What are the colors of the different species of daddy long legs?
Cellars spiders are often confused with Harvestmen and Crane Flies. "Daddy long legs" is too broad a term to use, as they are all different creatures with different attributes. Scientifically, there is no animal called a Daddy Long Legs.
There isn't actually a clear-cut answer to this. The heaviest any insect ever gets is around 120g, achieved by the goliath beetle in its larval stage. For adult insects, the heaviest is probably an elephant beetle, as they very often exceed 60g. Nevertheless, the heaviest recorded is not an elephant beetle, but a freakishly large giant weta, recorded at a whopping 71g.

Soft bodied black and orange bug with spikes on its back?

How many eggs can stick insects lay?
Indian laboratory stick insects lay up to 200 eggs. They do not need any surface to lay them on they will just drop them. They take up to 3 months to hatch. It is very likely that some will have to be crushed because they will all hatch and there will be too many to be kept by 1 person. If you plan on selling them they will sell cheapest at 10p.
No. As odd as it may sound, the word "bug" is used scientifically to refer only to two suborders (Heteroptera and Homoptera) of the order Hemiptera. So cinch bugs, water bugs, bed bugs and cicadas are all "bugs", but lady bugs, potato bugs and doodlebugs, are not.
However, the word has its legitimate non-scientific meaning referring to just about anything that crawls, creeps, wiggles or squirms, and so the scientific "bugs" are sometimes called "true bugs".
Yes. Mosquitoes have bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means something has 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.
What are long red lines up the arm leading from a insect or spider bite?
This is not from the bug bite. This is an infection that needs to be looked at by a doctor. Currently, I have my hand warpped and taking heavy anti-biototics because I had the same thing. If you see it, you should head straight to a doctors. (Any bug that can bite and have bacteria on them can cause this)
Are insects attracted to a fern plant?
No. Butterflies are attracted to nectar producing flowers, and sugar.
How do you control clover mites in the house?
An indoor/outdoor plan of attack controls clover mites. Outdoors, by the beginning of May, the soil needs to be bare from the foundation walls out five feet. During the first week of May, pesticides then are applied onto the soil and the foundation walls. The applications are one foot out from the foundation walls, and over the wall surface from the ground up two feet. A particularly effective pesticide of low toxicity is permethrin.
Indoors, entry points such as cracks, crevices and fissures need to be identified and sealed. Then aerosol sprays may be used. The sprays need to be directed at the entry points, regardless of whether they're sealed or unsealed. Any clover mites on the floor need to be vacuumed, and the bag disposed of. This way of scooping up specimens minimizes the red smears and stains that their stressed body parts leave.
Flea larvae resemble the larvae of many herbivorous beetles. They are long, worm-like or caterpillar-like typically many-legged creatures often with a chitinous exoskeleton in place. They are not usually microscopic but are very, very small and so are best observed under magnification.
Aphids can be found in any warm or hot desert which has plants upon which they feed.

How do I take a stink bug smell off?
- after you get rid of the stink bug find dishes around your house
- then make sure you have really dirty dishes (like, bacon grease, iced tea, and coffee grinds on your dishes)
- next you put dish soap all over the dirty dishes
- now scrub your dishes to the max clean
- smell your hands and no more stink, just the dish soap smell and maybe a hint of dirty dishes
- if your hands smell like your dirty dishes then wash them with dish soap it should probably get rid of the greasy smell!!!!!!!!
- HAND SANITIZER-must be the alcohol in it.
