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.

How can you eliminate the minuscule white moths that live on but don't eat all of my herbs?
Those miniscule moths are most probably aphids, the bane of all gardeners. You can introduce a natural aphid predator such as ladybugs and attract them by planting fennel or dill. You can spray your plants with neem oil for an organic solution. You can also make a spray yourself by mixing in one quart of water 1TBS vegetable oil and two or three drops of any non-bacterial liquid soap. Hose plants first to remove aphids then apply spray. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the help, but I'm sure they aren't aphids. They are moths the size of poppy seeds.
How do you get rid of a bug bite on your bottom eyelid?
You can get rid of a bug bite on the bottom eyelid by taking an over-the-counter medication that contains diphenhydramine. This is an allergy medication. You can also put a cold compress on the eye and a small amount of anti-itch ointment on the bug bite. However, you should not allow the ointment to get into the eye.
Yes. I keep some as pets. They poop little black pebble looking things. Not stinky.
Where do you pin a praying mantis?
if you can pin it in the thorax (which you probably cant) then great. If not, apply clear nail polish to the side of a triangular piece of notecard, and it will work as glue.
What does a deer tick look like?
Deer ticks are VERY small in comparison to others, such as the 'dog tick'. They are tiny black insects with six legs. Deer ticks are also the leading cause of Lyme Disease. For more information and many helpful photos you can visit http://www.oes.org/html/how_2_identify_different_ticks.html
The boll weevil is the most notorious of the insects. There is actually a statue to the boll weevil in Enterprise Alabama. This insect was so destructive that the state paid the farmers to diversify out of cotton production.
Deet is not effective in killing scabies. The easiest way to get rid of them is to take a bath filled with lots of table salt.
No. Millipedes are myriapods, meaning "many feet". Centipedes are also myriapods. Segmented worms are annelids; earthworms and leaches belong to this group. Also, myriapods are arthropods; annelids are not.
A locust is actually involve when grasshoppers group together and they irritate each other leg and which cause this change.They can be very big and locust attack farms in a big group. When they lay they egg, it is similar to the way grasshoppers do but instead of just leave they egg in the burrow,they inject a chemical which cause them to grow into locust instead of grasshopper. They start from very small yellow locust then they start to grow wings and become pink than later to adult locust which this cycle then continues.
What are the excretory of insects called?
The Malpighian tubule system is a type of excretory andosmoregulatory system found in some Atelocerata (Insects andMyriapoda), arachnids and tardigrades.
The system consists of branching tubules extending from thealimentary canal that absorbs solutes, water, and wastes from the surrounding hemolymph. The wastes then are released from the organism in the form of solid nitrogenous compounds. The system is named after Marcello Malpighi, a seventeenth century anatomist.
It is unclear as to whether the Malpighian tubules of arachnids and those of the Uniramia are homologous or the result of convergent evolution
For an alphabetical list of insects in North America: http://www.insectidentification.org/insect-identification.asp Ones that start with "J" are: Japanese Beetle Japygid Dipluran Jerusalem Cricket Johnson Jumping Spider Jumping Bristletale For an alphabetical list of insects in the world: Good luck finding that, as there are over a million species of insects in the world.
no, insects are not street animals. they are bugs and have absolutely no connection to animals.
Do insects produce adrenaline?
No, they do not. Adrenal glands are what produce adrenaline and they are a pair of small glands, each of which sits on top of one of the kidneys.
Does surrounding color affect insect eating habits?
It strongly depends on the specific bug. Take bees for an example, bees strongly rely on the vibrant colors of flowers and other plants to collect. Other insects such as ants depend on pheromones and scents. So, just because you have 2 insects doesn't mean they are the same; they both have their own unique attributes.
There are two wheels. They turn alternately and make the hexbug larva slither
No. They do not bite, but they are able to sting/stab you with their rather strong proboscis and the sting is actually somewhat painful. Comparable with bee sting.
Fortunately their sting is not poisonous or dangerous.
What insect has a thin white body with white wings and white limbs and white antennae?
Could be a cabbage white, not only are they small but are the most common butterfly. Possibly a wood white, depending on if you are outside US.
