As many know, a Venus flytrap (or Dionaea muscipula seed) achieves its energy not only through photosynthesis, but through devouring its prey (dragon flies, mosquitoes, etc.). The Venus flytrap’s “mouth” (trapping mechanism) is very rough and is always green. This part of the organism’s body is also covered with a fragrant nectar that attracts its prey towards it. When the prey reaches the Venus flytrap, it begins to feed off of the nectar. Once touching its leaf, the prey sets off a twenty…

Honey bees play a significant role in the production of the various crops humans consume on a daily basis. Without the pollination services of the honeybees, 35 percent of the human diet would disappear. The bees assist in producing fruits, vegetables, almonds, hay, cotton, and other crops which provide nutrients that are necessary for survival. However in recent years, bees have been dying at an alarmingly high rate. This is a problem that must be acknowledged and addressed because it is…

Dawkins now starts to switch to natural selection. He begins with the discussion of plants have a part in insects and birds evolving. The plants bride the insects and birds with food. They are drawn in by the rich good taste of the flowers nectar. For bees, the flower leaves a sort of trace to guide them. This trace is in fact ultraviolet pigments that draw in the bees.

focus on and discover more ways to help protect their habitats, by limiting the amount of tourist activity/people living in the Galapagos.

It will also ensure that no incidents, such as the spread of Malaria between tortoises in 2009, happen…

Few studies on the biology and life cycle of bostrichid beetles have been done with mostly concentrating on economically important species (Liu et al., 2008). Typically, the bostrichid beetle undergoes complete metamorphosis with four life stages – egg, larva, pupa and adult. Eggs are laid in crack and cervices of sawn lumber or logs. Larva hatch and bore ¼ inch into the wood. Tunnels are filled with tightly packed, fine sawdust-like materials. Pupation happens at the end of the tunnel. Once…

It would be detrimental for honeybees to work independently within a colony for the bee population. Starting at six days old, young bees start to feed younger larvae in their hive. The adult bees do other tasks such as scavenging for the other honeybees. In a hive, there is no simple hierarchy, unlike human beings who have business hierarchies for large businesses. Each bee does something to benefit another bee. The queen may be valuable, because there is only one in each hive, but the queen…
