Tachytes
''Tachytes'' is a genus of predatory, solitary wasps, containing about 300 species. Etymology The name of the genus derives from the Greek ταχύτης (''tachytes''), meaning swiftness or speed. Distribution These wasps have a worldwide distribution throughout temperate and tropical regions. Description Adults are typically black, with light or clear wings, and sometimes a red or brown gaster or legs. They are about 12 mm long, but can range from 4 mm to 24 mm. Many species have green eyes, which is distinctive of the genus. They often possess short golden hairs and a round build, which can give them a bee-like appearance. Biology ''Tachytes'' generally predates on Orthoptera (grasshoppers and katydids, especially those of the families Acrididae, Tettigoniidae, Tetrigidae, and Tridactylidae), though ''Tachytes bidens'' reportedly predates on geometer moths. Like other hunting wasps, the female captures a prey item, stings to paralyze it, and seals it in a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tachytes Etruscus
''Tachytes etruscus'' is a predatory, solitary wasp belonging to the family Crabronidae. The species was first described by Pietro Rossi in 1790. Distribution This species is present in Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia and Spain. Description ''Tachytes etruscus'' can reach a length of in the female, and of in males. Its body is largely black, with silver stripes on the abdomen and brown to ferruginous wings, legs, mandibles and palpi. Biology Females of this species usually predate on grasshoppers. The females dig holes in the ground in which they build some cells. Then they capture a prey grasshopper, paralyze it with a sting, carry it inside the underground nest and seal it in the burrow along with an egg. The larva consumes the prey during development. Males apparently guard the entrance of the burrows with developing females, waiting for them to emerge. These wasps have a preference for flowers of ''Solidago virgaurea ...

Crabroninae
The subfamily Crabroninae ''(digger wasps)'' is the most diverse group in the wasp family Crabronidae, containing over 110 genera and 4,800 described species. The subfamily consists of solitary, predatory wasps. The adult females of many groups dig tunnels in the ground for nesting, but others use different techniques, including the construction of tube-like mud nests (e.g., ''Trypoxylon politum''). As with all other sphecoid The Spheciformes is a paraphyletic assemblage of insect families which collectively comprise the "sphecoid wasps". Larvae are carnivorous. These are all the members of the superfamily Apoidea The superfamily Apoidea is a major group within t ... wasps, the larvae are carnivorous; females hunt for prey on which to lay their eggs, supplying the larvae with paralyzed, living prey when they emerge.

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. Like their exteriors, the internal or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Insect
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. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
