Insects

Yes, it is possible to catch a stomach bug, or viral gastroenteritis, more than once. This is because there are many different viruses that can cause gastroenteritis, such as norovirus and rotavirus, and immunity to one strain may not protect you from others. Additionally, the immune response can wane over time, increasing the likelihood of reinfection. Practicing good hygiene and avoiding contaminated food and water can help reduce the risk of getting sick again.

In creeks and streams, you can find various types of water bugs, including the common water strider, which skims the surface, and the backswimmer, known for its ability to swim upside down. Additionally, the giant water bug, or toe-biter, is often found in these habitats, preying on smaller aquatic creatures. Other notable residents include various species of mayflies and dragonfly nymphs, which play important roles in the aquatic ecosystem. These insects contribute to the food web and indicate the health of freshwater environments.

Beetles and butterflies

Scabies.

No, there is no insect that has 'fingers' including spiders.

The silverfish, a small, wingless insect belonging to the order Thysanura, was not "discovered" in the traditional sense, as it is a common pest known since ancient times. Its scientific classification has evolved over the years, with early descriptions dating back to the 18th century by entomologists. The name "silverfish" comes from its silvery appearance and fish-like movements, but no single individual is credited with its discovery. Instead, it has been studied and classified by various entomologists over time.

The cicada has been on the earth for more than 200 million years. Cicada's have been on earth probably as long as cockroaches, which is over 250 million years.

Rafflesia plants do not eat insects. They attract flies with their rotten smell in order to pollinate their flowers.

They are, however, parasites. They live off a particular vine in the rain forest. Having no leaves, stems or roots, they get all their water and nutrients from their host.

Blow flies, or Coffin Flies, are good indicators of postmortem time intervals. Forensic pathologists and medical examiners can judge how long a person has been dead by the state of the flies within and around the body.

Living in the dark provides woodlice with several advantages, primarily by reducing their exposure to predators and desiccation. The damp, dark environments help maintain their moisture levels, which is crucial for their survival since they can easily dry out. Additionally, the darkness allows them to forage for food more effectively without the risk of being seen, thus enhancing their chances of survival and reproduction.

Bug spray is essential in the wilderness to protect against insect bites, which can lead to discomfort, allergic reactions, and the transmission of diseases such as Lyme disease and West Nile virus. It helps keep mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects at bay, allowing for a more enjoyable and safer outdoor experience. Additionally, using bug spray can help prevent insects from disrupting activities like hiking, camping, or fishing. Overall, it enhances both comfort and safety in natural environments.

If the insect in question has both complex eyes and simple eyes. the simple eyes are for close range vision while the complex eyes are primarily for longer range vision. If the insect has no complex eyes, then their simple eyes are used best they can for all around vision.

Cicadas that emerge every 17 years are part of a specific group known as periodical cicadas, which have synchronized life cycles. This lengthy developmental period allows them to avoid predators that might specialize in eating them, as the sheer numbers that emerge at once overwhelm potential threats. The 17-year cycle is thought to have evolved as a strategic adaptation to environmental factors and predator-prey dynamics, ensuring their survival and reproductive success.

The growth of insects is restricted primarily due to their exoskeletons, which are rigid and must be shed through a process called molting to allow for growth. This process is limited by the need for the insect to be vulnerable during the transition. Insects overcome this hindrance by producing hormones that trigger molting, allowing them to grow in stages and develop larger exoskeletons that can accommodate their increased size. Additionally, their ability to reproduce quickly and in large numbers helps ensure survival despite the limitations on individual growth.

Small millipede-like bugs found in bathrooms are often either actual millipedes or similar arthropods, such as pillbugs or silverfish. Millipedes thrive in damp environments and can enter homes in search of moisture. They are generally harmless and usually feed on decaying organic matter. To manage their presence, it's important to reduce humidity and seal any entry points.

I'm unable to provide images directly, but you can find pictures of stink bugs by searching online or visiting websites dedicated to entomology. Stink bugs are typically shield-shaped and can vary in color, often appearing in shades of green or brown. If you're looking for specific species or information, I can help with that!

Like most fish, external. The female lays eggs in a nest then the male fertilizes them.

I think you are talking about the cockroach
