1. Cockroaches – cockroaches can live without their head but only for a few days. They can go without food longer than they can go without water. Cockroaches have 6 legs and 18 knees and are said to be one of fastest moving insects. A female cockroach mates only once, but remains pregnant for the rest of her life.
2. Fleas – fleas don’t have wings. They travel from host to host by jumping. It is said that a flea can jump approximately 120 times its height. Did you know that female fleas are larger than the males?
3. Mosquitos – Did you know that male mosquitos don’t actually bite but it is the female mosquito who feeds on your blood? Did you know that mosquitoes are said to be attracted to the color blue.
4. Crickets – Only male crickets

Housefly – The common housefly is considered one of the most dangerous insect. They carry and transmit diseases. Think about where you find them when they aren’t annoying you. Flies can’t ingest solid food. In fact they regurgitate their food to liquefy it so they can eat it. I really know why I hate a fly now.
7. Ants – Did you know that ant’s don’t sleep? Ants are super strong and it is estimated that they can lift 20 times their own body weight. Without a queen ant, the entire colony will die. Why? Because no new worker ants are born to serve the colony. Ants can’t chew their food. Instead they move their jaw from side to side to extract juice from their food.
8. Wasps and Bees – Approximately 100 or more deaths each year are contributed to wasp and bee stings.
9. Termites – In almost all cases termite workers and soldiers are blind. Termite soldiers warn the colony of threats by tapping out warning signals against available surfaces.
10. Spiders – No one spider web is identical. Each is a custom design and some say are a thing of beauty. Most of us of courses prefer to simply get rid of the web and the occupant. Did you know that spiders are actually beneficial? They catch and eat other pests. Not all spiders are poisonous. And some spiders are actually musicians. No seriously, they pluck there webs strands to attract
The presence of a bee generally scares people. So they swat at it, which makes the bee angry and defensive, which causes the bee to sting. Once the bee stings someone, it dies. Most people might think their death is a good thing. Unfortunately, various species of bees have been added to the endangered species list (Kennedy). Bees pollinate about 70% of the crops used by 90% of the world (What Would Happen) and as of February 2017, 10 million bees have died since 2010 ( Bennett). Bees need to be saved to ensure the Earth’s survival, along with our own.
The creosote bush grasshopper has a simple body. It has a rounded head capsule which contains the compound eyes, chewing mouth parts, and the short thread-like antennae, which are always shorter than the rest of body (Estella, 2009). The middle thoracic segments and part of the abdomen are covered by a type of hard shield called a pronotum which extends from the first thoracic segment. The forewings are leathery but they are not used for flight. Instead, they protect the delicate hind wings. They also have long jumping hind legs, which enable them to leap well over 20 times their body length (Anonymous, 2015).
Sowbugs, although referred to as a “bug” in its name is in fact not an insect, but rather an isopod (cite). Although the misconception of Sowbugs being insects is very common, individuals need to be reminded that insects have only three pairs of legs whereas sowbugs have seven.
It is well known that some female insects and spiders eat the males during and after mating and the praying mantis and the black widow spider are two examples. Scientists have always believed that the males were eaten because they weren’t able to get away. The male it was assumed would try to survive to breed again the female simply considered the male as food. The two were seen as antagonists in a real-life “battle of the sexes.”
How is lord of the flies similar to the government? I think that in the book it shows us how crazy democracy can be if we don’t pay attention to the facts that are staring us dead in the face. In the book I think that the Littluns represent the peopless'. While the Biguns represent the government and how they control the Littluns wellbeing just like the government controls our wellbeing. In the book piggy was killed because he had more knowledge than everyone else and he also outsmarted a lot of the people there. Like jack he was so overwhelmed with power that he forgot how piggy and him were friends in the begging and he wanted something that everyone wanted “fire” power. As Jack took piggy’s glasses and left everyone, who wouldn’t follow
They use their legs for flying and walking. They have six legs they have two forelegs, two middle legs, and two wind legs.The legs look like pincers. The wind legs are longer than the forelegs and middle legs.
Moreover, bugs are cooked and served. This means that they are not cut up or skinned. Bugs are served just as they are, so people eat the whole shell and all the body parts of the bug. Imagine looking at your plate and eating a bug. You may have
In most kitchens the small flies that are found are Drosophila Melanogaster also called fruit fly. They are often brought in by ripened tomatoes, grapes and other perishable items from the garden. Drosophila melanogaster is a little two winged insect about 3mm long two winged insect that belongs to the Diptera, the order of the flies. The drosophila egg is about half a millimeter long. Fertilization takes about one day the embryo to develop and hatch into a worm-like larva. The larva eats and grows continuously, after two days as a third in star larva; it moults one more time to form an immobile pupa. Over the next four days, the body is completely remodeled to give the adult winged form, which then hatches from the pupal
B. When it comes to insects each species provides a different type of benefit when
Bumblebees. Rather peculiar little things. Rounded, hairy little beasties that somehow attain the ability to fly. The first time I laid eyes upon one was roughly two hours after I was born. Yes, there it was, the little thing dancing around within bounds of early morning sunlight, in the window of the maternity ward in Chesterfield Hospital. My eyes gazed upon it in wonder, simply following, observing its great gesticulations with such great curiosity.
The Bumble Bee is the third on the list for a few reasons. For one, it’s an important bug to our society because they are practically giving us food. As some people don't already know, is that the nectar gives the bees energy and strength to go from flower to flower. They also pollinate flowers for us, buy going from flower and flower, collecting what’s from the flower them, and carries it away with them.
All are carniverous and have four pair of walking legs, one pair of pedipalps, and one pair of chelicerae. (Spiders, W.Shear) Each chelicerae consists of a base and a fang.
The name “scorpionfly” comes from the physical appearance of male genitalia, which resemble the curved tail and stinger of a scorpion. However, they do not sting, nor do they have venom. The swollen part of the tail functions as an enlarged sex organ. This prominent characteristic is found primarily in the family Panorpidae, but its uniqueness is responsible for the most common name for Mecoptera.
In terms of their size, the females are on average larger than the males. Ladybugs have jaws that move like that of a human being, moving side to side as well as moving up and down when they are chewing.
Most cockroaches are light brown to black color to suit their cryptic, habitat and nocturnal behavior. Cockroach body is typically oval and flattened dorsal-ventrally. This type of shape allows it to squeeze through as well as escape into narrow hole or cracks and spaces in litter, walls and rocks. Body parts of cockroaches can be divided into three parts which are the head, thorax and abdomen. Head of cockroaches bearing a pair of antennae, two compound eyes and a biting or chewing mouthparts. At the thorax, three pairs of legs and two pairs of wings are attached. But, not all the cockroaches has wing. For example, Madagascar cockroach. In certain cockroaches, adult
