News Flash A New Insect Order Is Discovered There is much excitement in the entomological world at the momement as a new order of insects has just been discovered. To find out more visit the National Geographic news page. There are well over 1 million different known species of insects in the world, and some experts estimate that there might be as many as 10 million. All these species are divided up into about 32 orders, depending on whose taxonomic system you use, of which, the largest is the Beetles, or Coleoptera, with 125 different families and around 500,000 species they are an incredibly diverse group of animals. In fact, one in every four animal species on this planet is a beetle. Well, everywhere on land anyway, very few insects have colonised the sea, though some like the Marine Flies ( Halobates sp .) and the Seashore Collembolan, Anurida maritma , live on the surface. Also the larva of a small number of True Flies (Diptera) and Beetles (Coleoptera) live beneath the surface, mostly in rockpools. On the land however there isn't anyhere you can go that you can't find some insects, even in the frozen extremes of Arctica and Antartica you will find some insects alive and active during the warmer months.

Lady beetles Both the adults and larvae prey on aphids, scale insects, mealybugs, and other soft-bodied insect pests. Adults are oval and orange or reddish with black markings. Praying mantids Adults are usually more than two inches long and either brown or green in color. They ambush their prey by waiting among the foliage. Their front legs are modified for grasping and holding their prey. Lacewings Assassin bugs These insects are generally brown or black, but can also be brightly colored with an elongated head and short, curved beak. They are usually found on foliage where they attack harmful insects, including caterpillars.

The last previous addition to the site stated, with the first four words in bright red, "Important Notice: May 9, 2003: Site Editor, Professor DeFoliart, regrets that because of health and other considerations, it will not be possible temporarily at least, for him to respond to questions from website visitors." The emails kept rolling in, however, most with one or more questions. One arrived, dated August 05, 2004, from an individual with initials "0 K", which said: "Hi: This is a good website, but the information about the ill professor should be removed." K" went on to suggest that if the health of the individual operating the site is bad, the site loses credibility. Item 1 describing my 80th birthday party will help explain that my problem is more one of starting to get a little on the older side rather than chronic illness from eating too many insects. I emailed "0 K", saying "thanks," and told him I would keep his suggestions in mind "if I ever do another revision of the site."

Familiar insects include bees, bugs, beetles, flies, ants, grasshoppers, and butterflies. The goliath beetle has white stripes and grows up to four inches long. An adult insect has six legs and a pair of feelers, or antennae. It has a jointed body divided into three segments: a head, a thorax, and an abdomen. Most insects have two pairs of membranous wings; some have one pair of wings; still others are wingless. Insects are very adaptable. They live in a variety of habitats, and are able to withstand extreme climates and harsh environments. Insects are found in the Arctic, in the tropics, on mountains, in deserts, in water, in the soil, and in or on plants and animals. Some are harmful agricultural pests while others carry diseases. Some insects are beneficial, pollinating flowers and crops.

10. Stick Insects As Pets An introduction to keeping stick insects for study and as pets. Includes housing, handling, food and breeding. http://www.earthlife.net/insects/sticks.html

The Care of Stick-Insects There are nearly 3 000 species of Stick-Insect (Phasmida) in the world all of which feed exclusively on vegetation, they are one of the most popular forms of insect life to be kept as pets. Housing In general the more common species of Stick-Insect can be kept together though if you are breeding more difficult species then it pays to use separate cages to create individual requirements. Temperature Most Sticks come from tropical or semi-tropical environments and are happiest between 75F and 80F, though the common Indian Stick-Insect Carausius morosus and some of its relatives are happy at normal home temperatures of between 60F and 75 F or 24C. Heating is best achieved by maintaining a whole room at the desired temperature, if this is not possible an electric light bulb can be used over small cages. It is important to make sure the Stick-Insects can not reach the light bulb as they will burn them selves on it. A red bulb should be used during the hours of darkness as this disturbs the Sticks far less. Cage Construction Because most Stick-Insects are long thin animals which hang down from their food plants to shed their skins it is most important that the cage have sufficient height, as a general rule it should be three times as high as the adult length of the Stick-Insects to be kept in it.

dartTag = 'general/home'; All About Insects The most diverse group of animals on the planet, insects are generally classified as any of numerous invertebrate animals that are a member of the phylum Arthropoda, and of the class Insecta. Modern insects range in size from less than a millimeter to over 18 centimeters in size. An insect�s adult body in characterized by three pairs of legs and a body segmented into a head, thorax, and abdomen, and usually two pairs of wings. Virtually all insects are born from an egg laid by their mother. Some of the most common and well known insect species include flies, crickets, mosquitoes, beetles, butterflies, and bees. There are approximately 5,000 dragonfly species, 2,000 praying mantis, 20,000 grasshopper, 170,000 butterfly and moth, 120,000 fly, 82,000 true bug, 350,000 beetle, and 110,000 bee and ant species that have been discovered to this date, for a total of more than 925,000 species. It is estimated that there could be as many as 15-30 million species of insects that have yet to be discovered by science. The scientific study of insects is also known as entomology.

Sex Determination in Honeybees Insects Insects are the dominant class of arthropods in every habitat but salt water (where crustaceans reign supreme). Over 950,000 currently living species have been identified, but the true number is surely much larger. As certain habitats are explored more thoroughly (notably the canopy of the tropical rain forest ), more than half the insect species found turn out to be new to science. The insects are classified into some two dozen orders on the basis of such differences as metamorphosis , wing structure, and mouth parts. This table lists 11 of the most prominent orders. Major Insect Orders Order Examples Orthoptera grasshoppers Hymenoptera bees Diptera flies and mosquitoes Lepidoptera butterflies Coleoptera beetles Homoptera cicadas Odonata dragonflies Hemiptera true bugs Siphonaptera fleas Anoplura lice Thysanura silverfish Isoptera termites The body of all insects is divided into 3 regions: head . It is made up of several segments containing mouth parts and a segment containing a pair of antennae. thorax , with three segments prothoracic segment. One pair of legs.

Insects have six legs; and most have wings. Insects were the first animals capable of flight. As they develop from eggs, insects undergo metamorphosis . Insects live all over the planet: almost all are terrestrial (live on land). Few insects live in the oceans or in very cold places, such as Antarctica . The most species live in tropical areas.

Insects by Christopher Baker Home Travel Costa Rica ... CR Handbook : One Article The long history of the rainforest has enabled countless butterflies, moths, ants, termites, wasps, bees, and other tropical insects to evolve in astounding profusion. There are many thousands of ant species alone. Corcovado National Park alone has at least 220 species of breeding butterflies, plus others that simply pass through. And there are so many species of beetles and grasshoppers that no one knows the true numbers. Many, many thousands of insect species still await identification. The most brilliantly painted insects are the butterflies and moths, some quite tiny and obscure, others true giants of the insect kingdom, dazzlingly crowned in gold and jewel-like colors. In Guanacaste, hundreds of species of bees, moth larvae, and tiger beetles make an appearance in the early dry season. When the first rains come, lightbulbs are often deluged with adult moths, beetles, and other insects newly emerged from their pupae. That's the time, too, that many species of butterfly migrate from the deciduous lowland forests to highland sites. Many insect species are too small to see. The hummingbird flower mite, for example, barely half a millimeter long, is so small it can hitch rides from flower to flower inside the nostrils of hummingbirds. Other insects you may detect by their sound. Male wood crickets, for example, produce a very loud noise by rubbing together the overlapping edges of their wing cases.

Half.com *Also starring: Patsy Kensit, Jeremy Kemp, Douglas Henshall, Annette Badland, Chris Larkin, Anna Massey, Saskia Wickham Reviewer Roundup Steve Rhodes review follows Pedro Sena read the review Review by Steve Rhodes 1 star out of 4 I think ANGELS AND INSECTS is supposed to be a morality tale, but it is so outlandish, it is comes off more as parody. If it were not so slow and somber, one might be tempted to laugh at it. ANGELS AND INSECTS tells about the lives of naturalists and is set in England in 1864. The movie's purpose is to show the strong linkage between humans and insects. In one of the more pedantic editing jobs (Belinda Haas) in recent memory, we have frequent cuts between the horrors of the insect world and that of the human. Although there are several memorable insects scenes, perhaps the most dramatic is the immolation scene of the moths in the ubiquitous candles that lit the rooms of that era. A close second is a scene straight out of THE BIRDS but with moths instead of birds attaching the helpless female.
