Xylopsocus Gibbicollis
''Xylopsocus gibbicollis'', common name "common auger beetle", is a species of beetle of the Family (biology), family Bostrichidae. Description Adults of ''X. gibbicollis'' are black or brown in colour. They are about 2 mm long and 1 mm wide. The "head" (actually the pronotum, which covers the head from above) is rounded. The end of the abdomen is flat, looking as if it has been sliced off. They can be mistaken for ''Xyleborus dispar'', the small fruit tree borer, but that species is smaller and less common in Vineyard, vineyards. According to the original description by William John Macleay (under the name ''Rhizopertha gibbicollis''), the body length is 1.5 lines (equivalent to about 3.2 mm). The body is short and oblong in shape, black in colour, subnitid (not strongly shiny) and covered in punctures. The thorax (presumably referring to the prothorax) is broader than long, very convex and rough-surfaced, with teeth in front and smooth behind. The Elytron, elytra are dark re ...

Animal
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the Kingdom (biology), biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals Heterotroph, consume organic material, Cellular respiration#Aerobic respiration, breathe oxygen, are Motility, able to move, can Sexual reproduction, reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of Cell (biology), cells, the blastula, during Embryogenesis, embryonic development. Over 1.5 million Extant taxon, living animal species have been Species description, described—of which around 1 million are Insecta, insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have Ecology, complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a Symmetry in biology#Bilate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
