Because the female does not feed during this time, she tries to fatten herself beforehand, and a species of 5 cm (2.0 in) has been observed to eat more than 100 flies during that time in the laboratory. [4] The Solifugae undergo a number of stages including, egg, postembryo, 9–10 nymphal instars, and adults. [20]
The larvae remain attached and develop for 10–12 months before they are passed out in the feces. Occasionally, horse owners report seeing botfly larvae in horse manure. These larvae are cylindrical and are reddish-orange. In one to two months, adult botflies emerge from the developing larvae and the cycle repeats itself. [8]
Metasolpuga is a genus of solifuge or sun spider. [1] The monotypic genus contains the species Metasolpuga picta which is native to Namibia. [2] It is one of several large, diurnal solifuge species that occur in the arid regions of southern Africa.

Water can be broken down into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen by metabolic or abiotic processes, and later recombined to become water again. While the water cycle is itself a biogeochemical cycle, flow of water over and beneath the Earth is a key component of the cycling of other biogeochemicals. [8]
Thecosomata beat their wing-like parapodia to "fly" through the water. [8] [9] When descending to deeper water, they hold their wings up. They migrate vertically from day to night, so the community structure changes on a 24 hour cycle; during the day many organisms take refuge at water depths in excess of 100 m. [7]

Dermatobia fly eggs have been shown to be vectored by over 40 species of mosquitoes and muscoid flies, as well as one species of tick [2] (However, the source for this is somewhat old, 2007, and slightly more recent literature seems to indicate they don't need a particular species of ticks, or at least makes no mention of them only being able ...
