Hemiptera In The 10th Edition Of Systema Naturae
In the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'', Carl Linnaeus classified the arthropods, including insects, arachnids and crustaceans, among his class "Insecta". True bugs and thrips were brought together under the name Hemiptera.

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné Blunt (2004), p. 171. (), was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was born in Råshult, the countryside of Småland, in southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he continued to collect an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Magicicada Septendecim
''Magicicada septendecim'', sometimes called the Pharaoh cicada or the 17-year locust, is native to Canada and the United States and is the largest and most northern species of Magicicada, periodical cicada with a 17-year lifecycle. Description Like other species included in ''Magicicada'', the insect's eyes and wing veins are reddish and its dorsal thorax is black. It is distinguished by broad orange stripes on its abdomen and a unique, high-pitched song said to resemble someone calling "weeeee-whoa" or "Pharaoh", features it shares with the newly discovered 13-year species ''Magicicada neotredecim''. Because of similarities between ''M. septendecim'' and the two closely related 13-year species ''M. neotredecim'' and ''Magicicada tredecim, M. tredecim'', the three species are often described together as "decim periodical cicadas." Life cycle Their median life cycle from egg to natural adult death is around seventeen years. However, their life cycle can range between thirteen ...

Tibicen Tibicen
''Neotibicen tibicen'', known generally as the swamp cicada or morning cicada, is a species of cicada in the family Cicadidae. It is widespread across much of the eastern and central United States and portions of southeastern Canada. There are two subspecies, ''N. tibicen tibicen'' and ''N. tibicen australis'', with the latter replacing subspecies ''tibicen'' in portions of Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Description ''N. tibicen'' is active particularly in the morning; hence its common name, the morning cicada. It is strictly ectothermic, and only becomes active in the morning after basking in the sun to raise its body temperature. The species' name was ''Tibicen chloromerus'', but in 2008 it was changed to ''Tibicen tibicen'' because the cicada was determined to have been described first under this specific epithet In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called nomenclature ("two-name naming system") or binary nomenclature, is a formal s ...

Cicada Orni
''Cicada orni'' is a species of cicada belonging to the family Cicadidae, subfamily Cicadinae and the genus ''Cicada (genus), Cicada''. The genus name comes directly from the Latin ''cicada'' meaning "buzzer", while the species name ''orni'' possibly comes from ''Fraxinus ornus'' (Manna Ash or South European Flowering Ash), where this cicada often lay its eggs deep in branches. Description The adults of ''Cicada orni'' reach approximately in length, with a wingspan of about . The cryptic coloration of the body varies from brown to gray. The abdomen has reddish segments and a silky pubescence. The head shows large and prominent eyes far apart on the sides, three small eyes (ocelli) located on the top, very short Antenna (biology), antennae and a long proboscis used for feeding on sap. The membranous front wings are transparent, with well-drawn veins and several characteristic black spots. Habit Adult cicadas can be encountered in summer feeding on sap from trees or shrubs, ...

Platypleura Stridula
''Platypleura'' is a genus of cicadas that occurs widely across Africa and southern Asia. Some of the South African species are remarkable for their endothermic thermoregulation that enables crepuscular signalling, an adaptation that reduces risk of predation and enables a greater range for their calls. In field experiments their maximum body temperature while calling at dusk, was measured at 22 °C above ambient temperature. The Platypleurini are distributed from the Cape in South Africa, throughout sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar, through India and south East Asia, to Japan. The faunas of West Africa and Madagascar are distinctive, while those of southern and east Africa resemble the Asian group. Endothermy occurs in several large-bodied South American and South African species, but not in related small-bodied species.
