Pseudacteon tricuspis was the first species of Pseudacteon fly successfully used as a biological control agent for the imported red fire ant in the US. [2] Imported red fire ant Solenopsis invicta was accidentally introduced into the United States in Alabama in the 1930s. Since then, its populated area has expanded across the country, including ...
A spectacular example of the latter is Ptilocnemus lemur, an Australian species in which the adult attacks and eats ants, but the nymph waits until the ant bites the feathery tufts on its hind legs, upon which it whips around and pierces the ant's head with its proboscis, and proceeds to feed.
But identifying common insect bites with pictures makes it a little easier. ... What they look like: Larger spider species, like wolf spiders, can be a little more aggressive and may bite people ...
What they look like: Often confused with mosquito bites, bed bug bites are small, red, puffy bumps that appear in lines or clusters, usually three or more. They can have distinct red marks at ...
The development of insect mouthparts from the primitive chewing mouthparts of a grasshopper in the center (A), to the lapping type (B) of a bee, the siphoning type (C) of a butterfly and the sucking type (D) of a female mosquito. Legend: a – antennae c – compound eye lb – labium lr – labrum md – mandibles
Intraspecific brood parasitism, where a female lays in a conspecific's nest, as illustrated by the goldeneye duck (Bucephala clangula), do not involve mimicry [88] The parasitic butterfly Phengaris rebeli parasitizes the ant species Myrmica schencki by releasing chemicals that fool the worker ants to believe that the caterpillar larvae are ant ...
O. unilateralis species exhibit morphological variations which are most certainly due to their wide geographic range, from Japan to the Americas. Moreover, it has been hypothesized that their morphological variations may also be a result of one fungus species maximizing its infection on one specific host ant species (host-specific infections).
