When was the red lily first found?
Asked by Wiki User
The Red Lily Beetle has received a great deal of press lately; some alarmist gardeners cry, "Woe is me!" but others with a more practical viewpoint say "OK, so what do we do now?" Although B&D Lilies is in the rainy Northwest and there are no Red Lily Beetles in our region, we have been asking our customers in the New England States about their favorite methods of dealing with this relatively new pest. They share that control of the beetle is not expensive, nor requires massive amounts of pesticides or even an overhaul of the garden, but rather common sense, diligence and a little hands and knees work.

Is a succulent a vertebrate or invertebrate?
Asked by Wiki User
Neither. The term "vertebrate" is limited in use to classifying animals (which cacti are NOT).
Despite the fact that cacti have "spines" they are not the type of spines that are used to define vertebrates.
The spines that cacti have are spinose structures (sometimes called spinose teeth or spinose apical processes) - are hard, rigid extensions from areoles (small light- to dark-colored bumps) on cactus surfaces.
Vertebrates are defined as having a spinal cord - a long, thin, tubular bundle of nerves and support tissues. Obviously the spines on cacti are not the same thing as spines in animals and are related only in their etymology - that is, they both derive from the Old French term espine.
In all fairness a backbone does bear some resemblance to a thorny stick with all the protrusions coming of of it.

How are mammals the same as vertebrates?
Asked by Wiki User
All mammals have a spine or a backbone. Another word for a backbone is a "vertebra" and thus all mammals are "vertebrates".
However the presence of a backbone does not DEFINE a mammal because other animals also have backbones, eg reptiles, birds and fish - these animals are also "vertebrates".
Mammals are mammals because they are the onlyanimals to have fur/hair and feed their young on milk (there are some exceptions of non-mammals with fur and who feed milk to their young, not not many).
The reason for all these animals being "vertebrates" is because a long time ago in geological history they all evolved from an animal that had a backbone.
