Question: Worlds within texts often prompt us to question the worlds outside texts. Write an essay in response to this statement with reference to at least one short story you have studied.

There are thousand species of beetles in the world. The stag beetle is just one species out of the 1,200 types They are in the kingdome of anamilia, anamilia is a kingdome of animals that can independently move when ever need or want to. The stag beetle’s scientific name is is the lucans capreolus. Both male and female stags are found in rotten wood and or underground in Western Europe, including Britton.Female stung beetles like soft soil to lay eggs into. Males are noticed by their large mandibles. These mandibles are used for courting, Also the body sizing of 35mm and 75mm is bigger than a female. Females do have mandibles, but they much smaller compared to male mandibles and there are about 30mm to 50mm in length. Both male and female

Imagine living in constant fear and not knowing what will happen next. Mawi was one of those children until he got the chance of a lifetime. In the memoir Of beetles and angels By Mawi Asgedom, Mawi had the chance to change his life, but if he took it, it would mean leaving his house and friends back home. Does he take it, or will he leave it and proceed to live a life in fear? On this journey you will see the hardships him and his family go through as being refugee’s. Through coming to the united states Mawi loses his bond with his homeland and people but gains hope and a new chance, which motivates him to treat people kindly, and live differently also to try his best to succeed in the life he was given.

The mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae) is a native insect of North America that induces pine tree mortality from bark boring infestation. On average, the MPB lives for one year with four stages of development (egg, larva, pupa and adult). The MPB remains burrowed within a host pine tree throughout all four stages of its life except in the late fall when the mature beetles leave a brood tree in search of a new reproduction site. When a MPB finds an optimal tree for infestation, pheromones are released which attract a swarm of adult beetles. After successfully burrowing into the Pine bark, egg galleries are created for the 75 eggs each female will lay, and these eggs develop into larvae that feed on the host tree's phloem.

Forests are carbon sinks, they absorb carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and store it in plant biomass and soils belowground. When the trees die, they stop absorbing and storing carbon dioxide, and as they decompose, they release some of the stored carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere (Suzuki & Moola, 2008). The mountain pine beetle (Aendroctonus ponderosae) is a primary agent of forest disturbance, a higher number of outbreaks occur due to favorable forest age and climate patterns (Progar et al., 2014). The mountain pine beetle (MPB) starts its attack when the female finds a pine tree (usually lodgepole) that is at least 80 years old. Upon finding the tree the female bores into it, while releasing a pheromone that attracts the male beetles. When the males arrive they, also release more pheromones to attract more females. The tree tries to defend its self by secreting a toxic resin. But the beetles carry spores of a blue-stain fungus in their mouths which they release as they bore into the tree, the fungus prevents the tree from transporting nutrients and water. The beetles lay eggs under the tree’s bark, and when the larvae hatch, they feed on the blue fungus until they are mature enough to leave the now dead tree (Aukema et al., 2006).

The beetle's were on a band that was from Liverpool, England during the 1960's and brought a new stlye to music. . The beetles music style consisted of a mix of pop and rock. was a pop, rock sound. The beetles popularity grew quite quickly and soon they were know world wide both on the radio and on television. They grew popular very quick and became in very high demand. The band consisted of John lennon who was the lead singer paul mccrtney,ringo star,George harrioson,and Stuart sutcliffe. The band had a very significance role in society when they were still singing and touring. John lenon wrote a song called “revolution” that in my opinion represents the current time period. was a song that represents the time period. To sum the song

Over the last few decades in North America an insect has wreaked havoc on the coniferous trees that inhabit the Rocky Mountains. The insect known as the Mountain Pine Bark Beetle, or Dendroctonus ponderosae although once an important part of the cycle of life in the pines of the Rocky Mountains has recently grown out of control. Because of the beetles need to live inside of trees, they have adapted the ability to fight against the trees defenses, but in doing so have endangered the trees by cutting off their source of moisture throughout the tree. The Mountain pine beetle has an interesting physiology that allows it to burrow into trees. This causes many

Mountain-pine beetles have drastically changed the environment they are living in; due to this, areas such as industry, recreation, and the ecosystem have been impacted. For the last few decades the mountain- pine beetle has become a huge problem in the Rocky Mountains, stretching all the way from New Mexico all the way to central Canada. More than 60 million acres of forest have been infected, which has resulted in about 60% of the mature pines across North America to be killed (Rosner, 2013). Every day hundreds of trees are felled in an effort to clear out the beetles and to rid the forest of the unsightly dead trees. Entire forests have been reduced into nothing more than standing grave yards that mark a once great ecosystem. Forest Service officials are struggling to come up with a solution to this epidemic but find their options limited due to legal framework, public opinion, and just options in general.

Forty two percent trees on Toronto's streets are targets of the Asian longhorned beetle. The scientific name for the Asian longhorned beetle is the Anoplophora glabripennis. This beetle is native to China and other parts of Asia. The Asian longhorned beetles destroy our trees by making holes that go directly through them. There are many things we can do to prevent the Asian longhorned beetle from spreading. As you will read in this report, we can get rid of the Asian longhorned beetle, an insect that seriously threatens our forests and trees.

The world is a tough place to survive. If the creatures living on this massive planet cannot adapt in order to survive, extinction will eventually win out. There have been five mass extinctions, and many minor ones, throughout the history of the world. Of course, not all extinctions can be controlled, such as natural disaster and over hunting. However many extinctions, such as no defense against predation, lack of water conservation, no control of osmoregularity, and the inability to adapt to a new environment, can be avoided through natural selection. There is one creature in particular that has mastered the art of surviving against predation:

The Hercules Beetle, which is native to South America, is one of the largest species of beetle in the world. The Hercules Beetle spends most of its life on the ground of the leaf covered rainforests and tropical jungles searching for food. The leafs covering the ground also help hide the beetle from predators. The Hercules Beetle is an omnivore, which means it eats both plants and animals. One of the most distinctive things about the Hercules Beetle are its pincers that look like horns, which are mainly used against other male Hercules Beetles during disputes. The Hercules Beetle has a conservation status of “threatened” and its skin type is shell.

In 1993 Volkswagen had record low sales but by the end of 1997 the VW brand had sold 137,885 cars. That was an increase of 178% from it’s 1993 slump. It is safe to say that the the ’94 relaunch of VW on the American Market was a success. The “Drivers Wanted” campaign, developed by Arnold Communications, I believe was successful as a result of excellent market research and positioning.

Of Beetles and Angels by Mawi Asgedom is an autobiography about the journey of Mawi Asgedom. It begins in Asgedom’s hometown of Ethiopia, where he lived during the civil wars that were going on around him and his family. They moved to a Sudanese refugee camp, waiting to be be given a way to come to America. After three years of waiting, immigration offices finally let his family leave Sudan and go to Chicago, Illinois. Though they had just reached a land of opportunity and wealth, Asgedom and his family did not know how to speak English and struggled to make a living in their new home. They lived on welfare and help from programs such as World Relief to help them pay for things

For this role-play, my role was P. Smith, a representative for XYZ Chemical Company, an international firm that specializes in making pesticides. I am told by representatives of the company around the world that a break out of the Bogog Moth in eminent. This moth is a pest, which can eat through entire forests within days. It was previously thought that the Bogog moths were under control with them nearing extinction, however they have surfaced again and are a real threat to forests. The drawbacks of the forests being destroyed are that massive soil erosion will occur, as well as the loss of water resources. The only way to stop the outbreak of these Bogog moths is to spray them with a pesticide that is made only by the company that I work for (XYZ Chemical Company). One of the key ingredients used in this pesticide, is the egg shell of the Darwin fresh-water crocodile. These fresh-water crocodiles are a protected species and they lay their eggs

Originally described in Eastern North America by Carl Linnaeus in 1763, Dynastes tityus (Linn.) is a Beetle found throughout the southern and western United States (Lachaume, 1985). Similar to many other species of beetles, Carl Linnaeus was the original authority on the Eastern Hercules Beetle, having both been the first to collect the specimen and name it. Having been preserved by the Linnean Society of London, the original Scarabaeus tityus specimen, which was the name Linnaeus gave to D. tityus (Linn.), is available online (Linnean Society of London, n.d). D. tityus (Linn.) resides in the family Scarabaeidae in the order Coleoptera (University of Kentucky, 2008). D. tityus (Linn.) is known by the common
