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.

What is the worlds 5 most deadliest insects to humans?
- The black widow (deadly spider)
- There are over 30,000 types of spiders in the world, but the Black Widow is probably the best known and most feared. The Black Widow is a medium sized spider with a body about a half-inch in length. The name is derived from the mistaken belief that the female kills the male after mating. This does happen on occasion, but not routinely. There are five species of Black Widows found in the United States with the Southern Black Widow and the Northern Black Widow being the most common.
2. Human botfly (mosquito-fly)
The Human Botfly, D. hominis, is a parasite. When they are ready to reproduce, they look for a warm, moist place on a person's body to lay their eggs. Sometimes they attach the eggs to a mosquito.3.Brown Recluse (deadly spider)
The Brown Recluse Spider, or Loxosceles reclusa is a tiny spider, measuring just 6 to 20 mm in length. It is brownish-yellow in color with a black line on its belly that resembles a violin, hence the nickname fiddle-back spider. Unfortunately the violin shape is not always visible so it is not a reliable identifier
4.The Africanized bee
The Africanized Bee is a descendant from 26 Tanzanian queen bees accidentally released from a lab in Brazil. The Biologist working with the bees was trying to develop a strain better adapted to tropical and subtropical conditions. Instead of more productive bees, he ended up with a strain of extremely defensive bees. The released queens gave rise to what is commonly called the Africanized Bee. They have since spread throughout the Americas.
One sting from an Africanized bee is no worse than a sting from the common honey bee. It hurts but is rarely fatal. Unfortunately the Africanized bees attack in swarms. Their victims may be stung thousands of times. That many stings can and does kill.
5.Puss Caterpillar
Megalopyge opercularis is often called the southern flannel moth or pussy moth. It's when they are in caterpillar form that they are the most dangerous. The body is covered with long, red-brown hairs. It looks soft, but when frightened, its hair rises. Beneath the hair are needle-like spines connected to a poison-filled gland. The poison is injected into anything it touches.
The poison causes a burning pain, swelling and numbness to the sight of entry, an in severe cases it can cause high fever, vomiting and paralysis.

Dipterous insect two-winged insects dipteran dipteron?
Many insects are dipterous.
The Order Diptera includes insects like the common House Fly.
I believe they don't. But I do know for a fact they aren't poisonous. So if they do bite, it will do no more harm to you than a red mark for a few days.
No, in the phylum Arthropoda there are several classes, two being Insecta, insects, and Arachnida, spiders. This means that spiders and insects are related, but they are not the same and spiders are not a type of insect. Spiders and insects are at the same level of classification. There are several differences between insects and spiders. The first and easiest way to distinguish them is that insects have 6 legs, and spiders have 8. Insects also have three body segments, head, abdomen, and thorax, while spiders have just two, cephalothorax and abdomen. Spiders are always wingless, but most adult insects have wings. There are a few exceptions such as walking sticks, fleas, silverfish, springtails, thrips, and in some species just one gender is wingless, such as the velvet ant. This is not a good way to tell the difference between spiders and insects, because there are a few adult insects without wings, and all immature insects are wingless, they don't get wings until they become adults.
Spiders fall in the class arachnid (Arachnida), which is due to the fact that they have 8 legs instead of 6 . Other arachnids are scorpions and ticks, to name but a few.
Visually, you can distinguish them easily because spiders have eight legs, two arm-like pedipalps, and no antennas, whereas insects have six legs, no pedipalps, and two antennas. Spiders have two main body parts of about equal size, and insects have three body parts, a small head, a medium-sized thorax, and a large abdomen. Spiders have fangs, and almost all spiders deliver venom through their bites. Insects do not have fangs but some of them have stingers that inject venom. All spiders produce silk from teat-like organs that extend from their abdomens. Some insects produce silk from their mouths when they are pre-adults, and they use this silk to produce shelters such as cocoons that protect them while they change into their adult forms. Insects mate by making a direct contact between sexual organs at the ends of their abdomens. Spiders use a complicated procedure. Male spiders deposit semen onto a special silk pad, and then absorb the semen into their pedipalps. They then approach a female, negotiate with the female, and if accepted by the female they will introduce their pedipalps, one by one, into the sexual organ of the female, which is located on the underside of the abdomen. Semen is then deposited inside the female spider.
No spiders have wings. Many insects have wings for at least part of their adult lives. Almost all spiders live solitary lives, but a few species live in large but leaderless colonies. Many insects live in large colonies, and the individuals of these colonies may perform different functions on behalf of the entire colony. Frequently an insect colony has one or only a few sexually mature females who lay eggs for the entire colony, but female spiders do not demonstrate such specialization of functions within their colonies.
These are only a few of the differences between spiders and insects.
Will eating a centipeed kill or paralize a 4 month old kitten?
This really depends where in the world you are, and what species the centipede is. Most centipedes can deliver a painful bite which can cause swelling and other symptoms. If you believe your kitten to have eaten a centipede, or any other insect, you should take the kitten to the vets immediately.
Maybe you're referring to gn
Springtails maybe.....
How long do giant silk moths live?
Two [2] weeks tends to be the maximum lifetime of giant silk moths. That's because they have no mouthparts. Their main purpose as adults therefore is ensuring the next generation, by laying eggs.
One of their most famous members is the Luna or moon moth [Actias Luna]. They often will be found near the host plants of their larval stage. The larvae are plump lime green, with tiny orange spots along the sides of each segments. They particularly favor birch, hickory and walnut trees.
How do insects fertilize their eggs?
With sperm from the male, just like us. When a female has mated she often stores the sperm in a special organ, the spermatophore, literally 'sperm carrier'. She then fertilizes each egg as she lays it. In many insects, such as bees, wasps and ants, unfertilized eggs develop into males and fertilized ones into females, so only part of the brood is actually fertilized. Then there's insects that can reproduce asexually, so no fertilization is needed at all.
What insects are found on the football field that are less than one centimeter?
