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.
They are small insects with a body that is up to 6.5 mm (0.26 in) long and 3 mm (0.12 in) broad, [1] and a leg span up to at least 15 mm (0.59 in). [2] They lack wings, have long antennae, short front legs used for catching prey (and, in the male, for holding the female during mating), long middle legs used for propulsion, and somewhat shorter ...
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 ]
The Phasmatodea (also known as Phasmida or Phasmatoptera) are an order of insects whose members are variously known as stick insects, stick bugs, walkingsticks, stick animals, or bug sticks. They are also occasionally referred to as Devil's darning needles , although this name is shared by both dragonflies and crane flies. [ 1 ]
The body is long and slender and the two pairs of long, membranous wings are prominently veined. Females have a large and sturdy ovipositor which is used to deposit eggs in some concealed location. They are holometabolous insects with a four-stage life cycle consisting of eggs, larvae, pupae and adults. In most species, the larvae develop under ...
