Insect repellent

Even when the beauty surrounded me, The mosquitos would not forget about the scent, I then looked like a huge walking mosquito bite. The mosquitos gave me what felt like millions of bites even though there were probably at least 50. When the mosquito attached to my arm it felt like a paint brush swiping against my arm. Why do mosquitos and gnats have to be alive? I would be a lot more comfortable hiking right now if they were not living. The mosquitos and gnats were attacking me probably because…

There are also hazards that face the bat colony itself. By being located in the East College Street parking garage the bats may be at risk to the insecticide that is sprayed throughout the warmer part of the year. Insecticide trucks drive down highly populated centers in Nacogdoches, particularly those near athletic areas. As verified by Brian Bray, Director of Community Services for the city of Nacogdoches, there has been insecticide sprayed down East College Street throughout the year until…

Environmental Effects on Pillbug Behavior Catherine Liapes October 14, 2015 AP Biology- Pd.9 Mr. Angus Introduction: Before conducting this lab, I researched information on pillbugs and learned that pill bugs are commonly found in damp environments such as piles of leaves, or under logs. Although they are crustaceous, they can still spend their entire lives on land. They are about ¾ inch in length with seven pairs of legs, and multiple antennae. Pillbugs are nocturnal and mainly…

This shows Onychonycteris finneyi, a bat fossil. The image shows its wing digits widely spread out with small claws on tip of each finger. It also shows the long tail found in earlier bat fossils (Moskowitz, 2008). Molecular Mechanisms The origins of bats wing muscles, molecular and cellular mechanisms are unknown but this research shows that the wing muscles of bats come from “a multiple myogenic source of different embryonic origins” (Tokita, Abe, && Suzuki, 2012). The results conclude that…

researched is insects. Marcel Dickes speech “Why Not Eat Insects” filmed during the TEDGlobal 2010 explores the benefits of eating insects to gain protein. Dicke explains how the majority of the world is already dinning on insects, and that we that do not eat them on a day to day basis are the minority. Throughout his presentation, Dicke tries to convince the people who are seeking information about the issues involving the…

chapter with the major motif of bees, to provide insights in to the events of each chapter, and to accentuate the ideas about women and mothers that resonate throughout the entire story. Chapter four begins by saying that “’Honeybees are social insects and live in colonies. Each colony is a family unit, comprising a single, egg-laying female or queen and her many sterile daughters called workers. The workers cooperate in the food-gathering, nest-building and rearing the offspring. Males are…

Habitat: Brown Recluses are found primarily in the South-West Regions. These small, isolated introductions are likely the result of household goods or firewood transported from the brown recluse’s natural range into areas where it was not previously known to occur. These spiders commonly live in basements and garages of houses or they also hide behind boards or boxes. This spider will not make webs out in the open. Populations of brown recluse spiders can be very high in infested buildings.…

study of insects and is a subarea of anthropology. The forensic section of entomology deals with application of the the study of how insects relate to criminal matters. In most cases they deal with time of death determinations, location of death, and determining whether the body was moved or not. Bugs eat materials inside of and outside of the body throughout decomposition. A way to use them to determine how long someone has been dead, is by observing where in the life cycle the insects are at…

and black colored wings and their incredible ability to migrate long distances such as, California and Mexico in large populations. Biologists have calculated distance of these arduous journeys to be 3000 miles, which is the longest journey that any insect can travel. Monarch butterflies are also unique in that generations of these species are able to migrate in the same route without a foreknowledge of the direction. Unfortunately, recent observations have shown a rapid decrease of the…

Bees and wasps are one of the common insects; they are common in their color yellow and black stripes; they are buzzing around the people, and if you are not lucky enough they will sting you, and you will not like being stung with a bee. Based on my experience, a wasp stung my ear, so my ear was swollen and I was suffering for a week with swollen ear; I felt like I was an elephant or an elf. After that I started to hate bees and wasps. I registered in the Linc Home Study to improve my…
