behind the head, and the larva wiggles while it hangs upside down to remove the old skin. When the skin fall off, the larva becomes a pupa.A newly emerged butterfly will wait two or more hours before it can fly. New wings are small and shriveled,so the butterfly pumps body fluid through its wing veins in order to make them get…

genus Ommatissus spp. seem to be more restrictive in their host ranges of palms, produce more honeydew and cause remarkable direct damage to palms through oviposition and feeding (Howard, 2001). O. lybicus is limited to P. dactylifera (monophagous insect) and found in almost all date palm…

Germany offers their anteaters a mix of honey, diced fruits (including apples), boiled eggs and other proteins. In the United States, zoos feed their anteaters soft pellets made specifically for insectivores. Insectivores are animals that primarily eat insects. When a Giant Anteater feels threatened, it stands on its hind legs, hold its arms out wide with its claws spread. To keep their claws sharp, they walk on their knuckles with their claws tucked under. Can you flick your tongue in and out…

Honey bees are small winged insects that have a huge impact in our modern-day society and agriculture. Honeybees provide us with more than just honey; they also supply us with a wide variety of fruits and vegetables through pollination. Sadly, honey bees are on the verge of extinction. Without these tiny creatures, we would suffer a great loss in produce. Throughout this paper, we will explore what a honeybee is, it’s job, and how we can stop its extinction. The western honey bee is a…

The Spotted Wing Drosophila, (SWD) scientifically known as Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, is not your average fruit fly. Going by multiple aliases such as the cherry fruit fly or the cherry vinegar fly, the SWD has made a rather unattractive name for itself. The Spotted Wing Drosophila’s Taxonomic Tree is as follows: Domain: Eukaryota, Kingdom: Metazoa, Phylum: Arthropoda, Subphylum: Uniramia, Class: Insect, Order: Diptera, Family: Drosophilidae, Genus: Drosophila, and Specieis: Drosophila…

Honeybees are social insects that live in hives. Bees have a three body part, 6 legs, a pair of antennae, compound eyes, jointed legs, and a hard exoskeleton. The three body parts are the head, thorax, and abdomen. The thorax is the middle part of the bee that is between the head and abdomen. In the thorax is where the two pairs of wings and six legs get support from. Do you know how many wings a bee has? The answer is four. Two wings are attached in the front and two wings are attached in the…

looking organisms. Examples Seen in Nature Batesian mimicry is like hiding candy in a can of Spam so your friends won’t take it. For example, some types of harmless flies have yellow and black or brown and black stripes that resemble those of stinging insects like bees and wasps (Figure 1). Because the organisms look alike, predators are likely to avoid the harmless flies with the assumption that they can sting. Other examples of Batesian mimicry include some species of…

Insect biodiversity is very large and they are responsible for more than half of the population of eukaryote on the planet. It is approximately 900,000 species of insects have been described and recorded. Insects belong to phylum Arthropoda and class Insecta. Five orders of insects with high species richness include Hymenoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and Hemiptera. Insects basic morphology are three pairs of legs, a segmented body divided into three (head, thorax and abdomen) or two,…

Plexippi, known as the Monarch Butterfly, is considered to be the king of all butterflies for their beautiful orange 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…
