    The forelegs are reduced in the Nymphalidae Diagram of an insect leg. The thorax, which develops from segments 2, 3, and 4 of the larva, consists of three invisibly divided segments, namely prothorax, metathorax, and mesothorax. [11] The organs of insect locomotion – the legs and wings – are borne on the thorax.

    Diagram of a typical insect leg. The typical and usual segments of the insect leg are divided into the coxa, one trochanter, the femur, the tibia, the tarsus, and the pretarsus. The coxa in its more symmetrical form, has the shape of a short cylinder or truncate cone, though commonly it is ovate and may be almost spherical.

  5. Morphology of Diptera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphology_of_Diptera

    Most of the larvae of Diptera live in an aquatic environment, in decaying organic substrates, and in other organisms (fungi, animals, plants). Their morphological structure therefore has a substantial simplification. The Diptera larva is apodous (with no legs), but sometimes, especially in aquatic larvae, has appendages similar to pseudopodia.

    Pieris rapae is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the whites-and-yellows family Pieridae.It is known in Europe as the small white, in North America as the cabbage white or cabbage butterfly, [note 1] on several continents as the small cabbage white, and in New Zealand as the white butterfly.

  7. Callosobruchus chinensis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callosobruchus_chinensis

    A. calandrae paralyze host larvae so that their own larvae can emerge and develop from the host seed. [12] If C. chinensis lay more than one egg on a single seed, A. calandrae are able to find seeds more efficiently, which suggests why C. chinensis may avoid laying multiple eggs in one seed. [9]

  8. Sarcophaga bullata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcophaga_bullata

    Sarcophagidae larvae are white or pale yellow, cylindrical, and tapered anteriorly. All segments beyond the first have anterior and posterior bands of hairs. The mandibles are usually strong and curved, resembling a hook. Posterior spiracles are sunken in, which is a characteristic that can be used to distinguish between flesh fly and blow fly ...

  9. Pimpla rufipes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimpla_rufipes

    The larvae and adult versions of Pimpla rufipes feed on different food. The main hosts of this parasitic wasp are the large white butterfly (Pieris brassicae) and the spongy moth (Lymantria dispar). [14] The larvae feed on the hosts that have been through parasitisation, one example of which is the tomato moth, Lacanobia oleracea. [13]
