Garden Insects

Two is the number of pairs of eyes that the whirligig beetle [Gyrinidae family] has. A pair on the top of the beetle's head sees clearly above water. A pair on the bottom sees clearly underwater.

you can block up the top and bottom of the door in your house. first the bottom part you can use a rug that is just about the same size as the little crack at the bottom of the door then use some cloth to block up the top of the door. If you see any little holes in you house you should also block that up. Or you could make your kitchen smell proof so that the scorpions won't get attracted to the smell. or draw up the curtains so that they won't get attracted to the light of the house. the thing to know don't let the scorpions get attracted to you house.

Originally, the area that is now New Jersey was simply a landfill to the north of Delaware Bay used by most of heavily populated cities on the eastern seaboard. Over time, the landfill had encompassed several thousand square miles. Unscrupulous land developers started leveling out and building lots on top of these dump sites. Vagabonds and the like purchased these dubious properties as low cost housing. Many decades later, the landfill has begun to rot. In many areas, the state has begun to pour thick concrete in attempts to entomb the decay, but the odors seep through tiny fissures in the concrete. Alas, some experts believe the only way to cure the rotting foundation is with controlled burns of majors areas of the state.

Also to clarify it's north Jersey that's stinks not south!

Nearly all snails have radulas. Radulas are hard, ribbonlike organs that look like tongues. Radulas contain rows of tiny teeth. Some snails have just a few teeth while others have thousands. As these teeth wear away over time, they are replaced by new ones. Snails don't chew their food. Instead, they use their radulas to grind, grate, and tear it.

Directing a stream of hose water and spraying insecticidal soap are ways to get rid of white bugs on plants. The answer assumes that the white bugs are aphids, cottony scale, mealy bugs, or white-flies. The insecticidal soap may be home-made or store-bought, with the former involving 1 tablespoon of dish detergent (supplemented by cayenne pepper, japapeno juice, rubbing alcohol, or tabasco sauce) in 1 pint of room-temperature water.

Controlling nightlights, monitoring leaks, and sealing cracks are ways to eliminate earwigs (Dermaptera insect order) from birdhouses without harming potential nesting birds. Birds like to feed upon nutrient-rich earwigs, which are attracted to damp, rotting wood; house and yard nightlights; and shelter entryways.

There are many different species with different characteristics, but in general they are large, heavy-bodied moths with long, thin wings. They have very fast and powerful flight, giving them the nickname "hawk moths". Many species also have a long proboscis that they use to drink nectar while hovering in front of flowers, giving them the name "hummingbird moths". Look for pictures of the White-lined Sphinx and Pandorus Sphinx to see a typical sphinx moth shape. To see some bizarre sphinx moths that don't fit this general description, look for Grote's Sphinx or Northern Pine Sphinx.

Actually, yes. Mothballs are quite toxic to cats. They destroy a cats liver. There are alternatives to keeping cats out of certain areas of your home and garden that are safe and organic. Orange and lemon peels are a good one. Try this website. http://www.care2.com/greenliving/keeping-cats-out-of-the-garden.html

Fired accurately with a catapult they can sting a bit.

Clover mites are long-legged, oval-shaped, red-brown predators of alyssum, clover, daffodil, dandelion, lawn grass, ornamental flowers, primrose, sage, shepherd's purse, and strawberry. The arachnid species in question (Bryobia praetiosa) is considered an indoor and outdoor pest. Outdoors, clover mites may leave grass silver-colored and plants stippled while indoors they release a red stain on sunlit surfaces when squashed or threatened.

Ants like sugar more than cheese because they think the sweet scent is the strongest and cheese does not have any strong smelling scent to it. Also, they mostly feed on a sweet substance because they are secreted by aphids and other plant-sucking insects.

A chaffinch eats mainly insects, like bugs,spiders and lots lots lots more!

caterpillars hide in trees

Yes, it is the oil (cymbopogon flexuosus) found within the plant that acts as an insect repellent, and insecticide. It is certainly not effective in all situations and I would suggest that you refer to the EPA's chemical database for more information. It is obviously recognized by them as such; the EPA code for Lemongrass Oil is 040502. It is a tropical grass native to southern India, and Sri Lanka. It's scientific name is Cymbopogon Citratus.

No, many invertebrates do not have exoskeletons. For instance, the octopus (a shell-less mollusc) is an invertebrate but has no exoskeleton - it uses it flexibility to move into deep crevaces looking for prey to eat. There are also earthworms (annelids or segmented worms) that are invertebrates but have no exoskeletons.

An exoskeleton is a rather specialized organ most commonly associated with insects.

The most common species of ladybird in Britain is the seven-spot ladybird. This bright red ladybird has seven spots and is thought to have inspired the name ladybird: "Lady" referring to the Virgin Mary (Our lady) who in early paintings is seen wearing a red cloak; the seven spots are symbolic of the seven joys and seven sorrows of Mary.

It sounds like a wolf spider. The female is much larger than the male. See the related link for an identification chart.
