Ants Vs Lacewing Larva

In a land far far away there were two anthills. Only two in the land. The anthills were not aware of their existence. In one anthill brimming with collected resources and a fair queen lived the Opie ants. In the other there were corrupted a corrupted queen who made the ants work until their death to satisfy her. Those were the Totie ants. Some of the Totie ants were good and hardworking but some turned evil just like the queen. The Totie ants and the Opie ants had the same anthills but different leader. The Opies had an abundance of food; whereas the Totie ants were starving because the queen only looked after her own well-being and ate all the food. The Totie ants were miserable with their leaders and eventually there

In 2012, 16259 people in the United States were murdered and another 1.8 million people were sent to the hospital due to assault. Humans resorting to violence and harming others is a daily occurrence, but why? Is it in our nature, are we instinctively violent, and why is it that these acts are not only happening in the United States but worldwide. Although the average person does not leave their home planning on harming somebody that day, under the right circumstances almost every single person in this world will commit an act of violence. Sometimes these acts are justified, such as when we are trying to protect ourselves or a loved one, but what about the smaller acts that we all do every day.

Pheidole Megacephala are commonly found in cool to warm enviroments, such as subtropical and tropical regions. Regions such as southern parts of North America, Central America, Africa, and Islands of the Americas. In their colony, it is consisted minor workers, fighters, soliders, and obviously the queen. Each of the groups of ant play a major role in order to advance their colony either territorial or food wise. When on the hunt for food the minor workers are in charge of bring the food needed or the larvaes or the queen. Fighters they remain near the nest just incase of any threats from another species. Also, the fighters help the minor workers protect larger food from other ant colonies. Minor workers their job is to patrol the ground, search

As I began reading this piece, I put in the back of my mind, “Trailhead” which I read for class before on how ants live their lives. As always, these small insects who I usually do not care about, surprise me with their way of living. The Myth of the Ant Queen follows a study made by Deborah Gordon, who spends most of her time studying ants. The author opens its piece with Gordon’s work and then moves towards the creation of societies, and the use of technology to develop those. The writing in this piece, for myself, leans toward a future society as a sign of awareness. The author mentions bottom-up intelligence, which comes from one person, and gets build from togetherness. The main goal in The Myth of the Ant Queen is that there is not a

Mealworms are Darkling Beetle larva and are about 2 inches long, with the lifetime of about a month. They eat organic material including, leaves, feces, and stored food. They can infest your house, especially in cupboards. It is best to use anti-flea on the edges of stored products if infested by mealworms. They come out of eggs, and when they are ready to become beetles, they go into a pupa stage. In this final stage of molting, it can only move by wriggling. And it has multiple body parts that cannot work.

After samples were collected and consolidated to a tuple-ware container, we set up the experiment in the science lab, located at St. Andrews University, Laurinburg. The experiment consisted of a white sheet of paper, and three writing utensils’: rollerball, ball-point, and a sharpie. In essence, we release one termite at a time onto the white paper and draw lines with each of the pens listed above; to determine which line or lines the termite prefers. Each termite was tested and documented.

In “Leiningen Versus the Ants”, Carl Stephenson tells how Leningen, the owner of a Brazilian plantation is getting warned from a commissioner that an act of god is on their way. Ten miles long and two miles wide, a stretch of nothing but ants, devouring anything in their path in an instant. Leiningen tells the district commissioner that he will not leave the plantation. He has confidence that he can destroy all of the ants with his intelligence and with the help of his 400 workers. Leiningen gathers his men and starts setting up a defensive line. He believes “The human brain needs only to become fully aware of its powers to conquer even the elements.”

There are a variety of pests that can invade your home. An important step in knowing how to deal with the problem is being able to identify the pest that has moved in and gotten comfortable. However, there is a lot more that you should know if you want to successfully remove these pests from your home and avoid a future infestation.

                Ahh! Velvet ant! Now this is how I became so afraid of velvet ants.To begin with, one day I was in the sonoran desert and I came across and ornges-reddish pretty big crawling insect so i decided i wanted to look at it even more and I realized its one of the biggest insects i've seen.This velvet ant also has a really tough exoskeleton so if you try to smush it the insect will roll over and sting you with the enormous stinger.These insects can grow to  be 3/4 inches in size the red velevt ant is the biggest of thier kind.

Melbourne is the capital city of victoria it’s the second-most populous city in Australia. Melbourne has townships, and rural localities in the greater metropolitan area in the State of Victoria. Melbourne is the hub of Victoria's business, administrative, cultural and recreational activities. The City of Melbourne is a place of rich cultural diversity that is one of the main reasons why a lot of tourists visit Melbourne.

They cause lots of damage on the environment. The Red Fire Ants are the most harmful.

The Cyphonia Clavata is a kind of treehopper insect that has developed an odd but effective adaptation. It has an ant shaped protrusion coming from it’s back. More specifically, a regional tree ant, which is known for being tough and unappetizing to predators because of the spikes extending from it’s

Arthropods are the most successful group of animals because they are the most diverse and live in a greater range of habitats than do the members of any other phylum in the animal kingdom. They are the most numerous living animal species currently known in the world and there may be millions more to be identified. (Myers, 2001) Some species known are insects, spider and crustacean and all are considered invertebrates, which means their bodies do not have internal bones for support. Instead, they produce a hard exoskeleton made of chitin which covers and protects their bodies and as they grow that protective barrier sheds away and are left with a soft exoskeleton. All arthropods have jointed legs attached to their hard exoskeletons that allow

The class Insecta is comprised of six legged organisms which are divided into three sections, the head, thorax and abdomen. The head of most insects contains a set of antennas used for sensing and a mandible used for crushing or cutting food. The second section of the insect or the thorax of the insect contains all of the six legs and can contain the wings of some insects, it is a key part of the insect’s movements. Insects are the only the only known arthropods which can possibly have wings. The back segment, the abdomen is used by insects to contain reproductive organs and can also hold means of defense that are utilized when the insect is threated such as stingers.

The purpose of this project is to determine the effect of household substances, which contain naturally occurring ant-repelling chemicals, on ant behavior. While there are many plants that chemically repel ants, this project will test if there are any household products, which contain some of the same naturally occurring repellents, which ants will avoid. This paper will first identify what plants repel ants.
