Insects

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?

Scorpions are filled with poisonous fluids, so I recommend not eating one.

their density, if their density is 1.0 or more, they will sink

They most likely eat insects which are smaller than them or dead ones. Eating smaller insects can be ants. But if the insects you are referring to are ants and what you are asking is what they are going to eat, I think they would most likely eat the insects they find dead. Or even bigger animals like maybe scorpions.

John Lennons favrourite food was Frosted Flakes, but other than that... fish and chips.

Some can, some can't, arthropods are a large and diverse group of animals.

Earwigs are shaped like ants but have pincers on the head. They resemble scorpions at this end of the body.

Phyllophaga (June Bug) These beetles are nocturnal, coming to lights in great numbers. The adults are chafers, feeding on foliage of trees and shrubs. The larvae (called white grubs) feed on the roots of grasses and other plants. The insects pupate underground in the fall and emerge as adults the following spring. Chafer grubs feed below ground for 3-4 years before changing into adult beetles. The adult beetles are very clumsy, both on land and in the air.

Water striders are classified as arthropods because of characteristics shared in common with other arthropods. It's important to remember the arthropod phylum (Arthropoda) is a very broad categorization of living things, characterized by jointed limbs, segmented bodies, and a hard exoskeleton. It includes all the insects. Water striders are considered "true bugs" or Hemiptera, along with aphids, shield bugs and leaf-hoppers; their order is classified below Insecta (the insect class).
