Ants do no prefer a diet of popcorn. However, ants are known scavengers and will eat almost anything they find.
Why can insects adapt so quickly to pesticides?
Ironically, from being exposed to the pesticide for a long period of time. Given a long enough timeframe, a insect species will evolve a natural resistance to a chemical through natural selection.
Insects quickly develop resistance to insecticides due to natural evolution. As their bodies are exposed to the chemicals, small changes are made until it no longer affects them over many generations.
some insects will have an adaptation that helps them survive and that they pass onto their offspring.
the insect population changes to include more and more resistant members
Answer:
This is evelution in action.
If the insects are exposed to a pesticide that only kills some of them, the only future generations come from resistant parents. If the application if pesticide continues, it weeds out non resistant individuals enhancing the resistence of subsequent generations.
Which insect is often called a white ant?
The termite is the insect that is also referred to as a white ant. Termites are pests that will eat through the foundation of a house.
What are three ways in which insects help humans?
Bees make honey and pollonate flowers, ladybugs keep pests away from gardens, worms (which aren't actually insects, but are often viewed so) fertilize soil, and spiders (which also aren't actually insects) eat insects that pester humans (flies, moths, etc.).
What number of body segments that insects have?
Six (6) is the number of legs on a butterfly.
Specifically, scientists consider butterflies insects. All insects have three pairs of two legs each, for a total of six. The frontal pair closest to the head may not always be visible on some butterflies.
Yes, you can get sick from a stink bug. My friend got bit by a stink bug. You can get a fever, itchy joints, head aches, and aches through your body
Most likely a SILVERFISH is a decomposer (because it eats dried meat, flour, rolled oats, paper and glue) but I'm not entirely sure. Check your spelling so that others can define this more clearly.
No. They are annelids.
No. Worms are either in Phylum Annelida if they are segmented like earthworms, or Nematoda if they are roundworms like hookworms or heart worms that your dog can get, or Phylum Platyhelminthes if they are flatworms like tapeworms.
Mammals all have hair, nurse their young with milk, have 4- chambered hearts, and nurture their young. There are some other nit-picking characteristics as well , but these are the most descriptive.
What insects likes wood as a place to live in?
There are many insects that are attracted to rotting wood. This includes termites, ladybugs, carpenter ants, and powder post beetles.
Where does the sakata bug live?
The Cicada bug is common in summer,especially in August but can be found in July and in September as well. There are about 250, 000 different species of this bug throughout the world. They are sometimes called "locusts". It prefers warm climates. It is able to makes really loud noise which is easily heard by human ears. This "noise" or "song' is how they attract mates. It is brown colored beetle usually found by large trees. It apparently will grow out of its shell like body and leave it behind. It exists it's body through its back and will then create is new one. Cicadas do not cause any harm to people. As amatter of fact, some people like to eat them especially in other cultures. They can cause damage to plants and trees.
Which property of water allows insects to walk on water?
Certain insects (ones with a very light weight) are able to walk on water as their weight does not break the surface tension of the water. Water has a very high surface tension, therefore easily breaking and not supporting weight above a certain limit.
What are insect feelers called?
Why is this question in chemistry? It should be in biology or entomology or something.
Well, the so-called feelers are what we call antennae. Radio antennae were named after the antennae of insects. The antennae are really modified legs, much as our lower jaws are modified gill arches.
Insects and other arthropods that have antennae (or "feelers") use them for various purposes. Many of them use them to feel things, but most also use them to smell or taste. Some actually use them to grasp things, such as male "fairy shrimp" that grasp females with their strong, bent antennae in mating. Male mosquitoes with their feathery antennae use them to listen for the vibration of the female mosquitoes' wings. Emperor moth males also have feathery antennae and use them to smell the sexual signal of the female.
Creatures that use their antennae for finding food or hunting, usually live in the dark and come out at night if they come out at all. Some such creatures do not in fact have antennae, or if they do, the antennae are not large, or much used in hunting. Instead they have very long delicate sensitive antenna-like legs that they use in much the same way. Examples include some spiders and whip scorpions.
Are insect eating birds herbivores?
No. Insects, though they often fly, are not birds. All birds by definition are warm-blooded, bi-pedal creatures and have an endoskeleton (a skeleton structure inside the body). In contrast to be classed an insect a creature must be cold-blooded, have six legs and an exoskeleton (a skeleton structure outside the body). As such insects are cannot be classed as birds.
Not exactly. The structural systems in insects are much more simplified than those in humans or other mammals. Insects have an open circulatory system (ie, no chambered heart or interconnected web of blood vessels like we have).
Fluid called hemolymph (similar in purpose to blood, but not the same thing) is moved around within the exoskeleton by peristaltic movements of a perforated dorsal aorta (what passes for a heart in this type of circulation) and muscle movement.
How do house flies walk upside down?
House flies have specialized adhesive pads on their feet that allow them to cling to surfaces like glass or ceilings. These pads secrete a sticky substance that forms a strong bond with the surface, enabling the flies to walk upside down without falling off.
What type of insects live in the Daintree?
The daintree rain forest is home to a variety of beautiful and rare insects. For example, the 'Sombe' Frog, which by the way is on the endangered list lives peacefully, however not safely in the Daintree Forest.
How could you stop bugs from eating your strawberry plant?
You can prevent bugs from eating your strawberry plant by using organic pesticides or insecticidal soap, installing physical barriers like row covers or netting, attracting beneficial insects that prey on pests, and practicing good garden hygiene by removing debris and weeds that can harbor insects.
What are names of sap sucking insects?
Mosquitos (but only pregnant females), horseflies, fleas, lice, and some true bugs (Hemiptera) though none of those feed on humans.
What are long bugs with many legs and pinchers?
Being as all bugs and beetles have 6 legs and antennae, the description is not much to go on. Further, masses of beetles are about an inch long and brown. Be a bit more descriptive and you may get an answer. I suggest a cockroach as one possibility, but exactly how thin do you mean.
What is an insect with many legs?
Pill bugs, also known as isopods, are shaped like a jelly bean. They have a hard body armor and many legs.
