Glow Worm Research Paper

Just last month, a deadly worm was found in not one, but four locations in the U.S. state of Florida. This worm, until recently, was documented in only twenty-one countries, most of which were island nations. Although the New Guinea Flatworm may seem as a highly dangerous predator, it is only about two inches in length and mainly targets snails for its nutrition. These worms are not harmful to humans, but they will feast on any soft creature in the soil. In order to eat snails or any critters with a hard shell, the New Guinea Flatworm latches itself onto the shell’s opening and then spits out its own stomach through the opening in its belly. This allows an acidic goo to dissolve the snail’s flesh and the worm can continue on with its meal by swallowing both its stomach and the snail.

species group. The location of this earthworm was in Australia, where they claimed their habitat

The new guinea flatworm is from the united states of America.this worm is native to the island of New Guinea where it was originally to have been found in. You can find these worms in tropical areas,coastlands ,planted forests, riparian zones shrubs and urban areas as well.it feeds on earthworms ,slugs and arthopods. This worm can harm the snail called The Giant East African Snail. This worm also can mainly eat mollusks and it especially likes to prey on snail. To hunt for it's prey the worm deposits itself to the bottom of a cabbage leave. It also can follow snail mucus trails to find it`s trail. It also has a infectious rate at least 14.1% and this thing usually lives on cabbage leaves. This worm not only affects the whole population of animals or a specific area this worm can affect humans as

Overall the mealworms for the groups weighed more after the experiment than before. The ranges of weight change varied from around 0.4 to 0.6 grams gained.

Our organism is an R strategist, in summer season the worm population grows and in winter season the worm population dies.

Imagine you are at the bottom of the ocean, and there are hydrothermal vents ejecting hot lava. Adding to your misery, there are huge amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas everywhere that are poisonous to your body. In reality, this is the giant tube worm’s ecosystem. Ecosystems are all of the living things (plants/animals) and the non-living things that live in a specific area and interact with each other. Ecosystems can be of any size. In an ecosystem, there are biotic and abiotic components that are all linked. The pelagic zone or “open ocean zone”, where the giant tube worm, an underwater animal that lives near hydrothermal vents, lives is located next to the continental slope/drop off. The water is much deeper here. At the surface, there is

Earthworm: In our dissection of the earth worm we found they belong to a group of animals called annelids. Its body is segmented into several parts, except for the head and tail regions. Its diet is of decomposed plants and other small particles in the

The mealworm is the larva of the mealworm beetle which is a specie of darkling beetle (Animals.mom.me, 2016). The darkling beetle has a metamorphic life cycle that begins with an egg hatching into a small mealworm over a four week period (Sandhyarani, 2016). The second life stage of a darkling beetle is the larva stage where the egg will hatch into a small brown mealworm that eats and grows for about eight to ten weeks till its next stage as a darkling beetle pupa (Sandhyarani, 2016). The larva stage of a darkling beetle is the stage in which the mealworms will be investigated. The mealworm will then enter the pupa stage during one of its shell sheds causing the mealworm to

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.

(Journey North,2017) Worms are decomposers and break down the soil. They are helpful in gardens to mix around the soil. Knowing these facts, this experiment tested their response to the stimulus of a flashlight. The experiment was ran so there can be a deeper understanding of how worms are in the wild. Answering questions

Guinea Worm disease caused by the infection of a guinea worm also called dracunculiasis. The infection is spread through water sources that contains the guinea worm in which they don’t present symptoms that fast. After a year of been infected that patient present symptoms of intense pains of burning mostly in their legs and dizziness, as we have seen in the video where the disease appears every April of each year. This disease is mainly found in Africa.

There are approximately 800 million people that have acquired whipworm infections. Whipworm infections not only occur in humans, but can also occur in animals such as dogs and cats. Contamination with the whipworm usually accidentally occurs as a result of touching the contaminated dirt and then touching the hands to the mouth. Contamination might also occur by not properly washing vegetables or fruits before consumption. After ingestion of the whipworm eggs, the eggs typically travel to the small intestines via the gastrointestinal tract. In the small intestines the eggs then hatch and the larvae grow to maturity. The adult worm them developes in the large intestines. The female worms that are present in the large intestines can begin to transfer eggs into the intestines within two months. Female worms can produce from approximately three thousand to twenty thousand eggs in a twenty four hour

It is possible to assume that the worm consumed decomposing material within the terrestrial chamber such as the dead spotted roaches. It was clear that the spearmint plant wat doing living is good conditions at it grew a good amount throughout the thirteen days that data was collected. For the aquatic chamber, the food web is a bit more difficult to analyze. There was no clear difference within the aquatic chamber besides how the eelgrass began to slowly die and the water color slightly yellowed. It is obvious that the mosquito fish had some form of nutrients (most likely the eelgrass), otherwise it would have died within a few days due to starvation.

Earthworm samples were collected from the moist soil at Wilcuts trail by Hess Creek within a 152 meter area. Due to the isolation of this environment, there were an abundant amount of undisturbed soil with many earthworms that could be collected as test subjects. Several holes were dug to be 1-3 cm deep with a shovel, the soil was hand sifted to find the earthworm subjects. More than 60 adult earthworm samples were collected within six 40 ounce plastic containers. Each earthworm was checked for a clitellum band around their body which indicates the worm is adult. Each plastic container was filled with 30 ounces of soil that was weighed out via a portable scale. The worms were stored in the soil in which they were found so that they

Glow worms lives in Australia. Glow worms eats insects and other invertebrates. Snails & Slugs are a diet to Glow worms so they don’t eat it. Glow worms are very wide and there are bundles of them around houses or anywhere. Some people might think their beetles because there big and bucked eye. On a glow worm there is a green or light on the end of its tail. Glow worms spend 2 or more nights with their tails in the air. Their tails are light street lights that’s how bright they are.
