Mayfly Nymphs live under stones in fast-flowing water or among plants in slow streams. Some species live in small burrows at the bottom of the stream. Some are flat and cling to the bottom of rocks in fast-flowing streams. They are mostly found in cool, more permanent water bodies like streams and lakes.
Do some insects eat small animals?
If you mean dead then some do but most insects are too small to eat small animals alive. If you include spiders though then there are some spiders large enough to eat small birds and mice.
If you are greatly concerned about the dog, take him to the vet. For a home treatment, take a pair od electric clippers and shave a small area around the spot. Using betadine, chlorhexidine, or other safe disinfectant, scrub the area with clean rags or gauze until clean. Start with a sewing needle and pierce just deep enough to reach the white part. If it begins to ooze, apply pressure to the area to remove all the infection. Otherwise, scrape the top part off so whatever is below is exposed. If it is a tick or other foreign object, remove it. Disinfect the area again, including the actual sore, and keep it clean and clear of infection until it heals.
How long does it take for a tick to be fully engorged and detach from the body?
It may take 4 to 6 days for the tick to reach fully engorged. Once fully engorgeded the tick is slightly larger than before. The tick may feed uninterrupted for many days before falling off.

How do you pull a chigger out of your skin?
"The best precaution against chigger bites is simply taking a warm soapy bath with plenty of scrubbing as soon as possible after exposure. If you bathe at once, while the chiggers are still running over your body, you can wash them off before they bite. A bath will also remove any attached and feeding chiggers before you start to feel the itch. Warm soapy water is all that is necessary to remove and kill chiggers. There is no need, and it is rather dangerous, to apply household products such as kerosene, turpentine, ammonia, alcohol, gasoline, salt or dry cleaning fluid. Don't do it. Attached chiggers are removed by even the lightest rubbing. If you are away from civilization, you can remove attached chiggers before they do much damage by frequently rubbing down with a towel or a cloth. What can you do to alleviate suffering if these precautions fail? Lotions will relive the itching somewhat, but no substance is completely effective. The only ultimate cure is time, since there is nothing you can do to dislodge the chigger's feeding tube, the true cause of your itch. You must simply wait until your body breaks down and absorbs the foreign object. In the meantime, local anesthetics such as benzocaine, camphor-phenol and ammonium hydroxide may provide you with several hours of comfort at a stretch. Over-the-counter creams can also help. In rare cases, some people are allergic to chigger bites and require prescription medications from their doctor." this is from: http://mdc.mo.gov/nathis/arthopo/chiggers/

Are there chiggers in Minnesota?
Yes, in early summer, but depending on the lake it could be all summer. They are usually in more shallow water. My dad got them really bad. You can prevent them by towel drying as soon as you get out of the lake and taking a cold shower. Air drying just lets them burrow in to your skin.
What bugs live in the sand on beaches?
The only insects in the ocean live in the coastal areas, salt marshes, and tidal pools. These include various fly larvae, midges, some beetles, and several species of true bugs. While these insects may spend some time in the ocean, not all parts of their life cycle necessarily occur in the ocean. Some beetles will live in shallow areas of the ocean as adults, but also come out of the water at times.
One interesting group of insects is the Halobites. They are water skimmers that live their entire life on top of the ocean and are found great distances from shore. They lay their eggs on floating sea debris.
The best guess as to why there are no insects that live underwater in the open ocean is that insects evolved on land whereas the crustaceans evolved underwater giving them a competitive advantage from millions of years head start in colonizing the ocean. Because the insects developed on land, they would have to redevelop the traits necessary to live in the ocean.
