Insects

Insects play a very large role in the circle of life on earth. They represent a large population of the animal kingdom. Fascinating to some,creepy to others but always present in our daily lives. Questions about any sort of bug go here.

Are Euschistus harmful to the environment?

What do insects have in common with Greece?

Greece has many species and classes of insects. They include flies, ants, bees, wasps, cockroaches, cicada, glow worms, and centipedes.

What human use mealy bugs for?

Humans use mealybugs primarily in research and education, as they serve as model organisms for studying plant pests and pest management strategies. Additionally, some species are used in biological control programs, where they can help manage pest populations in agricultural settings. However, mealybugs are generally considered harmful to crops, so their management is often aimed at minimizing the damage they cause.

Can a cockroach survive in microwave oven for a minute?

its a common mistake that cockroach's can sustain radiation and short micro waves , the problem with microwave is that the Micro wave is turned to heat rapidly which well kill the insect and make it explode duo to the increase of mass to its internal liquids , finally please don't try to do this its foal and inhuman .

WRONG.

I found out by accident, just now. I have seen Roaches get into things including Microwaves. I can usually kill them if I see one. Today I was heating up some Hot Dogs and had the MW set on the highest 1200 Watts for 2 minutes. After I started the Cycle I noticed a full grown adult Cockroach running around inside. It never got near the rotating tray or food. It kept running around the walls and top the entire 2 minutes.

I opened the door and had a napkin ready to kill it. It cowered in the back corner, with absolutely no effect on it. So yes they can survive an a microwave oven for at least 2 minutes.

Why do water stick insect needs to be on the surface of the water?

Water stick insects favor being on the surface of the water because this is where their food accumulates. Also, if they were under the water, they would not survive.

What do spittle bug look like?

Spittle bugs, also known as froghoppers, are small insects typically ranging from 1/4 to 1/2 inch in length. They have a robust, oval body that can be green, brown, or black, often with a waxy or frothy substance surrounding them, which resembles spit—hence their name. Their wings are held tent-like over their bodies, and they have distinctive jumping abilities, allowing them to leap away quickly when disturbed. The nymphs are particularly notable for their spittle mass, which they produce for protection as they feed on plant sap.

Why are there bugs on the earth?

here are bugs in software due to unclear or constantly changing requirements, software

complexity, programming errors, timelines, errors in bug tracking, communication gap,

documentation errors, deviation from standards etc.

  • Unclear software requirements are due to miscommunication as to what the software should

or shouldn't do. In many occasions, the customer may not be completely clear as to how the

product should ultimately function. This is especially true when the software is a developed for

a completely new product. Such cases usually lead to a lot of misinterpretations from any or

both sides.

  • Constantly changing software requirements cause a lot of confusion and pressure both on the

development and testing teams. Often, a new feature added or existing feature removed can

be linked to the other modules or components in the software. Overlooking such issues causes

bugs.

  • Also, fixing a bug in one part/component of the software might arise another in a different or

same component. Lack of foresight in anticipating such issues can cause serious problems and

increase in bug count. This is one of the major issues because of which bugs occur since

developers are very often subject to pressure related to timelines; frequently changing

requirements, increase in the number of bugs etc.

  • Designing and re-designing, UI interfaces, integration of modules, database management all

these add to the complexity of the software and the system as a whole.

  • Fundamental problems with software design and architecture can cause problems in

programming. Developed software is prone to error as programmers can make mistakes too.

As a tester you can check for, data reference/declaration errors, control flow errors, parameter

errors, input/output errors etc.

  • Rescheduling of resources, re-doing or discarding already completed work, changes in

hardware/software requirements can affect the software too. Assigning a new developer to the

project in midway can cause bugs. This is possible if proper coding standards have not been

followed, improper code documentation, ineffective knowledge transfer etc. Discarding a

portion of the existing code might just leave its trail behind in other parts of the software;

overlooking or not eliminating such code can cause bugs. Serious bugs can especially occur

with larger projects, as it gets tougher to identify the problem area.

  • Programmers usually tend to rush as the deadline approaches closer. This is the time when

most of the bugs occur. It is possible that you will be able to spot bugs of all types and

severity.

  • Complexity in keeping track of all the bugs can again cause bugs by itself. This gets harder

when a bug has a very complex life cycle i.e. when the number of times it has been closed, reopened,

not accepted, ignored etc goes on increasing.
