Introduction to arthropods Identification services for AES members Identification services for non-members Key to adult insects ... Glossary You are: Home Insects What bug is this? Face to face with the beetle Oedemera nobilis If you have found an unknown insect (or other invertebrate) and would like to identify it then the AES can help you. There are roughly one million described species of insect and experts estimate that there are probably another five million species that are yet to be identified. If you combine that total with the millions of species of invertebrate that are not insects (e.g. spiders, scorpions, centipedes, millipedes, ticks etc.) you'll realise that no one person can ever be an expert in any more than a relatively small area. With that in mind the society provides information and two different identification services, one is for members of the society and the other is for non-members. This section includes: Introduction to arthropods - what are the differences between insects, spiders, centipedes etc.

Home Entophiles Entophiles Hymenoptera membranous wing; Hymen = membrane, ptera = wings. Winged forms of ants, bees and wasps possess 2 pair of membranous wings. Beetles Coleoptera means sheath wings; coleo - sheath, ptera = wings. Beetles front pair of wings are modified to hardened casings, known as elytra, to protect the hind wings and body below. Lepidoptera means scale wings; lepido = scale, ptera = wings. Wings of butterflies and moths are often covered with a colorful mosaic of minute scales. Homoptera means uniform wings; homo = alike, ptera = wings. The front wings of these insects have a uniform textured appearance in contrast to their Cockroaches Cockroaches are fast-running insects often with wings. A few well know species have successfully evolved to exploit human dwellings and food supplies. Odonata means tooth. Apart from jet propulsion, the aquatic nymph often possess an extendable jaw capable of catching prey some distance away from the rest of the head. Flies Diptera means two wings; di = two, ptera = wings. Flies do very well with their single pair of fore wings. The hind pair are often reduced to a couple of knob-like balance organs. Orthoptera means straight wings; ortho = straight, ptera = wings. These insects often have a pair of elongated and thickened forewings and a membranous hind pair.

Remarkably in July 2009, another species, Cephrenes trichopepla , was also newly identified for the island. Read more. Sri Lanka is a tropical island that lies off the south eastern tip of India, just north of the equator. It is approximately 250 miles long by 150 miles wide. Though small, it has varied climatic and geographical zones. From the capital city of Colombo, within a distance of 70 miles as the crow flies, one goes from sea level to over 8000 feet. The changes in elevation, annual rainfall, and the underlying geology has given rise to a diversity of plant species and in different ecological zones The fauna and flora of Sri Lanka contain many endemic species as well as species that are closely related to those of the Indian sub-continent.

Insects may be found in nearly all environments on the planet, although only a small number of species occur in the oceans. The study of insects (from Latin insectus, meaning "cut into sections") is called entomology, from the Greek εντομον, also meaning "cut into sections".

Home Entophiles Hymenoptera membranous wing; Hymen = membrane, ptera = wings. Winged forms of ants, bees and wasps possess 2 pair of membranous wings. Thread-Waisted Wasp, Ammophila spp. Thread-waisted wasps are prolific caterpillar hunters. Paralyzed caterpillars are used as food for their young while they develop in sand burrows. Formicid Ant Scavengers Ants are important scavengers. They are responsible for recycling huge amounts of organic material from fallen fruit to this unfortunate butterfly. Formicid Ants Harvesting Ants have adapted to take advantage of many different food types. Formicid Ants Cephalotes spp. These large and robust Brazilian ants were found fastidiously inspecting and cleaning exposed root sections on the damp forest floor. Formicid Ants Big-Headed: Daceton spp. These rusty orange tropical Daceton ants made their nests in trees. Guards were posted at the entrance with large opened jaws warning against intrusion of any kind Giant Hunting Ants, Dinoponera grandis These giant hunting ants are a formidable sight with an even more formidable sting. Carpenter Ants Gnawing away at a decomposing log by the side of a tropical stream in Ecuador, these carpenter ants make their homes in excavated wood chambers.

Photo by USDA-ARS, Jack Dykinga. This publication provides information and resources on how to plan for, protect and create habitat for native bees in agricultural settings. Creating and preserving native bee habitat is a good risk management strategy for farmers of specialty crops such as almonds, apples, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, cranberries, pears, plums, squash, tomatoes and watermelons. Oil and biofuel crops requiring bee pollination include canola and sunflower. Even meat and dairy industries are dependent on bee pollination for the production of forage seed such as alfalfa and clover. In many cases, these native pollinators are, on a bee-for-bee basis, more efficient than honey bees.

The wings most often lack venation, though they may have slight fringes of setae There are two subfamilies, the Platygastrinae and the Sceliotrachelinae . The former subfamily includes some 40 genera, all of which are koinobionts on cecidomyiid flies ; the wasp oviposits in the host's egg or early instar larva, and the wasp larva completes development when the host reaches the prepupal or pupal stage. The latter subfamily is much smaller, including some 20 genera, and they typically have the rudiments of a vein in the forewings. They are generally idiobionts , attacking the eggs of either beetles or Hemiptera edit External links a citrus blackfly parasitoid,
