Garden Insects
The term 'garden insect helpers' generally refers to insects that are beneficial as pollinators or as feeders on destructive bugs. Among the best known of the beneficial insects are the ladybird beetle, the colorful butterfly, and the busy bee. What's bugging your garden? Are there slugs in your salad greens, ants in your azaleas, bean beetles in your beans, or some other pesty insect in your garden? Insects like to eat, but gardeners are not willing to share.

How can you get rid of a bee hive created under your ground cover?
Contacting professional colony-removers is the way to rid ground cover of an underlying bee hive. The insects in question number among an environment's beneficial arthropods, be they located above, on, or under the ground. So their removal needs to be conducted by experienced professionals, during inactive hours in bee schedules, such as before 10:00 a.m. and subsequent to 3:00 p.m., and with head-to-toe personal protective equipment.
When bees visit flowers they suck nectar from the nectaries. They swallow it and store it in the honey crop. This is not part of the digestive system and no digestion takes place. As the bee swallows the nectar she (all worker bees are female) adds enzymes from glands opening into the mouth and these start breaking down the complex sugar molecules into simple sugars. For example, sucrose is broken down into glucose and fructose.
When the bee returns to the hive she regurgitates the nectar and passes it to one or more of the hive bees who will add more enzymes. The nectar may be passed from bee to bee several times before it is finally deposited into a honeycomb cell. The enzymes also combine with sugars to produce compounds which give honey its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.
When first put in the cells, the nectar contains 80% to 90% water and if left like this would soon start to ferment. To prevent this the bees fan the cells with their wings and this air movement, together with the heat in the hive, evaporates the water. When it gets down to about 18% water the bees decide it is ready and cover the cell with a cap of wax. That is honey.
Where do desert stink bugs live?
Continental United States of America and of Mexico are where desert stink bugs live.
Specifically, the bug in question carries the scientific name Chlorochroa osborni. It carries the additional common name of terrestrial turtle bug in English. It is not well-known since it ranks among the lesser-studied insects. It tends to be a familiar form of stink bug in Oklahoma and Texas even though its feeding does not get as much out of hand as its relatives, such as the exotic invader called the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys). Its species name tracks back to Henry Fairfield Osborn (1857-1935), a 19th- and 20th-century educator at Columbia and Princeton Universities and the American Museum of Natural History's vertebrate paleontology curator (1891-1909) and president (1909-1933).
Can snails be trained to do things?
No snails can't do anything, Sorry if you wanted to have a pet snail.
Which region of the grasshopper's body is specialized for movement?
The midsection of the grasshopper, known as the thorax, is specialized for movement. This segment houses the three pairs of legs and two pairs of wings that the grasshopper uses for hopping and flying.
Is there any relationship between the grasshopper and grass?
Yes, there is a relationship between the grass and the grasshopper. The insects in question (Caelifera suborder) number among the world's herbivores. They prioritize grasses and grassy plants as preferred food sources.
Why are African honey bees called African honey bees?
That they are native to the African continent is the reason why African honey bees are so called.
Specifically, the African honey bee (Apis mellifera scutellata
) can be found natively in central and much of southern Africa. It faces competition from the Cape honey bee (Apis mellifera capensis) in southernmost South Africa. In turn, it offers competition to introduced European honey bees (Apis mellifera), which are less aggressive all the while producing far more honey.
Bees carry the pollen between flowers, which enables the fruit to grow.

Do tropical butterflies eat grass and bugs?
No, tropical butterflies do not eat bugs and grasses. Adult lepidopterans either have liquid or no diets whereas their juvenile larval stage as caterpillars involves preying upon the leafy parts of non-woody or woody plants. Butterflies relish nectaring and puddling whereas some other lepidopterans, particularly moths, may emerge from the larval cocoon with no mouth parts at all.
Proper cultivation procedures and schedules of environmentally-friendly treatments are the best ways to eliminate aphids.
Specifically, aphids attack plants that are stressed, such as by drought. Plants generally can be watered whenever there has been no rain or snow fall event within the previous 7 - 10 days. They cooperate with regular monitoring which will mean early detection and treatments before problems become serious and warrant either plant removal or severe procedures (such as resorting to malathion). Environmentally-friendly controls include:
Beneficial insects (lacewings, ladybugs, parasitic wasps, praying mantids);
Botanicals, horticultural oils (against eggs), and insecticidal soaps (against adults);
Native plants (cardinal flowers, coneflowers, Joy Pye weed).
What are the tiny creatures or insects that crawl over the surface of some slugs?
Slug mites are the tiny creatures that can be found crawling over the surface of some slugs.
Specifically, slugs can be hosts to parasites. The most common parasites include certain flies, mites, and nematodes. Slug mites (Riccardoella limacum) live in their host's respiratory cavity, from which they quite visibly swam the slug's body.
What are these tiny fast moving white bugs on my couch?
These are more than likely immature (baby) bed bugs, as they have a whitish yellow hue and are very small and fast moving. This has little to do with your cleanliness as bed bugs can easily attach themselves to clothing, be transported in travel, and hide in the crevasses of furniture for a considerable amount of time. You should also check for evidence of the mature bed bug, brownish red in color with a flat semi oval body shape. (Web MD has some very decent photos online to help you better identify them.) Why anyone would classify these as baby rats is beyond me. that is disgusting they are most likely baby rats considering you can see them....be clean!
Solutions are meant for the best, but we live in a imperfect world. There is rarely a chance that there is a perfect solution, some people are bound to get hurt from it.
Like South Africa hosting the World Cup, brings a good amount of money as a solution to their poverty, but the side affect is that the money coming in will need to be used for other reasons, rather than the country benefiting!
Yes. Virtually any plant or animal that you can see without a microscope is multicellular.
