Insects
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.

Yes, some bugs do eat grass. Grasshoppers, caterpillars, beetles, and some species of ants are known to feed on grass. They help in the decomposition process and contribute to nutrient recycling in the ecosystem.
What are the ''worm-like'' stage called?
The "worm-like" stage of an insect's life is its larvalstage. Examples are:
* caterpillar (butterfly)
* wriggler (mosquito)
* tadpole (frog)
* grub (flies and bees)
Insecticides do not always kill off the bugs. Some survive, and pass on the toxins to whatever eats them. Then those animals carry the insecticide if they don't die first. Then, the animals who eat those get the poison. If an animal survives the poison, it does not live a happy life, though. For example: Insects consume plants coated in insecticide. Those insects are eaten by fish. The fish are eaten by eagles. The eagles' eggs are weak, due to the poison. The eggs die. Soon, the entire species is in danger. (This really happened to Bald eagles)
Does lice shampoo kill the eggs?
No, not all of them, this is why a comb comes with the kit, to remove any eggs that remain after the adult lice have been killed. If these eggs are not removed, reinfestation is likely to occur.
use a container, box, etc. with an opening, but the opening over the bug, and slip in hard cardboard or construction paper under it, then lift the box, the bug should be inside and conprimised
How many watts does a firefly produce?
So, the sun gives off light because of the different types of gases in the core. These gases , when combined, create radiation. The sun gives off this radiation in rays, producing light rays, that comes from our sun and other stars.
-This all comes from a 8th grader.
Additional answer
The Sun is very very hot and hot objects, as you know by a red hot poker, emit light and heat. So why is it hot. It's not the mixing of gases that does it, but the nuclear reactions going on. These reactions cause the Sun to loses mass at a stupendous rate (several million tonnes per second), and according to Einstein the amount of energy given off when mass is lost is also stupendous. So the Sun gets stupendously hot.
But the question asked how MUCH light is emitted by stars. This is presumably measured in photons and I don't know the answer.
Name two other animals in the same phylum as a crayfish?
Crab, shrimp, and lobsters are in the same phylum as crayfish. They are all in the arthropoda phylum. Arthopods have an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages.
What kind of scientist study insects?
Scientists who study insects are called entomologists. They focus on the biology, behavior, ecology, and classification of insects. Their research helps us understand the roles insects play in the ecosystem and how they impact the environment and human health.
What are the little red bugs on my office desk?
It's possible that the little red bugs on your office desk might be red spider mites. They are very tiny pests that can infest indoor plants or furniture. You may want to properly identify them and take steps to eliminate them, such as cleaning the area thoroughly or using appropriate pesticides.
The spider described is likely a bold jumping spider (Phidippus audax). They are black with a distinctive white stripe, typically around the size of a quarter, and can display aggressive behavior if provoked. While they have the ability to bite, their venom is not considered dangerous to humans.
Insects lay eggs in a variety of places depending on the species. Some common locations include in or near water for aquatic insects, on plants or in the soil for terrestrial insects, or even inside other organisms as parasites. It ultimately depends on the insect's life cycle and reproductive strategy.
Pictures of bugs that blue birds eat?
Bluebirds are insectivores and commonly eat a variety of bugs such as beetles, caterpillars, grasshoppers, crickets, and ants. However, they may also consume fruits and berries, especially during the non-breeding season when insects are less abundant. Bluebirds are known for their beautiful blue plumage, and while there are not pictures of them eating bugs specifically, you can often observe them foraging for insects in fields or gardens.
Inchworms are not known to bite humans or pets. They are harmless caterpillars that primarily feed on plant leaves. If you come into contact with an inchworm, it may crawl onto your skin but it will not bite or sting.
What are 5 characteristics of insects?
3 body parts
one pair of antennae
compound eyes
mandibles

open circulatory system
Can silverfish lay eggs in your ears?
No, silverfish do not lay eggs in ears. They are small insects that are more commonly found in damp, dark areas of the home like bathrooms and basements. If you have concerns about bugs in your ears, it's best to consult a medical professional.
The ears of a cicada are located next to the tymbals. Cicadas have a special muscle that folds the ears to protect the organs from the high levels of sound that are emitted when the critters are singing.
Why does a walking stick look like a tree branch?
Because of cryptic coloration, a form of camouflage. It is a defense mechanism used by Walking Sticks, or phasmatodea, to protect themselves against predators by blending in with their surroundings.
Daddy long legs a true spider?
It depends on exactly what species you are identifying as "daddy long legs".
The name daddy long legs can refer to several species or differing classifications. These are:
- Harvestman - This species is not a true spider although it is classed as Arachnida, as it has eight legs. It is commonly called either "daddy long legs" or "grand daddy long legs" in the USA and is found worldwide, with over 6,400 species. There is a myth about these creatures being the most venomous of spiders, but its jaws are too small to bite, however this is a complete fallacy, as none of these species have venom glands or fangs. They are completely harmless and are not poisonous.
- Crane fly - These are typically known as daddy long legs in the UK. They are a long legged flying insect that can be found all over the world. There are over 14,000 identified species.
- Cellar Spider - This is the only true spiderknown by the name "daddy long legs". In fact all members of the family Pholcidae are group with this name. They are found commonly all over the world and again are easily recognised by their long legs. Again the myth says they are the most venomous spider in the world, but this is again untrue for the same reason as above.
What kind of tree does a walking stick live on?
Walking sticks are found in forests all over the world. They generally do not have a favorite tree on which to reside.
No. Arthropoda is a phylum, containing the classes Insecta, Arachnida, Crustacea and Myriapoda - insects, arachnids, crustaceans and centi/millipedes. So all insects are arthropods but not all arthropods are insects. ^^
Yes, humans can eat bugs. In many cultures, insects are considered a delicacy and are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, it's important to ensure that the bugs are safe to eat and have been prepared properly to avoid any health risks.
What insects are living in the Amazon rainforest?
Many types of insects live in the rain forests of the world, but in general, there are various types of Cicadas, Beetles, (from very small to extremely large) and many ants. Acacia tree ants latch onto anything that attacks their tree, and hold on, even when dead. Some people use them as makeshift stitches. There are also a large number of rare butterflies and moths. :3
What are red tiny bugs found in bricks called?
The red tiny bugs found in bricks are likely clover mites. These small red arachnids are common in outdoor areas, including on and around brick structures. Clover mites are harmless to humans and pets but can be a nuisance if they invade homes in large numbers.
