Insects

It depends on what type of beetle. There are water beetles that like to live in the water or around it and there are beetles that live in tree bark, rhinoceros beetles live in the rainforet etc. Please specify your question.

There are no insects that live within the ocean but there are several species of Halobites that remain on the surface of the ocean and live of plankton.

The problem can be broken down in 5 regions including a lack of air within the sea water, depth, the salinity, lack of nutrients and a lack of plants as well as competition from crustaceans. Check out the Related Link below for more information.

Millions of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) qualify as such.

The most abundant creatures in the rainforest are insects. To avoid predators, many of these insects have developed camouflage. One example is the Leafhopper which looks like thorns. Walking sticks, katydids, and moths resemble twigs, leaves, or bark. When the dead leaf camouflage that the butterfly uses does not work, they use a startling mechanism. Sometimes when a predator gets too close, the butterfly opens and flashes its bright color topped wings. Hopefully, this action startles the predator enough that the butterfly has time to escape.

Usually, poisonous animals and insects also display bright colors, to warn predators that they are deadly when eaten. The poison arrow frog has bright red, yellow, or blue colored skin that intimidates most animals. Heliconid butterflies have brightly colored wings and a bitter taste to remind birds not to eat them.

Predators also use camouflage so they can sneak up on their prey. The clouded leopard’s coat has black spots so it can hide in the shadows. The fer-de-lance snake is easily hidden in decaying leaves with its mottled, brown skin. The matamata, which resembles a turtle, can snatch up fish with its leaf-like shape and appearance.

Camouflaged animals are not always 100 percent safe from predators. Antbirds have an eye and an appetite for stationary, camouflaged, or hard to find insects. These birds follow army ant lines. They do not eat the ants, but use the ants to find their food. They just wait to see what insects move out of the army ants way. When a camouflaged insect moves it becomes visible to the bird and the bird eats it.

Many animals live in the treetops. Sloths, sun bears, giant squirrels, lemurs, tropical porcupines, spider monkeys, pangolins, sifakas, tarsiers, indris, gibbons, anteaters, and many more animals take advantage of life in the trees. Most of the rainforests food can be found here.

Leaves are an easy food to find in the treetops. However, leaves, which are made of cellulose, are hard to digest for some animals. Some animals, like the colobus monkey, sloth, and other leaf eaters, have developed compounds in their stomachs to help digest cellulose. Because cellulose still takes a long time to digest, plant eaters usually move slower than meat, insect, or fruit eaters.

Many animals also dine on fruits and nectar. Fruit is available for frugivores year round in the rainforest. Nectar, which is made mostly of sugar and water, provides energy for bats, hummingbirds, bees, and wasps. Hummingbirds also eat insects for protein.

Animals, like bush babies, lemurs, and pygmy marmosets, eat sap out of trees and gum from the chicle tree. They use their sharp teeth to peel off bark.

Predators in the tropical rainforest use force, skill, traps, and poisons to kill their prey. The jaguar has a muscular body, sharp teeth, and a powerful jaw, which it uses to crush the skulls of its prey. Scorpions, spiders, and some snakes use poisons to kill their prey. The orb-weaving spider in New Guinea weaves strong enough webs to catch birds. The boa constrictor can strangle even a human to death in its muscular coils. Giant anteaters have long, sticky, 24-inch (60 centimeter) barbed tongues to get termites out of narrow termite nests.

Decomposers do the dirty work in the tropical rainforest. Without decomposers, the forest floor would be piled high with fallen tree branches, leaves, and other organic litter that has not decomposed. Decomposers include earthworms, fungi, termites, and bacteria. With termites eating wood, and fungi, earthworms, bacteria, and protozoans working together to decompose other plant matter, within six weeks all rainforest litter will be decomposed. The decomposers in the tropical rainforest are faster than those in any other biome.

The rainforest biome is special because of the amount of life it holds. Half of all the worlds plants and animals live there. Trunks of trees are known to hold forty-three species of ants in the rainforest. Every day, scientists are finding new plants and animals in the tropical rainforest. Many believe that the rainforests diversity is because of its close location to the equator. It is common knowledge that the further a location gets from the equator, the less plant and animal species it contains. The tropical rainforest also receives the most solar energy in the world. This is because the equator is the closest point on the earth to the sun. Sun rays hit the equator straight on, rather than on an angle, because of the earth's curve, like in most places. The more solar energy a place has, the more photosynthesis and growth in plants occurs, allowing animals to have a continuous supply of food. The regularity in temperature is also an influence. Animals never have to adapt to the seasons. These animals were given the chance to adapt in ways that were not possible in any other biome. Water also makes the diversity possible.

All i can think of is mosquitos..

It is definitely possible to get bitten by chiggers in Maryland. Chiggers are a type of tiny, red biting bug. By the time a person realizes they have been bitten, the chiggers have usually fallen off. The best way to treat a bite is with calamine lotion.

Yes, the California blackworm has a heart. It is not as advanced as in many other animals but it does have a functioning heart.

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.

Queen Bee, Queen Alexandra's Birdwing Butterfly and Queen Alexandra's Sulphur Butterfly are insects. They begin with the letter Q.

well it is hard to explane but they adapt to the desert by getting yous to desert plants that die and fruit that falls

Xerces butterfly Xylodromus Xyletinus xrien

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

A human being is a Third level consumer. A human can eat a second and first level consumer as well.

Actually, humans can be both.

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.
