Ogyris Abrota
''Ogyris abrota'', the dark purple azure, is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It is found in Australia, from southern Queensland to south-eastern Australia. The wingspan is about 40 mm. The upper surface of the wings of the males is purple with black margins. Females are brown with a large cream patch on the forewings. The larvae feed on ''Amyema congener'', ''Dendrophthoe vitellina'', '' Muellerina celastroides'' and ''Muellerina eucalyptoides''. The larvae are pinkish brown with dark markings. They are attended by ants from the ''Crematogaster'', ''Rhytidoponera'' and ''Technomyrmex'' genera, as well as ''Linepithema humile The Argentine ant (''Linepithema humile''), formerly ''Iridomyrmex humilis'', is an ant native to northern Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and southern Brazil.

Amyema Congener
''Amyema congener'', commonly known as the variable mistletoe, is a species of flowering plant, an epiphytic hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae from eastern Australia. It is found on members of the genera ''Allocasuarina'', ''Acacia'' and some exotic species. Franz Sieber first described this species as ''Loranthus congener'' in 1829, before Philippe Édouard Léon Van Tieghem gave it its current binomial name in 1894. It grows as shrubby plant, with either an erect or pendant (drooping) habit, from a tree branch or trunk. It is attached to the host tree by a globular woody base. The stems and foliage are smooth. The thick leathery leaves are spear-shaped (lanceolate) to oval or obovate and measure in length and across. Flowers can be seen at any time of year. The diameter round fruit ripen over the summer (December to February), and the single seed within is contained in a sticky membrane. The principal host plant of the variable mistletoe is the black sheoak (' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Linepithema Humile
The Argentine ant (''Linepithema humile''), formerly ''Iridomyrmex humilis'', is an ant native to northern Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and southern Brazil. It is an invasive species that has been established in many Mediterranean climate areas, inadvertently introduced by humans to many places, including South Africa, New Zealand, Japan, Easter Island, Australia, Europe, Hawaii, and the continental United States. Description The worker ants are long and can easily squeeze through cracks and holes as small as in size. Queens are long, much smaller than other species of ants. These ants will set up quarters in the ground, in cracks in concrete walls, in spaces between boards and timbers, even among belongings in human dwellings. In natural areas, they generally nest shallowly in loose leaf litter or beneath small stones, due to their poor ability to dig deeper nests. However, if a deeper nesting ant species abandons their nest, Argentine ant colonies will readily take ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Technomyrmex
''Technomyrmex'' is a genus of ants in the subfamily Dolichoderinae. With 98 species, it is one of the largest and most diverse ant genera in the Dolichoderinae.

''Rhytidoponera'' is a large genus of ants in the subfamily Ectatomminae. The genus is known from Australia and Melanesia, with New Caledonia as the most eastern limit.

Crematogaster
''Crematogaster'' is an ecologically diverse genus of ants found worldwide, which are characterised by a distinctive heart-shaped gaster (abdomen), which gives them one of their common names, the Saint Valentine ant. Members of this genus are also known as cocktail ants because of their habit of raising their abdomens when alarmed. Most species are arboreal (tree-dwelling). These ants are sometimes known as acrobat ants. Acrobat ants acquire food largely through predation on other insects, such as wasps.Schatz, Bertrand, and Martine Hossaert-Mckey. "Interactions of the Ant Crematogaster Scutellaris with the Fig/fig Wasp Mutualism." Ecological Entomology 28.3 (2003): 359-68. Print. They use venom to stun their prey and a complex trail-laying process to lead comrades to food sources. Like most ants, ''Crematogaster'' species reproduce by partaking in nuptial flights, where the queen acquires the sperm used to fertilize every egg throughout her life.

Muellerina Eucalyptoides
''Muellerina eucalyptoides'', commonly known as creeping mistletoe, is a hemiparasitic aerial shrub in the family Loranthaceae. The species is endemic to Australia. Taxonomy '' Muellerina'' is a member of Santalales, the mistletoe order, placed within the family Loranthaceae. The name ''Muellerina'' was first published by Philippe Édouard Léon Van Tieghem in 1895, where one New Zealand species, ''Muellerina raoullii'', and two Australian species (''Muellerina celastroides'' and ''M. eucalyptifolia'' - now ''M. eucalyptoides'') are given. Further Australian ''Muellerina'' species are listed in van Tieghem. Another article by van Tieghem further discussing the relationships of Loranthaceae genera is van Tieghem. ''Muellerina eucalyptoides'' was first described as ''Loranthus eucalyptoides'' by de Candolle in 1830, and revised in 1962 to ''Muellerina eucalyptoides'' by Barlow Description ''M. eucalyptoides'' is pendulous in habit, unlike other ''Muellerina'' species, but ha ...

Muellerina Celastroides
''Muellerina celastroides'', common names Banksia mistletoe and coast mistletoe, is a hemiparasitic arial shrub in the family Loranthaceae. The species is endemic to New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. Description ''Muellerina celastroides'' is an erect or spreading plant which is smooth except for the inflorescence axis which is covered with minute, brown, densely matted woolly hairs.

Dendrophthoe Vitellina
''Dendrophthoe vitellina'', commonly known as long-flowered- or apostle mistletoe, is a hemiparasitic plant of the mistletoe family Loranthaceae. The genus ''Dendrophthoe'' comprises about 31 species spread across tropical Africa, Asia, and Australia. Despite being collected by Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander in 1788, and depicted in ''Banks' Florilegium'', it was not until 1860 that it was described by Ferdinand von Mueller as ''Loranthus vitellinus'' after being collected near Ipswich, and renamed by Philippe Édouard Léon Van Tieghem in 1895. Description It grows as shrubby plant, with either a spreading or pendent (drooping) habit, from a tree branch or trunk. It has external roots, and hairy new growth maturing to smooth branches and foliage. The leaves are spear- or oval-shaped with a blunt apex, and measure long and wide. The inflorescences are composed of 5 to 20 smaller flowers. The flowers are generally yellow or orange with red tips, though some northern population ...

Wingspan
The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan of , the official record for a living bird. The term wingspan, more technically extent, is also used for other winged animals such as pterosaurs, bats, insects, etc., and other aircraft such as ornithopters. In humans, the term wingspan also refers to the arm span, which is distance between the length from one end of an individual's arms (measured at the fingertips) to the other when raised parallel to the ground at shoulder height at a 90º angle. Former professional basketball player Manute Bol stood at and owned one of the largest wingspans at . Wingspan of aircraft The wingspan of an aircraft is always measured in a straight line, from wingtip to wingtip, independently of wing shape or sweep. Implications for aircraft design and anima ...

Arthropod
Arthropods (, (gen. ποδός)) are invertebrate animals with an exoskeleton, a Segmentation (biology), segmented body, and paired jointed appendages. Arthropods form the phylum Arthropoda. They are distinguished by their jointed limbs and Arthropod cuticle, cuticle made of chitin, often Mineralization (biology), mineralised with calcium carbonate. The arthropod body plan consists of segments, each with a pair of appendages. Arthropods are bilaterally symmetrical and their body possesses an exoskeleton, external skeleton. In order to keep growing, they must go through stages of moulting, a process by which they shed their exoskeleton to reveal a new one. Some species have wings. They are an extremely diverse group, with up to 10 million species. The haemocoel, an arthropod's internal cavity, through which its haemolymph – analogue of blood – circulates, accommodates its interior Organ (anatomy), organs; it has an open circulatory system.
