Fairyflies are very tiny insects, like most chalcidoid wasps, mostly ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 mm (0.020 to 0.039 in) long. They include the world's smallest known insect , with a body length of only 0.139 mm (0.0055 in), and the smallest known flying insect , only 0.15 mm (0.0059 in) long.
The antennae are approximately 2 cm long. Head close-up magnified. House centipedes feed on spiders, bed bugs, termites, cockroaches, silverfish, ants, and other household arthropods. They administer venom through forcipules. These are not part of their mandibles, so strictly speaking they sting rather than bite.
Cecidomyiidae are very fragile small insects usually only 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) in length; many are less than 1 mm (0.039 in) long. They are characterised by hairy wings, unusual in the order Diptera , and have long antennae .
The antennae are fairly long and threadlike, the mouthparts are reduced in size and the legs have five tarsi (lower leg joints). [19] Adults are nocturnal and are attracted to light. Some species are strong fliers and can disperse to new localities, [ 26 ] but many fly only weakly. [ 19 ]
One of the reasons cinnamon is so effective against bugs is because it contains an aromatic compound known as eugenol that's also found in most insect repellants. Eugenol is very powerful and ...
Sialinae have a body length of less than 25 mm (1 inch), long filamentous antennae, and four large dark wings of which the anterior pair is slightly longer than the posterior. They lack ocelli and their fourth tarsal segment is dilated and deeply bilobed. Dead alderfly larvae are used as bait in fishing. [3]
