What is the life span of a bed bug?
Bed bugs lay eggs that are 1/25" long and are slightly curved. They are usually deposited in clusters. They are fastened with cement to cracks and crevices or rough surfaces near adult harborages. The eggs hatch in 4-12 days. The newly hatched nymph is straw colored before feeding. After getting a blood meal, the nymph turns red or purple in color because of the blood in its body. There are 5 nymph stages, and it usually takes 35-48 days for nymphs to mature. Female bed bugs deposit 3 to 8 eggs at a time. A total of 200-500 eggs can be produced per female. The eggs hatch in 4-12 days. Adult bed bugs can survive for 6-7 months without a blood meal and have been known to live in abandoned houses for 1 year. In some cases they survive without humans by attacking birds and rodents.

These are known as "True Bugs" and the Latin name for their order is Heteroptera.

Why red and black attract insects?
Darker-colored insects like to blend in, so they hide from predators in the shadows. Most arthropods are color blind, so they can't see red light. This causes them to mistake red objects for black and dark grey ones, so they don't realize that they're making themselves more obvious.

Insects are recognized by their hard skeleton on the outside; compound eyes; three identifiable body parts as a head, thorax, and abdomen; three pairs of jointed legs; and two antennae. Their members are among the pests and stressors of cactus plants. Examples of cactus insect pests include cactus or nopal moth caterpillars[Cactoblastis cactorum], cochineal insects [Dactylopius coccus], mealy bugs [Pseudococcidae family], pussy willow backed cactus thorned caterpillars, root mealy bugs [Phylloxera spp], and vine weevils [Otiorhynchus spp].
Beetle. Coleoptera. Biting mouth parts. The forewings are changed to form hard generally smooth elytra which protect the flimsy membranes of the hind wings, which are the actual flight wings. Elytra often brightly coloured. Lady beetle is a good example. The Thorax is movable.

Where do cicadas lay there eggs?

Crickets are some what related to Grasshoppers, but are by no means the same.
There are many physical differences between the too species. Crickets have a slightly flattened look to their body, and long antenna, whereas a Grasshopper has a similar body, but with large hind legs used for jumping and much shorter antenna. The Grasshopper antenna tend to be shorter that the length of their bodies, but the Crickets are normally longer.
The Cricket tend to come out at night and are classed as nocturnal, however Grasshoppers are normally found during the day light hours.
Grasshoppers make a loud sound by either rubbing the hind legs against the forewing or abdomen (this is called Stridulation), or by snapping their wings while in flight. Crickets, however, only use stridulation, and have two very distinctive chirps. One is for calling and the other is for mating. The calling chirp is the louder of the two.
The diet of the two insects also differs, The cricket is omnivorous and scavenges organic materials, as well as decaying plant matter, seedling plants and fungi. Crickets have also been known to consume their own dead when no other food source is available. The Grasshopper, on the other hand, is a herbivore and only eats plant, and grass matter.
These are only a few of the differences between the two species, and although they are similar in appearance, they are quite different many other ways.
Why is a honeybee considered an insect?
it is not because of god its because it was classified as insect by scientists when it was discovered a long time ago because of its six legs and it has an exoskeleton three main body parts the thorax the head and the abdomen. these are why a bee is known as an insect.
True flies have two wings. There are many species of fly and together they comprise the order of insects known as 'Diptera' -- literally 'two wings'. Fruit flies, blowflies, common house flies, crane flies and even mosquitoes and midges are examples of these true flies. By contrast, most insects have four wings (i.e. two pairs of wings), including a range of insects with 'fly' in their names. Butterflies, dragonflies, damselfiles and mayflie, for example, all have four wings.
