MSNBC's Chris Jansing interviewed the celebrity biologist yesterday as part of a news story about spider silk. As the segment closed, Corwin told Jansing that the average person swallows 10 spiders while sleeping during the course of a year. When Jansing asked if that was really true, he said "Ask any wildlife biologist!" The University of Idaho calls this "total nonsense." The University of Washington says it has "no basis in fact." This urban legend was, in fact, started intentionally by someone who was trying to prove how gullible people can be. I guess Jeff Corwin is just really gullible. Not exactly a trait you'd expect from a scientist.

Extractions: 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.

Insects Insects insects are a class insecta , of arthropoda whose members are characterised by division into three parts: head thorax , and abdomen . They are the dominant group of animals on earth , several hundred thousand different kinds having been described. They have lived on earth for about 350 million years , as compared with less than 2 million for man . While insects are often commercially valuable and useful as scavengers , many species are harmful, causing enormous losses in agriculture and storage . Three orders hemiptera diptera , and siphonaptera , are of medical interest in that they cause disease in man and animal Please contribute to this project, if you have more information about this term feel free to edit this page ... the new genome structure requires a genome compatible mate, therefore surviving polyploidy species are less frequent but are still found in some insects , fishes, amphibians, reptiles and rat.[18] Paleopolyploidy is the scientific study of prehistoric polyploid speciation events.

Entomophagy - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
Entomophagy (from Greek ἔντομος ntomos, insect(ed) , and φᾰγεῖν phăgein, to eat , which together means insect eating ) is the practice of eating insects as food.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_insects

Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Eating insects Jump to: navigation search For the eating of insects by non-human species, see Insectivore Deep fried insects sold at food stall for human consumption in Bangkok Thailand Entomophagy (from [Greek éntomos , "insect(ed)", and phăgein , "to eat", which together means "insect eating") is the practice of eating insects as food. Entomophagy is found in taxonomic groups including insects that eat other insects, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals. The term also describes human insect-eating common in cultures in parts of the world including North Central and South America Africa Asia , the Middle East Australia and New Zealand , but uncommon and even taboo in some societies. Insects, nematodes and fungi that obtain their nutrition from insects are sometimes termed entomophagous , especially in the context of biological control applications. These may also be more specifically classified into predators parasites or parasitoids , while viruses bacteria and fungi that grow on or inside insects may also be termed "entomopathogenic".

Extractions: Under Construction This tree diagram shows the relationships between several groups of organisms. The root of the current tree connects the organisms featured in this tree to their containing group and the rest of the Tree of Life. The basal branching point in the tree represents the ancestor of the other groups in the tree. This ancestor diversified over time into several descendent subgroups, which are represented as internal nodes and terminal taxa to the right. You can click on the root to travel down the Tree of Life all the way to the root of all Life, and you can click on the names of descendent subgroups to travel up the Tree of Life all the way to individual species.

Extractions: INSECTS HOME BIOLOGY FILMS GEOGRAPHY ... SPORT When I was a lad, I was fascinated by Ants. All that organised activity and the mounds of earth moved when making a nest. Later, I discovered large wood ants in a forest near London. Then later still while on holiday in Italy, I found some jet black ants with big heads. Nelson Kruschandl - Watch insects working they are amazing machines As you can imagine, curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to keep a few ants to study them more closely. I collected a handful of wood ants (formica rufus), twigs and earth, put them in a large laboratory glass vacuum bowl and bingo, overnight they built a nest. The folks were not too pleased and my mates thought I was crazy, but what fun. Now, wood ants are quite dangerous. Their bite is deep, and worse, they either spray or inject you with formic acid - which really stings. (See the Ant page for more on this). Then when you look at other insects, you realise just how diversified and interesting they are. Some useful, most a nuisance.

http://42explore.com/insects.htm

Extractions: The Topic: Insects Easier - Insects are small creatures (animal kingdom) with three pair of legs, a body with three main sections, and tough shell-like outer covering. Insects do not have a backbone. Most have one or two pair of wings and a pair of antennae. Harder - Insects first appeared on earth at least 400 million years ago. Today, they live almost everywhere, from steamy tropical jungles to cold polar regions. Entomologists (scientists who study insects) estimate that the average number of insects for each square mile (2.6 square kilometers) of land equals the total number of people on the earth. Scientists have identified and named more than 11/2 million species of animals. Of these, about 1 million are insects. Entomologists discover from 7,000 to 10,000 new species of insects each year. Some believe there may be from 1 million to 10 million species still undiscovered. In the world of entomology, there are still vast frontiers of knowledge still to be discovered. All insects have three pairs of legs, a body divided into three main parts (head, thorax, and abdomen) and an exoskeleton. The insect's muscles are attached to the inside wall of the exoskeleton. The exoskeleton does not grow with an insect; therefore in time, the exoskeleton becomes too tight and must be shed in a process is called molting. Most adult insects have two large compound eyes, made up of separate, sometimes thousands of lenses. Insects are the only animals besides birds and bats to have wings. Most adult insects have two (flies) or four wings (wasps). Their sense of smell is located chiefly in the antennae. A few insects, like ants, bees, and wasps, also have taste organs on their antennae.

ADW: Insecta: Information
With around one million named species and perhaps several times that number unnamed, insects account for a great majority of the species of animals on earth.

Extractions: editLink('skunkworks/.accounts/200310302537') 2010/10/09 01:51:42.098 GMT-4 By Phil Myers Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta Members of this Class With around one million named species and perhaps several times that number unnamed, insects account for a great majority of the species of animals on earth. They are a tremendously successful group. Insects can be found in almost all terrestrial and freshwater habitats, from the driest deserts to freshwater ponds, from the canopy of a tropical rainforest (where their diversity is unbelievably great) to the arctic wastes. A few species are even marine. Their feeding habits are similarly varied; almost any substance that has nutritive value is eaten by some group of insects. Insects also show huge variety in shape and form. Almost the only condition their group does not attain is very large body size. A number of features, however, are shared by most kinds of living insects. In addition to the general characteristics of uniramians, these include a body composed of three tagmata, a head, thorax, and abodmen; a pair of relatively large compound eyes and usually three ocelli located on the head; a pair of antennae, also on the head; mouthparts consisting of a labrum, a pair of mandibles, a pair of maxillae, a labium, and a tonguelike hypopharynx; two pairs of wings, derived from outgrowths of the body wall (unlike any vertebrate wings); and three pairs of walking legs.
