	Fannie Adelle Stebbins Fannie Adelle Stebbins (September 3, 1858July 1, 1949) was an American science teacher and naturalist. She spent most of her career working in Springfield, Massachusetts. Fannie Stebbins Memorial Wildlife Refuge, a protected area of the Connecticut River, is named in her honor. Biography Fannie Stebbins was born in Wilbraham, Massachusetts to George and Cynthia (Billings) Stebbins. Her father, a farmer, died when she was 15 years old. She had two brothers, one who became a patent attorney in Washington, D.C., and one who was a "chief bill clerk" in Springfield when he died in 1919. She went to school in Wilbraham and college at Westfield State Teachers College, graduating in 1880. She was a teacher in the Springfield, Massachusetts public schools for most of her career, ultimately serving as supervisor of nature study for the district. According to '' The Auk'', in 1888, "she was appointed a training teacher in science and nature study in the Springfield Normal Training Sc ...

picture info	Cecidomyiidae Cecidomyiidae is a family of flies known as gall midges or gall gnats. As the name implies, the larvae of most gall midges feed within plant tissue, creating abnormal plant growths called galls. Cecidomyiidae are very fragile small insects usually only in length; many are less than long. They are characterised by hairy wings, unusual in the order Diptera, and have long antennae. Some Cecidomyiids are also known for the strange phenomenon of paedogenesis in which the larval stage reproduces without maturing first. In some species, the daughter larvae consume the mother, while in others, reproduction occurs later on in the egg or pupa. More than 6,650 species and 830 genera are described worldwide, though this is certainly an underestimate of the actual diversity of this family. A DNA barcoding study published in 2016 estimated the fauna of Canada alone to be in excess of 16,000 species, hinting at a staggering global count of over 1 million cecidomyiid species that have yet ...

picture info	Cecidomyiinae The Cecidomyiinae are a subfamily of flies often called gall midges or gall gnats. This subfamily is best known for its members that induce galls on plants, but there are also many species that are fungivorous, parasitoids, or predacious as maggots.

picture info	Insects Described In 1910 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. Inse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
