The adult moth is covered in long fur in colors ranging from dull orange to lemon yellow, with hairy legs and fuzzy black feet. [ citation needed ] The cocoons that these caterpillars emerge from vary in size from 1.3 to 2.0 centimeters and contain small hair pockets on the back and flattened front end, the latter covering the operculum at ...
Large antennae on a longhorn beetle. Antennae (sg.: antenna) (sometimes referred to as "feelers") are paired appendages used for sensing in arthropods. Antennae are connected to the first one or two segments of the arthropod head. They vary widely in form but are always made of one or more jointed segments.
The sole exception is the Brazilian Albardia furcata, the only living member of the subfamily Albardiinae, which has short antennae, but these are strongly clubbed (compared to myrmeleontids), and its wing venation is reticulate, typical of ascalaphids. Most owlflies are about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in length, not including antennae. [4]
Sialinae have a body length of less than 25 mm (1 inch), long filamentous antennae, and four large dark wings of which the anterior pair is slightly longer than the posterior. They lack ocelli and their fourth tarsal segment is dilated and deeply bilobed. Dead alderfly larvae are used as bait in fishing. [3]
Adult Stage [3] 3/4 to 1 and 1/4 inches long; dark brown to black long abdomen; red or orange thorax and legs; small down pointed head with short 10-segmented antennae; wings have dark spot on R1 (leading edge, 2/3 of the wing from body) feed mostly on liquids like water or nectar; Bibio femoratus gets its name from its bright red femurs.
Brachycera antenna Planthopper nymph (immature). Antenna displaying an arista. In insect anatomy, the arista is a simple or variously modified apical or subapical bristle, arising from the third antennal segment. It is the evolutionary remains of antennal segments, and may sometimes show signs of segmentation. These segments are called aristameres.
Megarhyssa male adults reach body lengths going from 2.3 to 3.8 cm (0.9 to 1.6 inches), while female adults can measure from 3.5 to 7.5 cm (1.5 to 3 inches). [3] Both sexes can be distinguished because females have an extremely slender, and long organ to lay eggs called the ovipositor.
Its body, eyes, and long clubbed antennae are black; the wings are bright yellow, spotted with black, the forewings being partly transparent near the wingtips. The abdomen ends with a pair of hooked claspers in the male, a short ovipositor in the female. At rest, adults often perch like dragonflies with their wings outspread.
