Earwig
Earwigs make up the insect order Dermaptera. With about 2,000 species in 12 families, they are one of the smaller insect orders. Earwigs have characteristic cerci, a pair of forcep-like pincers on their abdomen, and membranous wings folded underneath short, rarely used forewings, hence the scientific order name, "skin wings". Some groups are tiny parasites on mammals and lack the typical pincers. Earwigs are found on all continents except Antarctica. Earwigs are mostly nocturnal and often hide in small, moist crevices during the day, and are active at night, feeding on a wide variety of insects and plants. Damage to foliage, flowers, and various crops is commonly blamed on earwigs, especially the common earwig ''Forficula auricularia.'' Earwigs have five molts in the year before they become adults. Many earwig species display maternal care, which is uncommon among insects. Female earwigs may care for their eggs, and even after they have hatched as nymphs will continue to ...

Anisolabididae
Anisolabididae is a family of earwigs, in the suborder Forficulina and the order Dermaptera. It is one of nine families in the suborder Forficulina, and contains thirty-eight genera spread across thirteen subfamilies. Subfamilies The family contains the following subfamilies: * Anisolabidinae (contains 25 genera, cited by both Srivastava and Chen & Ma. Steinmann in 1986, 1989, 1990, and 1993 classified the genera under the subfamilies Carcinophorinae and Gonolabiinae, which are synonyms of Anisolabidinae. Other synonyms include Placolabidinae and Titanolabiinae. The genera in this subfamily are '' Aborolabis, Anisolabella, Anisolabis, Apolabis, Capralabis, Carcinophora, Epilabis, Epilandex, Euborellia, Flexiolabis, Foramenolabis, Gonolabis, Mongolabis, Placolabis, Gonolabina, Gonolabis, Heterolabis, Indolabis, Metalabis, Neolabis, Ornatolabis, Paraflexiolabis, Thekalabis, Titanolabis'', and '' Zacheria'') * Anophthalmolabiinae (contains one genus, '' Anop ...

Ostrinia Furnacalis
''Ostrinia furnacalis'' is a species of moth in the family Crambidae, the grass moths. It was described by Achille Guenée in 1854 and is known by the common name Asian corn borer since this species is found in Asia and feeds mainly on corn crop. The moth is found from China to Australia, including in Java, Sulawesi, the Philippines, Borneo, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Micronesia. The Asian corn borer is part of the species complex, ''Ostrinia'', in which members are difficult to distinguish based on appearance. Other ''Ostrinia'' such as '' O. orientalis'', '' O. scapulalis'', '' O. zealis'', and '' O. zaguliaevi'' can occur with ''O. furnacalis'', and the taxa can be hard to tell apart. This moth exhibits unique acoustic mimicry of a predator by mirroring the echolocation calls of bats in order to temporarily paralyze female moths and make it easier to mate. It is also well known as being an agricultural pest on several crops in the western Pacific region of Asia, esp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lepidoptera
Lepidoptera ( ) is an order (biology), order of insects that includes butterfly, butterflies and moths (both are called lepidopterans). About 180,000 species of the Lepidoptera are described, in 126 Family (biology), families and 46 Taxonomic rank, superfamilies, 10 percent of the total described species of living organisms. It is one of the most widespread and widely recognizable insect orders in the world. The Lepidoptera show many variations of the basic body structure that have evolved to gain advantages in lifestyle and distribution. Recent estimates suggest the order may have more species than earlier thought, and is among the four most wikt:speciose, speciose orders, along with the Hymenoptera, fly, Diptera, and beetle, Coleoptera. Lepidopteran species are characterized by more than three derived features. The most apparent is the presence of scale (anatomy), scales that cover the torso, bodies, wings, and a proboscis. The scales are modified, flattened "hairs", and give ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
