Insects

Wasps in the family Pompilidae prey upon spiders. They don't kill the spider- they paralyze the spider, take it back to a burrow, and lay an egg in its abdomen. Then the wasp seals the burrow up. When the wasp larvae hatches from the egg, the paralyzed spider serves as a food source.

The bug that has purple blood is called the violet ground beetle (Carabus problematicus). Their blood contains a pigment known as hemocyanin, which gives it a purple color. Hemocyanin helps transport oxygen in the beetle's circulatory system.

Insects that may live in popcorn ceilings include dust mites, carpet beetles, and silverfish. These insects are attracted to the debris and organic matter that accumulates in the textured surface of the ceiling. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prevent infestations.

Alcohol does not help with bug bites. It may actually irritate the skin further and cause more discomfort. It's best to use other remedies like anti-itch creams or ice packs to alleviate the itching and swelling from bug bites.

Examples of places of public assembly are stadiums, concert venues, and convention centers. Mass transit systems include subway stations, bus terminals, and airports. Examples of places of high economic impact are financial districts, shopping centers, and industrial parks.

It's a tricky question because insects have two kinds of eyes. There are simple eyes and compound eyes. Some insects just have one type, others have both types. The simple answer is, most insects have two eyes, but several of them have five eyes.

No. The powder is scales that cover the membrane of their wings. The powder itself is not used to fly, but it helps to protect the membrane underneath. Touching a moth or butterfly's wings will not prevent it from flying, as long as you are gentle.

Bugs can potentially live in any type of soil, including Jiffy Mix. To prevent bugs from infesting the soil, it's important to store it in a dry, airtight container and avoid introducing bugs from other sources.

The insect you are referring to is most likely a "woolly aphid." These insects are small, white, and fluffy, resembling dandelion seeds. They are often seen floating through the air due to their light weight and can sometimes be found in pairs.

No. Insects, much like ourselves, reproduce sexually. Therefore, you need a male and female gnat to produce offspring. Gnats, and many other insects, lay their eggs in fruit as it will provide nurishment to their larvae. This leads many to believe that the gnats themselves are produced by the fruit when the juveniles emerge.

The description matches that of the Eastern cicada killer wasp. This species has a large body, resembling a hornet, with distinct yellow markings on its abdomen. They are solitary, non-aggressive insects that primarily feed on cicadas.

After much research, I have come to the conclusion that thrips are defined as an orange flying and biting insect. I was at a park today with my children, and I was wearing white and blue. Apparently these bugs are vegetation but will "taste" humans to determine if they are a source of food.

Fruit flies undergo a process called complete metamorphosis. They start as eggs laid by adult female fruit flies on fermenting fruit or organic matter. The eggs hatch into larvae (maggots) that feed and grow before pupating into adult fruit flies.

Some insects like the ones you see hopping along the surface of the water actually have water retardant hairs on their legs which can keep them above the water. The hairs resist the water and just kind of "sit" on top of the water.

I dont know the exact memory of a common house fly, but heres a weird case that made me think about it.

I was moving a mouse on a screen of a computer and the fly kept on following it. If i put the mouse underneath the fly, it would run away, and i could chase it with the mouse. It was so infatuated, that i could poke it with a pen, and it would just fly away and come right back for the mouse. I think the common house fly has a larger memory capacity then we are lead to believe ;)

Millipedes do not crawl into skin. Millipedes are more likely not to even bite. You might be thinking of centipedes but either will not crawl under skin. Centipedes though are poisonous to certain levels and are able to bite.

The larval stage is typically when herbivory is most active in insects. Larvae have voracious appetites and feed on plant material to fuel their growth and development before pupating into adults. During the adult stage, some insects may continue to feed on plants, while others may focus on reproduction and dispersal.

it is the bacteria and old saliva that exists in your mouth. As you sneeze you spray tens of thousands of droplets that contain saliva and bacteria into the air. As people breath in the droplets they would smell the saliva and bacteria that was in the air.

It sounds like you might be describing a black widow spider. Black widows are black with orange/red markings on their abdomen and have venomous stingers called pedipalps. They are known for their potent venom and distinctive coloring.

Some insects that are known to walk backwards include praying mantises, stick insects, and some species of beetles. These insects may use backward walking as a defensive strategy to confuse predators or to navigate through dense vegetation.

Bugs, such as insects and spiders, have different types of feet depending on their species. For insects, their feet are called "tarsi" or "tarsal segments." Spiders have specialized structures called "tarsus" or "claws" at the end of their legs that help them grip surfaces.

a ant will most likely crawl on you and releasing a pheromone, the pheromone is kind of like a phone, when the ants releases it, it will signal all the ants in the collany to come and help te ant fight.

The insect with the most eyes is the trilobite beetle, which has three extra eyes in addition to its two main compound eyes. These extra eyes are located on the top of its head and help it detect movement and light.

It IS a bee... a carpenter bee. They make nests in wood by chewing tunnels. If you see a lot of them, you should be concerned that they are nesting in your house or garage. The ones you will see most frequently are males, and they cannot sting. The females can sting, but almost never do. However, carpenter bees CAN bite.
