Insects

Washington's official state insect is the Green Darner Dragonfly.

The fastest ground insect is the cockroach. They are capable of speeds of up to 3.4 miles per hour which equates to 50 body lengths in 1 second.

The arthropod body plan has a great deal to do with how they are classified. Insects are hexapods with three body sections, a head, consollidated thorax with three leg pairs, and an abdomen. The chelicerates, like arachnids, have two main body sections and eight legs. Myriapods have up to hundreds of sections each with a leg pair. Many crustaceans are decapods, have ten legs, often a fused cephalothorax and articulated abdominal segments like lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, prawns and krill; similar is true of crabs except the short abdomen (tail) is folded up beneath the thorax. Trilobites (now extinct) are named for having three longitudinal lobes.

Yes, all scorpions are vemomous, though an emperor scorpion's is one of the milder ones. Being stung by an emperor is no worse than a bee sting. If you are allergic to any kind of insect bites and stings, you may have problems if stung by a emperor scorpion

i dont know but i have been bit by a simalir insect with 2 red spots on its wings, no visable stinger.... i dont know but i have been bit by a simalir insect with 2 red spots on its wings, no visable stinger....

I work at a truckstop in Mn and we are about 2.5 miles from water and we have these things hanging and flying yes flying around at night by the gas pumps and diesel pumps. So while they are called water scorpions there is no water near the truckstop but a plethora of these nasty little creatures, especially by our box crusher. The only real difference I have noticed between these and pics from wikipedea is they lack the breathing tube on their backside, and they yes they do fly. Otherwise they are one and the same ugly creepy bugs. I have pic posted on FB of one I trapped in a container to ask others what it was. My darling 13 y/o genius knew right away and now here I am answering your question. But to answer it for real, it is said they live in shallow water near shorelines and feed on fairy shrimp and tadpoles.

you know when an earthworm is dead when you jab at a couple of times with a stick and it starts to curl up. and then it stops moving. if you r sure that the worm is not dead, pour salt over it and that will always kill it.

The mosquitos are insects which make up the family Culicidae. They have a pair of scaled wings, a pair of halteres, a slender body, and long legs. The females of most mosquito species suck blood (hematophagy) from other animals, which has made them one of the most deadly disease vectors known to man, killing millions of people over thousands of years and continuing to kill millions per year by the spread of diseases.

Both male and female mosquitos are nectar feeders, but the female is also capable of haematophagy (drinking blood). Females do not require blood for survival, but they do need supplemental protein for the development and laying of their eggs. Prior to sucking the blood, they inject a mild painkiller, which numbs the host to the pain from the "bite" (Note: mosquitos do not actually bite). The Toxorhynchites species of mosquito never drinks blood. This genus includes the largest of the extant mosquitos, the larvae of which are predatory on the larvae of other mosquitos. These mosquito eaters have been used in the past as mosquito control agents, with varying success

In the Spanish language, the word Mosquito (little fly) dates back to about 1572. The word was adopted to replace the term "biting flies" to prevent confusion with the house fly. It is derived from the word fly (Latin musca, cf. Skt maksh) and is related to the Italian moschetta and the French moustique. Mosquitoes were originally called "les moucherons" or "les cousins" by French writers, "Stechmücken" or "Schnaken" by Germans, "mygg" and "mygga" by Scandinavians, and "κώνωψ" (konops) by the ancient Greeks. The Scandinavian word is related to the Modern Greek word "μύγα" (myga) for the housefly. The Icelandic "mý" mostly stands for biting midges or non-biting chironomids, as there are no mosquitos in Iceland. Aristotle referred to mosquitoes in 300 B.C. as "empis". == ==

I have one that looks exactly like you describe, but only 1/2 " long. Could it be the same bug?
