The Moths by Helena Maria Viramontes is a short story about a relationship between a teenage girl and her abuelita. Although, the title seems unfitting for a story about a loving relationship between family members the significance of the moths, in this story, has a much deeper meaning than one would think. Like many other aspects of the piece, the insects have a symbolic meaning in order to convey the author’s feelings during the time of her grandmother’s death.

Upon further examination of this narrative, the story presents symbolic attributes about the main characters personalities, descriptions, and religious imagery that tell the story about a cure for brokenness, a rebirth of hope, and coming of age.

Many improvements have been made on the tractor since the model John Froelich invented in 1892. The first tractor had three wheels and was clumsy to move. Eventually tractors would be made with four wheels which made them easier to drive and more stable when moving. The invention of the tractor would also lead to the invention of the Caterpillar or ‘crawler’ which worked much like the tractor except it used tracks instead of wheels. These machines proved especially useful in places like the California which had heavier soil. The invention of the tractor also lead to the invention of powered hydraulics to lift heavy machinery and the ‘power take-off’ allowing the tractor to be used more efficiently as a power source to other machines while the tractor was stationary or moving. These improvements and inventions have led to many types of machines which have made farming more efficient and

For many individuals, life may seem boring and pointless throughout most of their day. They might feel empty at times and question themselves who they really are. Although most of their time is spent doing tasks in their everyday lives, there are those interests in which they look forward to doing. These interests may range depending on the person.

Every year farmers’ crops are subject to droughts, floods, storms, and so much more. But one of the biggest problems that seem to be plaguing the agricultural industry, specifically the cabbage and lettuce industry, is pests. One pest in particular is the diamondback moth, and it has been wreaking havoc all over New York. However, all is not lost; there still will be cabbage and lettuce in the grocery store. The reason for this? Scientists have come up with an effective new way to manage the diamondback moth, and it isn’t reliant on pesticides. It uses genes. But, best of all, it won’t be one farmer paying for one treatment. It will be a universal movement, and this movement has the possibility to revolutionize the crucifer, or, in more simple terms, the cabbage and lettuce market.

The Peppered moth is an example of modern-day natural selections since due to the environmental changes that occurred in the nineteenth century, the black wing moths were more suited to the new environment changes. Due to this, the black wing trait became more common in succeeding generations while the white with black speckles trait became less and less common among the population. This is a clear example of natural selection or the survival of the fittest.

The objective of this research is to gain knowledge and disseminate information in regards to the cultural practices in honey bee husbandry and the management of small hive beetles. The small hive beetle is known to be an occasional pest species to African honey bees, but they are more of a threat to European honey bees. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential effects of commercial pollen dough substitutes on the survivability and reproductive success of the small hive beetle. This new information will aid beekeepers through the process of selecting diets that are impactful in stopping the spread of SHB in honey bee colonies.
