Moths are generally viewed negatively by the general public, most often associated with corruption, death, and deterioration. They are often viewed as pests, destroyers of clothing and crops. However, there is a family of moths that seems to defy the common perception of these creatures. In fact, these moths have been given the names “Emperor Moths” and “Royal Silkworms,” not only because they differ completely from most moths, but because they also are beneficial to humans. Indeed, because of…

what happened on her own. The cocoon signifies the entrapment she felt as a child being forced inside a cage of her own pain. However, like a moth, Clairece is able to break out from the cocoon of pain that once trapped her transforming her like a larva stuck on the ground to a moth that rises above all others. Without the process of grief that she went through because of her father 's death, it’s not clear if she would have taken the same path in life and thus may never have become such a…

Predators are those organisms that prey on others for food, a ladybird for example is a natural predator of aphids. Parasites are organisms that live at the expense of another, such as the larvae of the parasitic wasp which lives in the larva of the whitefly and eat them from the inside.[2] Integrated Control This is when a range of control methods are used to see the lifecycle of the pest and to see which method/s are the most effective in managing that pest or disease. A typical programme…

Industrial Melanism of Biston Betularia or the Peppered Moth in England has been a textbook example of natural selection since it was first noticed. Before the industrial revolution the peppered moth was most commonly found in the light colored Typica variety. During the industrial revolution there was a significant rise in the dark Carbonaria form and a slight rise in the intermediate Insularia form. Beginning in 1970 the Typica variety has been rising in frequency again. Carbonaria went from…

occasions, dog heartworms will infect human beings. The parasite, Dirofilaria immitis, is spread dog to dog by mosquitoes. When a mosquito obtains a blood meal from an infected dog and then goes on to bite the owner, it is common for some of the heartworm larva to be transferred to the human. Therefore, Heartworm Disease can be considered zoonotic (Diseases passed from animals to man). In a normal person, the body’s immune system quickly recognizes the parasite and destroys it. In rare…

When you first pull an oyster out of the Chesapeake Bay it looks like nothing at all, but as you turn it over in your hand, the dusty green slime falls away and you are left with a misty grey shell. It is rough to the touch, with ripply layers that reflect the water it came from, and it sits in your hand in such a way that makes it feel ancient. If you were to stick a shucking knife in that oyster and pry it open, you would find a thick salty slime surrounding a tan leathery lump. The contents…

you would think is clean, safe, and able to drink without the fear of becoming sick. However, water is not that thing, and it will never be that. Schistosomiasis is a disease that is transmitted by freshwater snails. This snail then sends infected larva into slow-moving or still water, and then enters the body through the skin or body openings when people bathe or work in the water. Once they get inside the body, they grow and develop into mature worms, and they affect the liver, kidneys,…

fertilized the female will deposit a single oviposit on the surface of a mung bean. According to Tomohiro Harano and Takahisa Miyatake A female can lay over one hundred eggs and be fertilized by multiple male partners (Harano & Miyatake, 2009). The larva hatches then burrows into the bean to feed on it until it is an adult rendering the bean useless. The purpose of this experiment is to test whether water availability to male bean beetles will affect their reproductive success. It is expected…

the major stages in the life cycles of selected plants and animals. 4.1e. Each generation of animals goes through changes in form from young to adult. This completed sequence of changes in form is called a life cycle. Some insects change from egg to larva to pupa to adult. The ELA common core includes: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.2.1.a Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., gaining the floor in respectful ways, listening to others with care, speaking one at a time about the topics and texts…

Nikki Anderson GRIZZLY BEAR Ursus arctos horribilis Habitat- Grizzly bears are found in many different habitats, from dense forests to subalpine meadows, open plains and arctic tundra. In North America, grizzly bears are found in western Canada, Alaska, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and a potentially a small population in Washington. Historically, they could be found from Alaska to Mexico and from California to Ohio. The grizzly bear was once…
