[5] The cockchafer develops via metamorphosis, in which the beetle undergoes stages of egg, larvae, pupae and adults. The mating behaviour is controlled by pheromones.
This research compared the genetic makeup of M. hippocastani to a different cockchafer beetle, the Melolontha melolontha. They demonstrated that both M. hippocastani and M. melolontha show considerable genetic diversity within subpopulations within sampling sites with minor effects of past bottlenecks possibly masked by current population sizes ...
Unfortunately, the harmful bugs are the ones we talk about the most. Think mosquitos, termites, ticks, bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas and others in the rogue’s gallery of bad bugs. Value of insects
