Cold treatment cools the combs to -15 to -7 °C for 2-4.5 hours. [3] Chemical fumigants also destroy all stages of G. mellonella and are economically convenient. At present, only CO 2 is approved to treat infested colonies, because other chemicals leave residues that make their way into the honey produced and pose risks for the person treating ...

They are recommended for use as a treat rather than a staple food, due to their relative lack of nutrients when compared to crickets and mealworms. [2] Their high fat and food energy (caloric) density can also contribute to obesity in captive animals if they are fed waxworms too often, [3] especially in animals with a low metabolism, such as ...
The worm has a hydrostatic skeleton and moves by longitudinal and circular muscular contractions. Setae – tiny hair-like projections – provide leverage against the surrounding soil. Surface movements on moist, flat terrain were reported at a speed of 20 m/h and, based on measurements of the length of the trail, nocturnal activity away from ...
[2] Plant tissues are made up of resilient molecules (e.g. cellulose, lignin, xylan) that decay at a much lower rate than other organic molecules. The activity of detritivores is the reason why there is not an accumulation of plant litter in nature. [2] [3] Two Adonis blue butterflies lap at a small lump of feces lying on a rock.
Humans become infected after free-swimming cercaria liberated from infected snails penetrate the skin. These dioecious worms are long and thin, ranging in size from 10 to 30 mm in length to 0.2 to 1.0 mm in diameter. Adult males are shorter and thicker than females, and have a long groove along one side of the body in which the female is clasped.
The genus Enchytraeus includes about 40 species of annelid worms. The term white worm is often used for all of the species in general, but specifically it is E. albidus which is named the white worm. This species is used as fish food by aquarium enthusiasts. E. buchholzi is known as the Grindal worm.
[2] Vinegar eels are often given to fry (baby fish ) as a live food, like microworms .
