The Moths Essay

The cactus moths as an adult are very dull with their brownish gray color. You can only tell the difference between this moth and many others that look like it by microscopic examination of the male genitalia. Its native species only differ from it having a more plumose antenna. The mature larva are red or orange with

Adapting to Survive Animals live in all kinds of different places around the world ranging from desert, rainforest, savannas, and tundra. Some of these areas aren’t best fit for some animals to live in, but they adapt, but what is adaption? Adaption is what helps the animals stay alive in the current surrounding and situation. Animal’s adaption can range from the shape of its mouth or beak, the thickness of its fur, or even the color of the animal itself. For example camels have adapted to survive

True flies are insects of the order Diptera (from the Greek di = two, and ptera = wings). The most obvious distinction from other orders of insects is that a typical fly possesses a pair of flight wings on the mesothorax and a pair of halteres, derived from the hind wings, on the metathorax. (Some species of flies are exceptional in that they are secondarily flightless.) The only other order of insects bearing two true, functional wings plus any form of halteres are the Strepsiptera, and in contrast

While reading her book by candlelight, Dillard noticed that moths kept flying into the candle and were either dying or burning their wings that “would stick to the first thing they touched-a pan, a lid, a spoon…” (6). The next morning, Dillard examined her cooking tools and found the wing residue from the moths of the previous night. She goes on with her day boils water, continues to read, and replaced candles. On another night, a moth flew in to the candle and stayed in the flame, while Dillard

antennae club is hooked backwards like a crochet hook while the typical butterflies have club-like tips to their antennae. They have stockier bodies and larger compound eyes, and they have stronger wing muscles in the plump thorax, resembling many moths than the other two butterfly lineages, which are Rhopalocera and Papilionoidea. Their wings are usually smaller than their bodies and when at rest they are angled upwards or spread out and rarely folded up completely. Their wings are more well-rounded

Butterflies fill an important role in ecosystems. The order Lepidoptera, which includes moths as well as butterflies, when present in high numbers they indicate a healthy ecosystem with a wide range of invertebrates. They are a natural pest control and pollinator species, contributing to success of other invertebrates. As well as playing a role in food webs. There are 320 species present in Europe, at least 112 are endemic. There are four stages in the butterfly life cycle from egg (ovum), to caterpillar

the soldiers needed help. If I had the power to heal people or myself that’s what I would do. I also got to see the very old coins collections.     I got to see a very special thing which was butterflies and moths on the wall. There were probably about thousand of each butterfly and moths. They were made of metal it was very unique. There was another special room we got to go in which was called the flashing lights. It was amazing and gorgeous. It was blacked out and it was like a maze in the dark

Helen Keller once said that “The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight but no vision.” This illustrates how important it is to have a vision. Vision is something that will push us forward in achieving something we wish for. Without visions, we would have no motivation and spirit to pull through tough times. Douglas Stewart has been influenced by the Australian culture and society and it has given him insight of the Australian visions. In his poems, he explores the Australian

I really hate these stupid butterflies. I mean really. They pollinate. They eat dead things. There’s a bunch of them. Done and Done. Eueides Heliconiodes Sigh. So this butterfly travels in groups, I’ve never seen it alone. Their lurid markings mesh with the flowers and create an overall serene atmosphere. They’re pretty. Really, really, really pretty. Pretty boring. I’m only here because “Physicists don’t dress well, Martha!” or “Girls can’t do math, Martha!” or, and this is the worst, “A physicists

Learning Lessons Through Death In the short story, “The Moths”, the narrator, a fourteen year old girl, assumes the responsibility of taking care of her cancerous and dying Abuelita. Her Abuelita is the only person who understands the narrator and the only person she feels she can turn to. After having followed man’s rules for so many years, Abuelita passes away. All the moths that lived inside her are freed and the narrator learns some life lessons. Helena Maria Viramontes uses symbolism and setting
