Webspinner
The order Embioptera, commonly known as webspinners or footspinners, are a small group of mostly tropical and subtropical insects, classified under the subclass Pterygota. The order has also been called Embiodea or Embiidina. More than 400 species in 11 families have been described, the oldest known fossils of the group being from the mid-Jurassic. Species are very similar in appearance, having long, flexible bodies, short legs, and only males having wings. Webspinners are gregarious, living subsocially in galleries of fine silk which they spin from glands on their forelegs. Members of these colonies are often related females and their offspring; adult males do not feed and die soon after mating. Males of some species have wings and are able to disperse, whereas the females remain near where they were hatched. Newly mated females may vacate the colony and found a new one nearby. Others may emerge to search for a new food source to which the galleries can be extended, but in g ...

Haploembia Tarsalis
''Haploembia tarsalis'' or the pink webspinner is a species of webspinner in the family Oligotomidae. It is originally from the Mediterranean, but was introduced to California before the 20th Century. ''H. tarsalis'' reproduces asexually through parthenogenesis Parthenogenesis (; from the Greek grc, παρθένος, translit=parthénos, lit=virgin, label=none + grc, γένεσις, translit=génesis, lit=creation, label=none) is a natural form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development ..., and only females are known. Adults are wingless, between 8-11 mm in length, and vary in color from pale orange to black. They live in silk tunnels that they spin in soil, leaf litter, and under stones and other debris.
