Insects

you can clean up your area, close all the windows in the house, and spray tick killer spray in your bed because today I found a tick on my private area and it took dawn soap, alcohol, Vaseline, and tweezers to get it off, so change your bedsheets at least every 2 months and give all your dogs a bath or cats

The insect you are describing sounds like a tarantula hawk wasp. Tarantula hawks are known for their black bodies, black wings, and vibrant orange or red coloration on their abdomen. They are known for their painful sting, which is used to paralyze tarantulas.

Aphids are small insects that feed on plant juices by piercing the plant tissue and sucking out the sap. They can be found in large numbers on the underside of leaves, causing damage to the plant by weakening it and potentially spreading diseases. Control measures can include using insecticidal soaps, introducing natural predators, or physically removing the aphids from the plant.

No, a leech is not an insect. Leeches belong to the phylum Annelida, while insects belong to the phylum Arthropoda. Leeches are invertebrates that are more closely related to earthworms than to insects.

They are likely silverfish, which are small grayish insects that thrive in damp and humid environments like basements. They feed on starchy materials, paper, and fabric. Keeping the area dry and reducing clutter can help control their population.

Fireflies are not actually flies, they are beetles, so when the firefly egg hatches it will hatch out as a larva rather than as a firefly. The eggs take longer when the weather is cooler and hatch more quickly when it is warm. Typically the eggs will hatch between 14 and 18 days after they are laid.

Big bugs may seem scary to some people for several reasons, including their potentially intimidating appearance, fast movements, and the possibility of harm or discomfort from their bites or stings. This fear may also be influenced by cultural associations or personal experiences with insects.

Bees don't like picnics, because they don't even know one is going on. They like the food, especially the sweet stuff that is at picnics. Sweet liquids like sodas draw them like the soda was nectar from flowers.

When bitten by a fire ant, the ant injects venom into the skin that causes an allergic reaction. This reaction can lead to swelling, redness, and pain in the affected area. Additionally, the body's immune response to the venom can cause fluid and blood to accumulate in the surrounding tissues, further contributing to the swelling.

The bug you are describing sounds like a flea. Fleas are small, dark-colored insects that can jump significant distances. They are known to bite humans and pets, causing itchy, red welts. It is important to take measures to eliminate fleas from your home, such as thorough cleaning, vacuuming, and using flea treatments.

Yes, hippos have large and wide tongues that can measure up to 1.5 feet long. Their tongues are pink in color and help them grasp and manipulate food.

Millipedes do not bite like insects, as they lack the ability to puncture skin with their mouthparts. However, they may release toxins or defensive secretions that can irritate skin if handled roughly. It is best to avoid handling millipedes to prevent any potential skin irritation.

Insects such as the cork oak borer and the Mediterranean oak borer are known to feed on cork oak trees. These insects can damage the tree by burrowing into the bark and disrupting nutrient flow. Additionally, caterpillars of certain moth species may also feed on cork oak leaves.

Yes, maggots have small hook-like structures on their bodies that help them crawl and climb on different surfaces. They are quite agile and can move efficiently in search of food or to escape predators.

Earwig is derived from Old English ?are "ear" and wicga, 'insect'. (Wicga is in turn related to wiggle, and ultimately to other words implying movement, including way and vehicle, all from PIE wegh-.) The name comes from the old wives' tale that earwigs burrow into the brains of humans through the ear and therein lay their eggs. Earwigs are omnivores that are evolutionarily predisposed to hiding in warm humid crevices and as such one may crawl into a human ear canal. This is not, however, a location where they are frequently found. In short, it is extremely unlikely for an earwig to burrow into a brain. No more so likely than any other insect doing so.

The insect you are describing is likely a black ground beetle, which has a hard black exoskeleton, long antennae, and a defensive mechanism that can produce a stinging sensation when handled. These beetles are not aggressive and generally only sting when provoked or threatened.

These may be fleas. Fleas are small, brown insects that can jump long distances. They are often found on pets or in areas where pets frequent. It's important to treat pets and their living areas if you suspect a flea infestation.

Chigarid is manufactured by the Colgin Companies, Dallas, Tx. 214-951-8687. I have used it for many years and recently been told by pahrmacists at CVS and Walgreens that as of summer 2008, it is no longer being manufactured. It was an excellent anti-itch medicine that could also be used as a liquid-type bandage.

( update ) You can still order it from krogers pharm.

Feelers are sensory organs found on animals that are used to detect or perceive information about their environment. They can help animals sense chemicals, temperature, vibrations, or textures in their surroundings, aiding in navigation, communication, and finding food or mates. Feelers are commonly found on insects, crustaceans, and some other invertebrates.

yes, insects have hearts






No not all insects have hearts, but some have a heart like organ or anything else that acts similar to a human's heart. Also, some insects don't have hearts because they don't have any blood.

Horse hay is really just grass that has been mowed and bundled. It often has the same bugs living in it that were in it while it was growing. Many bugs will also burrow their way into bales of hay and set up housekeeping there.

A cicada makes a small hole all over the ground. They live almost their entire lives in the ground. White grubs and green June bugs also dig small holes in the ground.

Earwigs can be found in various habitats worldwide, such as gardens, forests, and urban areas. They prefer damp, dark places like under rocks, logs, and leaf litter. Earwigs are nocturnal and are known to hide during the day.

June bugs normally nest in dirt. When the female is pregnant she lays eggs in the soil and when the temperature is right the babies emerge looking to mate. They usually die within three or four days after the male mates, and the female lays her eggs.

An insect that has a white body and two pairs of black square wings could be a nymph. The nymph is commonly found near vegetables.
