In American folklore, the snallygaster is a bird-reptile chimera originating in the superstitions of early German immigrants later combined with sensationalistic newspaper reports of the monster.
The head and thorax is a dark brown colour while the gaster, legs and antennae are a milky white colour. [3] [2] Due to its small size and light colour, the ghost ant is difficult to see. [4] Ghost ants are monomorphic and the thorax is spineless. [3] The gaster is hairless, and has a back opening that is similar to a slit-like opening. [4]
Gasteracantha cancriformis [2] (spinybacked orbweaver) is a species of orb-weaver spider (family Araneidae). It is widely distributed in the New World. [1]The genus name Gasteracantha derives from the Greek words γαστήρ (gaster, "belly") and ἄκανθα (acantha, "thorn"), while the specific epithet cancriformis derives from the Latin words cancer ("crab") and forma ("shape, form ...
Gizzard of a chicken. The gizzard, also referred to as the ventriculus, gastric mill, and gigerium, is an organ found in the digestive tract of some animals, including archosaurs (birds and other dinosaurs, crocodiles, alligators, pterosaurs), earthworms, some gastropods, some fish, and some crustaceans.
The gaster is the bulbous posterior portion of the metasoma found in hymenopterans of the suborder Apocrita (bees, wasps and ants). This begins with abdominal segment III on most ants, but some make a constricted postpetiole out of segment III, in which case the gaster begins with abdominal segment IV.
The plump portion of the abdomen posterior to the petiole (and postpetiole in the Myrmicinae) is called the gaster. [ 3 ] The structure of the petiole is an easy way to visually classify ants, because the major subfamilies of Formicidae have structural differences: some ants have two-segmented petioles, while others have a single-segmented petiole.
Dendrogaster is a genus of endoparasitic crustaceans belonging to the family Dendrogastridae. [1] Its habitat depth varies widely, ranging from the intertidal zone to approximately 2,500 m.
Rugae folds behind the anterior teeth in the hard palate of the mouth. In anatomy, rugae (sg.: ruga) are a series of ridges produced by folding of the wall of an organ. [1]In general, rugae are a biological feature found in many organisms, serving purposes such as increasing surface area, flexibility, or structural support.
