One day before going to work, I used a strong bleach solution with a good pinesol type product, and probably a detergent, almost undiluted, the smell was intoxicating. Males then use visual cues to find a common mating ground, for example, a landmark such as a pine tree to which other males in the area converge.

Ants appear in the fossil record across the globe in considerable diversity during the latest Early Cretaceous and early Late Cretaceous , suggesting an earlier origin. Then you can kill them with your slippers. Usually the largest workers in the colony develop into repletes; and, if repletes are removed from the colony, other workers become repletes, demonstrating the flexibility of this particular polymorphism.

  • A Second Contribution to the Biology of Ctenocolletes Bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Stenotritidae)
    Rec. West. AU8t. Mus. 1987. 13(2): 189-201 A second contribution to the biology of Ctenocolletes bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Stenotritidae) Terry F. Houston* Abstract Field observations of adult behaviour (particularly foraging and mating) and nests of five species of Ctenocolletes are presented and compared with earlier obser­ vations. All studied species are solitary and ground-nesting. Nests are unusual in lacking tumuli and those of C. albomarginatus and C. nicholsoni are remarkably deep (2.7-3.2 m). C. fulvescens is unusual in the genus in having a summer/autumn (rather than a winter/spring) flight season and in exhibiting matinal foraging in females and a bimodal flight pattern in males. Conjugate flight of mating pairs and territorial hovering and darting flights of males are recorded for additional ,species. Meloidae (Coleoptera) are confirmed as cleptoparasites in nests of C. nicholsoni and a Crassifoenus species (Hymen­ optera: Gasteruptiidae) is recorded from nests or nesting areas of four Ctenocolletes species. Introduction In a previous paper (Houston 1984), I recorded the first details of the bionomics of bees in the genus Ctenocolletes. Nests of only one species (C. ordensis Michener) were described and much of the information on adult behaviour was fragmentary, providing only a very incomplete picture of the bionomics of the genus as a whole. The observations presented here were made opportunistically during field work at various Western Australian localities in 1983-1985 and are similarly fragmentary. Nevertheless, they augment and significantly extend earlier ob­ servations. Examination of the nests of several species has revealed some sig­ nificant interspecific differences and discovery of the nests of C.

Ramin Agriculture and Natural Resources University, Mollasani, Ahvaz, Iran. 2. East-Azarbaijan Research Center for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Tabriz, Iran. Abstract: This is the first report of two ectoparasitoid wasps, Elachertus inunctus (Nees, 1834) in Iran and Elachertus pulcher (Erdös, 1961) (Hym.: Eulophidae) in the world, that parasitize larvae of the tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lep.: Gelechiidae). The specimens were collected from tomato fields and greenhouses in Ahwaz, Khouzestan province (south west of Iran). Both species are new records for fauna of Iran. The knowledge about these parasitoids is still scanty. The potential of these parasitoids for biological control of T. absoluta in tomato fields and greenhouses should be investigated.

  • Hymenoptera: Symphyta: Pamphiliidae, Siricidae, Cephidae) from the Okanagan Highlands, Western North America S
    1 New early Eocene Siricomorpha (Hymenoptera: Symphyta: Pamphiliidae, Siricidae, Cephidae) from the Okanagan Highlands, western North America S. Bruce Archibald,1 Alexandr P. Rasnitsyn Abstract—We describe three new genera and four new species (three named) of siricomorph sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) from the Ypresian (early Eocene) Okanagan Highlands: Pamphiliidae, Ulteramus republicensis new genus, new species from Republic, Washington, United States of America; Siricidae, Ypresiosirex orthosemos new genus, new species from McAbee, British Columbia, Canada; and Cephidae, Cuspilongus cachecreekensis new genus, new species from McAbee and another cephid treated as Cephinae species A from Horsefly River, British Columbia, Canada. These are the only currently established occurrences of any siricomorph family in the Ypresian. We treat the undescribed new siricoid from the Cretaceous Crato Formation of Brazil as belonging to the Pseudosiricidae, not Siricidae, and agree with various authors that the Ypresian Megapterites mirabilis Cockerell is an ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). The Miocene species Cephites oeningensis Heer and C. fragilis Heer, assigned to the Cephidae over a century and a half ago, are also ants. Many of the host plants that siricomporphs feed upon today first appeared in the Eocene, a number of these in the Okanagan Highlands in particular. The Okanagan Highlands sites where these wasps were found also had upper microthermal mean annual temperatures as are overwhelmingly preferred by most modern siricomorphs, but were uncommon

Due to the sheer magnitude of the species, it's not surprising to learn that there's great diversity within the order of Coleoptera, from the pincer-like mandibles of stag beetles to the gem-like hardened forewings, called elytras, of jewel beetles. Let's start our brief crash course into the most remarkable Coleopteras with a look at one of the most well-known and adorable beetle species: the ladybird beetle. Commonly known as ladybugsthese small, polka-dotted beauties are natural pest controllers — they love to feast on aphids and other insects that threaten gardens, orchards and crops. Despite the vital role they play in agriculture, sometimes ladybirds can seem like pests themselves. During the winter months, these otherwise solitary beetles can be found cozying up to each other in massive clumps called "aggregations. Ladybirds don't carry diseases, nor do they damage structures or lay eggs indoors. Also known as doodlebugs or maybugs, cockchafers belong to the genus Melolontha and are easily identified by the distinctive "leaves" protruding from their antennae. These flamboyantly coiffed beetles once existed in great numbers throughout Europe, and their voracious appetites made them a common agricultural nuisance.

  • Wikipedia Beetles Dung Beetles Are Beetles That Feed on Feces
    Wikipedia beetles Dung beetles are beetles that feed on feces. Some species of dung beetles can bury dung times their own mass in one night. Many dung beetles, known as rollers , roll dung into round balls, which are used as a food source or breeding chambers. Others, known as tunnelers , bury the dung wherever they find it. A third group, the dwellers , neither roll nor burrow: they simply live in manure. They are often attracted by the dung collected by burrowing owls. There are dung beetle species of different colours and sizes, and some functional traits such as body mass or biomass and leg length can have high levels of variability. All the species belong to the superfamily Scarabaeoidea , most of them to the subfamilies Scarabaeinae and Aphodiinae of the family Scarabaeidae scarab beetles. As most species of Scarabaeinae feed exclusively on feces, that subfamily is often dubbed true dung beetles. There are dung-feeding beetles which belong to other families, such as the Geotrupidae the earth-boring dung beetle. The Scarabaeinae alone comprises more than 5, species. The nocturnal African dung beetle Scarabaeus satyrus is one of the few known non-vertebrate animals that navigate and orient themselves using the Milky Way. Dung beetles are not a single taxonomic group; dung feeding is found in a number of families of beetles, so the behaviour cannot be assumed to have evolved only once. Dung beetles live in many habitats , including desert, grasslands and savannas , [9] farmlands , and native and planted forests. They are found on all continents except Antarctica. They eat the dung of herbivores and omnivores , and prefer that produced by the latter.
