[5] [6] Most species are closer to 5 cm (2 in) long, and some small species are under 1 cm (0.4 in) in head-plus-body length when mature. [7] Like that of spiders, the body plan of the Solifugae has two main tagmata: the prosoma, or cephalothorax, is the anterior tagma, and the 10-segmented abdomen, or opisthosoma, is the posterior tagma.

Hydrophilidae, also known colloquially as water scavenger beetles, is a family of beetles. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Aquatic hydrophilids are notable for their long maxillary palps, which are longer than their antennae . [ 3 ]
The mosquito life cycle consists of four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Eggs are laid on the water surface; they hatch into motile larvae that feed on aquatic algae and organic material. These larvae are important food sources for many freshwater animals, such as dragonfly nymphs, many fish, and some birds.
Dermatobia fly eggs have been shown to be vectored by over 40 species of mosquitoes and muscoid flies, as well as one species of tick [2] (However, the source for this is somewhat old, 2007, and slightly more recent literature seems to indicate they don't need a particular species of ticks, or at least makes no mention of them only being able ...
Thecosomata beat their wing-like parapodia to "fly" through the water. [8] [9] When descending to deeper water, they hold their wings up. They migrate vertically from day to night, so the community structure changes on a 24 hour cycle; during the day many organisms take refuge at water depths in excess of 100 m. [7]
This is the only place it lays eggs, and it can do so on many species of kelp and seaweed, [9] including species of Laminaria and Fucus. [10] A female fly lays up to five clutches of 80 eggs each. [11] The larvae feed upon the bacteria coating the dead kelp. [9] The life cycle is about 30 days long. [1] [11]
Females shortly after laying. The eggs take about 35 days to hatch, though it depends on temperature. [4] The life cycle take 3–4 weeks to complete in the common species Coboldia fuscipes and S. notata. The adult stage is generally quite short, usually 2-3 or 4–5 days. [4]
