Operas like Puccini's Madam Butterfly and Rousel's Le Festin de L’Araignée similarly reference arthropods. [1] Pop groups named after insects include Buddy Holly and the Crickets, The Beatles, Adam and the Ants and many others. [2] Songs named after or inspired by the sounds of insects are listed below.
The sound is produced as the insect forcefully expels air out of their specialized respiratory spiracles (orifices), mainly those that are located on the insect fourth body segment (abdomen), [4] although spiracles are found, more or less, on all segments of their abdomen. The Madagascar hissing cockroach is the only member of their group of ...
The warmer a rattlesnake, the faster it vibrates its tail. [6] Rattlesnakes tail-vibrate faster than other snakes, with some individuals nearing or exceeding 90 rattles per second. [7] [8] This makes rattlesnake tail vibration one of the fastest sustained vertebrate movements—faster than the wingbeat of a hummingbird. The movement is possible ...
The common cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha), also colloquially known as the Maybug, [1] [a] Maybeetle, [3] or doodlebug, [4] is a species of scarab beetle belonging to the genus Melolontha.
The anatomical parts used to produce sound are quite varied: the most common system is that seen in grasshoppers and many other insects, where a hind leg scraper is rubbed against the adjacent forewing (in beetles and true bugs the forewings are hardened); in crickets and katydids a file on one wing is rubbed by a scraper on the other wing; in ...

Eggs are laid by the female with her saw-like ovipositor in slits cut into the cambium or live tissue of stems, though some species lay eggs on top of leaves or stems. The eggs may be parasitised by wasps, such as the tiny fairyflies (Mymaridae) and Trichogrammatidae. The females of some membracid species sit over their eggs to protect them ...
