out the most was a shell-like bit that stuck out in the middle of it's body and had a center row of spikes going down the middle of it. Also, it had a long black "feeder" (or sucker, I'm not an etymologist so I don't know the proper terminology) sticking out of it's "mouth" that was black and curled under it's head. It was big, and gross and when one of my coworkers kicked it, something red came out of it's hind-end and then retracted back inside. I'm 99% sure it was a stink bug, and if it was, it was certainly a bigger, badder version.

Position themselves under cover is the action that ladybugs take while it rains. The insects in question (Coccinellidae family) may remain atop leaves in the briefest and slightest of rainfalls since they have no problems navigating dew-laden blades and leaves. They will return to the type of habitat that most guarantees hatching and resting whenever stress or weather so demands: the undersides of leaves.

Nematodes are one of the preferred natural ways of killing fleas. They are great for getting rid of infestations in your yard. Basically, they're little worms that kill bugs. They are microscopic, and they can't live in people because our body temperature is too high. They burrow into bugs, mainly earth-dwelling ones, and kill them as part of their life cycle. They also don't damage your plants or anything else in your yard, and they naturally occur in most parts of the world. You can order them online and put a higher concentration in your yard, and it will reduce the population of fleas there without relying on any chemicals.

Depending on the species, a worker honey bee is between 13 and 17 mm long.

Bees collect nectar for food. Because raw nectar would not store for very long without fermenting, bee convert the surplus of nectar they collect into honey to use as food when nectar is not available. It is this surplus honey that we collect. Beekeepers then replace the honey with sugar syrup which, for the bees, is just as good.

certain species of ants use aphids similar to how humans use cows: they lead them to graze and collect a liquid discharge the aphids excrete from their abdomen. ants also protect aphids from harm similarly to how humans keep their livestock safe from harm.

If a hive loses the queen suddenly the workers will be aware of this quite quickly (within a couple of hours) as the queen pheromone dissipates. They will repond to this by making emergency queen cells on the comb over recently-laid eggs or young larvae and will feed them with royal jelly. This will produce new queens to replace the old one.

If they are unable to do this because there are no eggs or larvae, or only drone eggs and larvae, the colony will die out as the current generation of workers dies. The average life span of a worker in summer is about six weeks.

I do not think it is a spider (Arachnid) (8 legs). I think it is an insect (6 legs). It can JUMP very high and far. They are scary- sometimes grey colored to blend in to backgrounds, difficult to catch/kill - They live in cool dry places and are seen in the Summer and Spring. They are found under decks and in basements. I can not look this up on the Internet as the pictures would scare me. :)

trantula

Case or shell dependant on the insect other names may apply.

Their blood starts to burn off their body and some times their pigments may leak off (I tried this on a ladybug)

head, turso, stomach

Head, Thorax (where the legs come out), and Abdomen (houses digestive parts and reproductive parts)

Yes, yellow jacket stings itch. The insects in question (Dolichovespula spp, Vespula spp) lay claim to lance-like stingers with small barbs whose venom provokes potent reactions in vulnerable individuals. Females may leave susceptible people with itching, swollen patches -- and more if repeated stinging is engaged in.

ladybugs live on just about every continent. except for Antarctica of course,for it is much too cold. :)

sounds like a bee to me

They eat insects which eat a farmer's produce.

An active contact ingredient is the chemical that is put on plants to kill bugs. It may be applied as an aerosol or as a spray on plants and as granules or sprays at the vegetation's base. The particular name will depend upon the bug that is to be killed even though pyrethroid is a popular choice as the synthetic equivalent of the chrysanthemum-derived, eco-friendly, Mother Nature-made, plant-based pyrethrin.

sort of a trick answer to a trick question...for the most part ladybugs do not eat leaves but eat soft bodied insects, but there are a few species of ladybugs that feed off of plants and are considered pests, such as the Mexican Bean Beetle..they feed on the green growing leaves of various plants

Lar

to kill it use bug disaffecting

Better known as "Ladybirds" in the UK, they eat aphids (greenfly) and are a great help to gardeners.
