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.
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 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.
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 ...
Fumigation is the treatment of a structure to kill pests such as wood-boring beetles by sealing it or surrounding it with an airtight cover such as a tent, and fogging with liquid insecticide for an extended period, typically of 24–72 hours. This is costly and inconvenient as the structure cannot be used during the treatment, but it targets ...
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 ...
