Habroscelimorpha dorsalis dorsalis, commonly known as the Northeastern beach tiger beetle, is the largest subspecies of Habroscelimorpha dorsalis. [8] In 2012, the subgenus Habroscelimorpa was reclassified to the genus level [ 9 ] Fitting to its name, the Northeastern beach tiger beetle is found along the north-eastern coast of the US and ...
The northeastern beach tiger beetle is one of the physically larger subspecies of Cicindela dorsalis with a body length if roughly 12–17 millimetres (0.47–0.67 in). Its hardened forewings, also called elytra, acquire varying shades of white and tan. The northeastern beach tiger beetle has wings hidden under these elytra.
The beetles' glands store enough hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide to allow the beetle to release its chemical spray roughly 20 times. In some cases this is enough to kill a predator. [6] The main component of the beetle spray is 1,4-benzoquinone, an irritant to the eyes and the respiratory system of vertebrates.
Synthetic repellents tend to be more effective and/or longer lasting than "natural" repellents. [1] [2]For protection against ticks and mosquito bites, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends DEET, icaridin (picaridin, KBR 3023), oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE), para-menthane-diol (PMD), IR3535 and 2-undecanone with the caveat that higher percentages of the active ingredient ...
More than one stub template may be used, if necessary, though no more than four should be used on any article. Place a stub template at the very end of the article, after the "External links" section, any navigation templates, and the category tags. As usual, templates are added by including their name inside double braces, e.g. {{Beetle-stub}}.
A. dorsalis may refer to: Abacetus dorsalis, a ground beetle; Acanthotritus dorsalis, a longhorn beetle; Aelurosaurus dorsalis or Aeluroscalabotes dorsalis, synonyms of Aeluroscalabotes felinus, the cat gecko, a lizard found in Asia; Afrixalus dorsalis, the brown banana frog, found in Africa; Alabes dorsalis, the common shore eel, found in ...
The entry for Habroscelimorpha dorsalis dorsalis offers a detailed account of the beetle's taxonomy, distribution, and physical characteristics, notably its mimicry of fire ants for defense. However, it lacks essential information regarding various behavioral aspects such as social interactions, mating behavior, and parental care.
The authors found that on a cost-per-child-death-averted basis, all were about the same, but the ITN campaigns were slightly more cost effective. [ 9 ] With regard to the cost effectiveness of various pesticides vis-a-vis each other for IRS, historically DDT has been considered the most cost effective, mainly because it lasts longer than ...
