Insects

It is likely that you have encountered a crab spider species called the Marbled Orbweaver. These spiders are known for their vibrant orange color and are common in Virginia. They are relatively small, with adults measuring around 1 cm in body length, which is about the size of a teaspoon head including the legs.

Malpighian tubules are the structures that help arthropods maintain water balance. These tubules are responsible for removing waste and regulating the concentration of solutes in the hemolymph, helping to conserve water in arthropods' bodies.

The insect you are describing is likely a female dobsonfly. Female dobsonflies are known for their long wingspan, brownish-black color, and distinctive appearance that can resemble a small fruit. They are commonly found near water sources like bathrooms due to their preference for moist environments.

Arachnids

Katydid bugs have tympanic membranes on their front legs that vibrate in response to sound waves, allowing them to hear. These vibrations are then transmitted to the auditory receptors in their legs, which send signals to their brain for processing.

Jumping allows the flea to quickly move onto a new host, increasing its chances of finding a blood meal. Fleas are able to jump long distances relative to their size, making it easier for them to navigate between different potential hosts in their environment. This ability also helps them evade predators and environmental hazards.

The bite of a triatominae cone-nose assassin bug can cause swelling, redness, welts, flushing around the bite, and intense itching. However, the bite can also cause numerous other problems with different body systems. Sensitive bite victims can experience severe anaphylaxis, which is life threatening if not treated immediately.

Arthropods were among the first animals to explore both terrestrial habitats (land) and aquatic habitats (oceans). Their success in adapting to various environments contributed to their widespread distribution and diversity on Earth.

Bugs come out in spring because the warmer weather triggers their biological processes, such as breeding and feeding. Spring provides the ideal conditions for bugs to be active and reproduce, allowing their population to increase rapidly. Additionally, newly emerged plants provide a fresh food source for bugs, attracting them to come out in search of nourishment.

A water boatman has six legs. These legs are adapted for swimming and help the insect navigate through its aquatic environment.

Seasonal adaptation is when an animal or other organism makes changes to their lifestyle to better suit their environment. For example, bears will hibernate in the winter months to stay warm in the cold.

Scorpions do not need to eat daily. They are capable of surviving for long periods without food, as they have a low metabolism. Typically, scorpions will feed on insects and other small prey whenever they are available, but they can go weeks or even months without eating.

The life cycle of a tick includes egg, larva, nymph, and adult stages. Ticks require blood meals at each stage to transition to the next and can feed on a variety of hosts like mammals, birds, and reptiles. The length of the life cycle varies depending on the tick species and environmental conditions.

Bugs are attracted to sources of food, water, and shelter. Common attractants include sugary substances, decaying organic matter, standing water, and warm, dark hiding spots. Scents from flowers, fruits, and sweating human bodies can also draw bugs.

The eleven or seventeen year cicada actually lives longer then any other insect. But deep in the Egyptian pyramids there is a insect, that the Egyptians worship, that lives for up to thirty years! It is called the Scarab Beetle, sometimes known as "The Gold Bug". Edgar Allen Poe, wrote a wonderful short story, named "The Golden Bug.

Yes, certain species of insects, such as ants and cockroaches, produce a substance called "insect milk." This milk-like substance is a secretion from the brood cells of the insects and is rich in nutrients like protein and fats, which are essential for the growth and development of their offspring.

Maggots breathe oxygen. They are insect larvae and are similar in this regard to all other insects.

A springtail is a small bug that resembles a flea but is not a flea. They are tiny insects that can jump like fleas but are not parasitic or harmful to humans or pets. Springtails are commonly found in damp or moist environments like soil, leaf litter, and decaying organic matter.

Some common types of spiders found in California include black widows, brown widows, cellar spiders, wolf spiders, and garden spiders. It is also home to the desert recluse spider and tarantulas in certain regions.

The biggest living insect is generally considered to be the Acteon Beetle of South America. By weight, New Zealand's Giant Weta takes the prize. In Borneo the stick insect Pharnacia kirbyi can be a foot long and Goliath Scarabs appear to be extremely large. Fossils of dragonflys exist with two foot wingspans. The Queen Alexandra Birdwing of New Guinea sports an 11 inch wingspan, which is pretty good for a butterfly.

The insect you're referring to is the periodical cicada. They spend most of their lives underground as nymphs, feeding on tree roots, then emerge as adults to mate and lay eggs before dying. Periodical cicadas have either a 13- or 17-year life cycle, depending on the species.

Fertilization in butterflies occurs inside the female butterfly's body during the mating process. After copulation, the male transfers sperm to the female's reproductive system, where it fertilizes the eggs as they are being laid.

Insects eat a variety of food sources including plant matter (leaves, flowers), other insects (predation), and decaying organic material (detritivores).
