Insects Described In 1837
Insects (from Latin ') are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. Their blood is not totally contained in vessels; some circulates in an open cavity known as the haemocoel. Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. The total number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million; In: potentially over 90% of the animal life forms on Earth are insects. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, which are dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans, which recent research has indicated insects are nested within. Nearly all insects hatch from eggs. Insect ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chrysidinae
The subfamily Chrysidinae contains those species that are most commonly recognized as cuckoo wasps, being by far the largest and most familiar subfamily. The group contains 3000 species with 48 genera worldwide. They are highly sculptured, with brilliantly metallic-colored bodies, covering the entire spectrum, but primarily blues and greens. Taxonomy and Range The subfamily Chrysidinae is divided into five tribes: Chrysidini, Elampini, Parnopini, Kimseyini, and Allocoeliini, the first two of which are abundant and widespread. Allocoeliini is found in South Africa and the Kimseyini has a single genus and species in Uzbekistan. Ecology Chrysidinae are the most diverse in desert regions of the world, as they are typically associated with solitary bee and wasp species, which are also the most diverse in such areas. They are very active in dry, warm, and open areas between the months of May and August. The adults consume flower nectar, while looking for nests for their eggs. Appear ...

Anthidium
''Anthidium'' is a genus of bees often called carder or potter bees, who use conifer resin, plant hairs, mud, or a mix of them to build nests. They are in the family Megachilidae which is cosmopolitan in distribution and made up of species that are mostly solitary bees with pollen-carrying scopa that are only located on the ventral surface of the abdomen. Other bee families have the pollen-carrying structures on the hind legs. Typically species of ''Anthidium'' feed their brood on pollen and nectar from plants. ''Anthidium florentinum'' is distinguished from most of its relatives by yellow or brick-red thoracic bands. They fly all summer and make the nests in holes in the ground, walls or trees, with hairs plucked from plants. Most ''Anthidium'' species are leaf-cutting bees who use conifer resin, plant hairs, earth, or a combination of these as material for the nest walls. Their abdominal bands are usually interrupted in the middle. There is no lobe (arolium) between their cla ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Osmia Ravouxi
Mason bee is a name now commonly used for species of bees in the genus ''Osmia'', of the family Megachilidae. Mason bees are named for their habit of using mud or other "masonry" products in constructing their nests, which are made in naturally occurring gaps such as between cracks in stones or other small dark cavities. When available, some species preferentially use hollow stems or holes in wood made by wood-boring insects. Species of the genus include the orchard mason bee '' O. lignaria'', the blueberry bee '' O. ribifloris'', the hornfaced bee '' O. cornifrons'', and the red mason bee '' O. bicornis''. The former two are native to the Americas, the third to eastern Asia, and the latter to the European continent, although ''O. lignaria'' and ''O. cornifrons'' have been moved from their native ranges for commercial purposes. Over 300 species are found across the Northern Hemisphere. Most occur in temperate habitats within the Palearctic and Nearctic zones, and are active from ...

Odynerus Reniformis
''Odynerus'' is a primarily Holarctic genus of potter wasps. The name of this genus has been widely used as a root to construct many other genus-level names for potter wasps with non-petiolated metasoma, such as ''Euodynerus'', ''Acarodynerus'', ''Stenodynerus'', '' Parodontodynerus'' and '' Incodynerus''. Species A partial species list of the hundreds of species classified under ''Odynerus'' is set out below: * '' Odynerus acuticarinatus'' (Cameron, 1909) * '' Odynerus acutocarinatus'' Cameron, 1909 * '' Odynerus areatus'' Fox, 1902 * ''Odynerus dorsonotatus'' Fox, 1902 * '' Odynerus eburneofasciatus'' Dusmet, 1903 * '' Odynerus ezechiae'' Schulthess, 1923 * '' Odynerus herbertii'' Fox, 1902 * '' Odynerus jeromensis'' Cameron, 1909 * '' Odynerus longicornus'' Fox, 1902 * '' Odynerus melanocephalus'' (Gmeling, 1790) * '' Odynerus pacator'' Giordani Soika, 1960 * '' Odynerus pallidus'' Zavattari, 1912 * '' Odynerus rufimaculus'' Fox, 1902 * '' Odynerus simillimus'' Morawitz, 1 ...

Odynerus Spinipes
''Odynerus spinipes'', the spiny mason wasp, is a species of potter wasp from western Europe. It is the type species of the genus '' Odynerus'', being first described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. Distribution ''Odynerus spinipes'' is found in northwestern Europe and Scandinavia as far north as central Sweden and south to the Alps and southern France, there is also a record from Kazakhstan. in Great Britain it is found as far north as southern Scotland but there are very few records from Ireland. It is now thought to be extirpated from in Scotland. Habitat ''Odynerus spinipes'' prefers open habitats and scrub, in Essex it has been mostly found in post industrial sites. Biology ''Odynerus spinipes'' adults mate soon after emergence and mating is followed by a search for nest sites which are then prepared and the cells provisioned with prey by the females. The prey is weevil larvae of the genus '' Hyperba'' (family Curculionidae). Th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ancistrocerus Trinauriae
''Ancistrocerus'' is a widely distributed genus of potter wasps present in many biogeographical regions of the world. They are nonpetiolate eumenine wasps with a transverse ridge at the bending summit of the first metasomal tergum and with a low and opaque propodeal lamella completely fused to the submarginal carina. The name of this genus (meaning "hooked horn" for the back-curved last segments of the antennae characteristic of males of this genus and most other potter wasp genera) has been widely used as root in the construction of many other genus-level names for potter wasps with a nonpetiolated metasoma and normally bearing a transverse ridge on the first metasomal tergum, such as '' Ancistroceroides'', ''Parancistrocerus'', '' Orancistrocerus'', '' Tachyancistrocerus, etc. Species There are currently 175 recognized species in the genus. * '' Ancistrocerus abditus'' * '' Ancistrocerus acanthopus'' * '' Ancistrocerus adenensis'' * ''Ancistrocerus adiabatus'' * '' Ancist ...
