How can some organisms walk on water?
Webbed feet, elbows, shoulders, adequate musculatory system and skeleton/exosceleton, proper breathing apparatus, blows fire from some hole in the body, and finally a set of angel wings complete with XBOX 360 H.A.L.O. Not affiliated.
Yes it does. This happens because solid waste leaves your body and when you don't take a shower it will start to smell and plus it could be liquid diarrhea also another thing is because its from the inside of your body it will smell bad. Also why do you wanna know perv.
What are insects with wings called?
A insect. I don't believe there is a difference... But I might be wrong. Try google.
it is because the ant hill is flattened and the whole is washed away
The hard outer covering of an insect?
The bodies of arthropods are supported by a hardened exoskeleton made of chitin, a substance produced by many non-arthropods as well. In arthropods, the nonliving exoskeleton is like a form-fitting suit of armor.
How is the life cycle of mammal different from that of an insect?
Insects typically have short lives as adults, but may spend a very long time in the larval or egg state. Mammals generally live longer than insects, and the majority reproduce through live birth. Mammals typically live the majority of their lives as adults.
No, insects like moths, ladybugs, and bees have six legs. Some mantids (praying mantis family) have four legs that they walk on, two legs that we usually call "arms," and wings. But other than that, not really, no. Most bugs have six (insects), eight (arachnids) or dozens of legs (millipedes).
Are daddy long legs related to scorpions?
It depends on exactly what species you are identifying as "daddy long legs". The name daddy long legs can refer to several species or differing classifications. These are:
* Harvestman - This species is not a true spider although it is classed as Arachnida, as it has eight legs. It is commonly called either "daddy long legs" or "grand daddy long legs" in the USA and is found worldwide, with over 6,400 species. There is a myth about these creatures being the most venomous of spiders, but its jaws are too small to bite, however this is a complete fallacy, as none of these species have venom glands or fangs. They are completely harmless and are not poisonous. * Crane fly - These are typically known as daddy long legs in the UK. They are a long legged flying insect that can be found all over the world. There are over 14,000 identified species. * Cellar Spider - This is the only true spider known by the name "daddy long legs". In fact all members of the family Pholcidae are group with this name. They are found commonly all over the world and again are easily recognised by their long legs. Again the myth says they are the most venomous spider in the world, but this is again untrue for the same reason as above.
Explian how insect walk on water?
Pond skating insects reveal water-walking secrets as they effortlessly skip across the surface leaving nothing but a tiny ripple in their wake, according to a new study.
The insects use the middle of their three pairs of legs to row across the water, creating vortices with the tiny hairs that cover their legs, similar to the swirling vortices created just beneath the surface by am oar when it slices the water that twist away and propel the boat forward.
The hairs, the only part of the insect’s body that penetrates the water, are covered in a waxy substance that keeps water out by allowing bubbles to attach to them which have drawn the attention of materials scientists looking for a permanent waterproofing material that doesn’t wash off.
Why some insects can walk on water without sinking?
most insects can not float on water, but it depends. A bee will drown if it gets its wings in the water (along with most, if not all, winged insects), but some insects are specifically made to stand on water and catch gnats that are around.
Ants don't have teeth in the way that humans and other mammals have teeth. They have jaws called mandibles and maxillae, and those jaws have pointy bits on the part with which the ant bites. (Human jaws are also called mandibles and maxillae, but they are quite different.)
The pointy bits on ants' jaws are usually called teeth, even by entomologists, the people who study insects.
However, many such jaws have rows of teeth like a saw blade, and then we say that the jaw is serrated and the teeth may be called serrations.
If you want to be technical, you can call one such tooth a dens, and could speak of dentes when there are many. Both words are from the Latin for tooth, from which we also get the word "dentist". If the teeth are very small, they can be called "denticles".
What is a swarming insect called?

How does a centipede reproduce?
Centipedes reproduce sexually, with the male centipede depositing sperm into the female's reproductive tract using specialized appendages. The female then lays eggs, which she protects until they hatch into juvenile centipedes.
What does a potato bug look like?
A potato bug, also known as a Jerusalem cricket, is a large insect with a round, robust body, large head, and long antennae. Its color can vary from brown to orange or yellow. They are often mistaken for beetles due to their appearance, but they belong to the cricket family.
Birds and insects have no structural similarities that would suggest they are closely related in the same taxonomic rank. The bird and insect are both in the animal kingdom, and that is as close in relation as scientifically proven.
What is the middle body party of an insect?
It's called the thorax, and bears all three pairs of legs and two pairs of wings. Inside, it's pretty much only muscle, to power all that. Internal organs are in the abdomen, the hind part of the animal. ^^
Yes! All plants and animals are in the food chain, because all plants and animals eat and are eaten.
What decomposes dead organisms?
Decomposers such as bacteria, fungi, and insects break down dead organisms into simpler substances. These decomposers feed on the organic matter in the dead organism, helping to recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem.
What bug has the toughest exoskeleton?
The rhinoceros beetles have the toughest and strongest exoskeleton. They are able to carry and move things 850 times their weight.
What kind of spider is bright red with a black butt?
