Python molurus bivittatus
What is the family genus and species of a grasshopper?
All grasshoppers have the same classification: Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Arthropoda, Subphylum: Hexapoda, Class: Insecta and Order: Orthoptera. The family, genus and species depends on the specific type of grasshopper.
What is the location of a burmese pythons home?
The Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus) is native to Southeast Asia, and lives in jungles and grassy marshlands.
Is the two striped grasshopper native or invasive to South Dakota?
The two striped grasshopper or Melanopus bivittatus is native to nearly all of N. America. Despite it's potential for plant destruction, it is not an invasive species.
How scientific name are important?
Scientific names are unique to one specific instance. For example - A Burmese python and an Indian python look very similar in colour and markings. Therefore the Burmese python has been given the scientific name 'Python bivittatus. The Indian python is named Python molurus.
What do grey with white striped spider look like?
Jumping spiders, or salticids, are so named because they have a highly coordinated jumping ability with which they capture prey and traverse from plant to plant. Their sense of sight is extraordinary for invertebrates; they can see in color (DeVoe 1975), and the large front eyes focus on objects (Land 1972). Many are marked with contrasting colors or bands, especially the males who display this ornamentation while dancing before females to win acceptance for mating. Jumping spiders as adults may be as small as 1 mm in length or as large as 23 mm, but most are 5 to 10 mm. All jumping spiders are harmless to humans, although the larger species can give a locally painful bite if roughly handled. Two species of jumping spiders occurring in Florida. The gray wall jumper, Menemerus bivittatus (Dufour), and the pantropical jumper, Plexippus paykulli (Audouin), have been imported by man from the tropical Old World. Both are almost exclusively associated with man-made structures, usually buildings where they may be numerous around lights at night, catching the insects attracted to the lights. Both are medium- large jumping spiders, about 8 to 12 mm in length. Adults and immatures of both species are present all year, although most mating and reproduction begin in the fall and continue until spring. Both are found from Florida to Texas and south to Paraguay. Menemerus bivittatus also occurs in California, and both species are widely distributed in the Old World tropics. The occurrence of dense populations of these two species around human habitations makes them of considerable beneficial importance in the control of flies, mosquitoes, and other human pests. At the same time, since they do not build webs to capture prey, they do not create the cobwebs which so often annoy many housewives. === gray wall jumper, Menemerus bivittatus (Dufour) Abbreviated Synonymy === Salticus bivittatus Dufour, 1831Attus melanognathus Lucas, 1839Marpissa melanognathus, Simon, 1883Menemerus bivittatus, Simon, 1901; Barnes, 1958This species is dorsoventrally flattened. The males are 8 to 9 mm in length, while females are 8 to10 mm. In life, males appear to be longitudinally striped with alternating black and white, but in alcohol it is apparent that the dark abdominal stripes are reddish brown, and reddish-brown hairs also occur around the eyes. The carapace is mostly black with a white stripe on each side and one down the middle, the lateral stripes joining in front across the clypeus. A distinctive white inverted "V" mark occurs on the chellicerae. The female is gray dorsally, the carapace edged with a thin white stripe laterally and an orange clypeus; the semifoliar gray abdomen is edged with broad black stripes on each side which meet posteriorly. In alcohol, some reddish- brown hairs can be seen within the gray areas, especially on the abdomen. Immatures closely resemble the adult females, although sub-adult males may be distinguished by their swollen palpi. All free-living stages feed primarily on small Diptera which alight on buildings, although they are capable of capturing large crane flies twice their length, and larger, heavier muscoid flies. Females make a white eggsac in a crevice, somewhat flattened and about 1.5 cm in diameter, inside which they stay and guard 25 to 40 eggs which are contained inside a lenticular silken case about 6 mm in diameter. Spiderlings disperse about three weeks after the eggs are laid. male gray wall jumper female gay wall jumper === pantropical jumper, Plexippus paykulli (Audouin) Abbreviated Synonymy === Attus paykullii Audouin, in Savigny, 1825Plexippus ligo, C.L. Koch, 1846Plexippus paykulli, Pavesi, 1883Thotmes paykulli, F.O.P.-Cambridge, 1901This species is robust, with a high carapace. The males are 9 to11 mm in length, while the females are 9 to12 mm. Males are distinctly black and white striped, but the order of the dark and light stripes on the abdomen is the reverse of that found in M. bivittatus, i.e., P. paykulli has a light central stripe bordered by dark stripes, whereas M. bivittatus has a dark central stripe bordered by light stripes. A pair of white spots occurs near the posterior tip of the abdomen. The male's carapace is marked similarly to that of M. bivittatus, with a central white stripe and a white stripe on each side, but these lateral stripes, instead of meeting in front on the clypeus, curve up, around, and between the anterior eyes. The central white stripe also continues between the anterior eyes, so that the face presents three white stripes on a black background. The female is brown: the carapace is darker, especially the ocular area, with a dull orange median stripe on the thoracic slope. The abdomen has two short black stripes on the posterior half, each containing two white spots, and a tan stripe down the middle with some darker chevrons within. As in most jumping spiders, the immatures resemble the adult female, although sub-adult males have more resemblance to adult males both in color pattern and in their swollen palpi. Adults and immatures feed on a wide variety of arthropod prey, including flies, moths, smaller spiders, and flying ants (Edwards et al. 1974). Muma (1975) observed P. paykulli in citrus groves in Central Florida -- the only recent report of this species from plants rather than from man-made structures. The eggsac is made by the female in a sheltered area, between or under boards, under eaves, or in suitably-sized crevices. The eggsac is 2.5 to 3.5 cm in diameter, and the female stays inside to guard a lenticular silken case about 9 mm in diameter containing 35 to 60 eggs. Spiderlings emerge and disperse between three and four weeks after the eggs are laid. male pantropical jumper female pantropical jumper
In classification why is it important to use names for living things that everyone agrees on?
Using the same names for living things ensures clear communication and understanding among scientists, researchers, and the general public. It also helps avoid confusion and errors in documenting, studying, and preserving biodiversity. Consistent naming conventions are essential for efficient collaboration and accurate comparison of data across different studies and regions.
How can you tell from two different names that they are different species?
Simply because every species has its own unique individual name. For example - the Burmese & Indian pythons look very similar, but they have different characteristics, and physical appearance. Hence they are identified as two separate species. They are distinguished by their Latin names 'Python molurus bivittatus' for the Burmese python, and 'Python molurus molurus' for the Indian python. Being a reptile-keeper - I would know just by looking at those Latin names on vivariums, which species was which.
What is the taxonomy of a Burmese Python?
The average length of an adult Burmese Python - is around 12 feet (3.7 metres). Average adult weight is around 79 pounds (39 Kilos). They have a light tan background colour, with dark brown 'rosettes' of colour along the whole length of their body. The underside is usually a creamy-white colour.
Are the animals becoming extinct in the everglades?
There are quite a few endangered animals that currently live in the Florida Everglades. These include the American Crocodile, the American Alligator, various sea turtles, birds, the Florida panther, and the manatee.
What is the scientific name for a python?
It depends which python you mean. The scientific name for the group they belong to is Pythonidae. Some individual species are Python sebae (African Rock Python), Python regius(Royal python) & Python molurus (Burmese python)
