  • Lesson 3 Life Cycles of Insects
    Praying Mantis 3A-1 Hi, boys and girls. It’s time to meet one of the most fascinating insects on the planet. That’s me. I’m a praying mantis, named for the way I hold my two front legs together as though I am praying. I might look like I am praying, but my incredibly fast front legs are designed to grab my food in the blink of an eye! Praying Mantis 3A-1 I’m here to talk to you about the life stages of insects—how insects develop from birth to adult. Many insects undergo a complete change in shape and appearance. I’m sure that you are already familiar with how a caterpillar changes into a butterfly. The name of the process in which a caterpillar changes, or morphs, into a butterfly is called metamorphosis. Life Cycle of a Butterfly 3A-2 Insects like the butterfly pass through four stages in their life cycles: egg, larva [LAR-vah], pupa, and adult. Each stage looks completely different from the next. The young never resemble, or look like, their parents and almost always eat something entirely different. Life Cycle of a Butterfly 3A-2 The female insect lays her eggs on a host plant. When the eggs hatch, the larvae [LAR-vee] that emerge look like worms. Different names are given to different insects in this worm- like stage, and for the butterfly, the larva state is called a caterpillar. Insect larvae: maggot, grub and caterpillar3A-3 Fly larvae are called maggots; beetle larvae are called grubs; and the larvae of butterflies and moths, as you just heard, are called caterpillars.

  • Wax, Wings, and Swarms: Insects and Their Products As Art Media
    Wax, Wings, and Swarms: Insects and their Products as Art Media Barrett Anthony Klein Pupating Lab Biology Department, University of Wisconsin—La Crosse, La Crosse, WI 54601 email: [email protected] When citing this paper, please use the following: Klein BA. Submitted. Wax, Wings, and Swarms: Insects and their Products as Art Media. Annu. Rev. Entom. DOI: 10.1146/annurev-ento-020821-060803 Keywords art, cochineal, cultural entomology, ethnoentomology, insect media art, silk 1 Abstract Every facet of human culture is in some way affected by our abundant, diverse insect neighbors. Our relationship with insects has been on display throughout the history of art, sometimes explicitly, but frequently in inconspicuous ways. This is because artists can depict insects overtly, but they can also allude to insects conceptually, or use insect products in a purely utilitarian manner. Insects themselves can serve as art media, and artists have explored or exploited insects for their products (silk, wax, honey, propolis, carmine, shellac, nest paper), body parts (e.g., wings), and whole bodies (dead, alive, individually, or as collectives). This review surveys insects and their products used as media in the visual arts, and considers the untapped potential for artistic exploration of media derived from insects. The history, value, and ethics of “insect media art” are topics relevant at a time when the natural world is at unprecedented risk. INTRODUCTION The value of studying cultural entomology and insect art No review of human culture would be complete without art, and no review of art would be complete without the inclusion of insects. Cultural entomology, a field of study formalized in 1980 (43), and ambitiously reviewed 35 years ago by Charles Hogue (44), clearly illustrates that artists have an inordinate fondness for insects.

  • Statecraft and Insect Oeconomies in the Global French Enlightenment (1670-1815)
    Statecraft and Insect Oeconomies in the Global French Enlightenment (1670-1815) Pierre-Etienne Stockland Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2017 Etienne Stockland All rights reserved ABSTRACT Statecraft and Insect Oeconomies in the Global French Enlightenment (1670-1815) Pierre-Etienne Stockland Naturalists, state administrators and farmers in France and its colonies developed a myriad set of techniques over the course of the long eighteenth century to manage the circulation of useful and harmful insects. The development of normative protocols for classifying, depicting and observing insects provided a set of common tools and techniques for identifying and tracking useful and harmful insects across great distances. Administrative techniques for containing the movement of harmful insects such as quarantine, grain processing and fumigation developed at the intersection of science and statecraft, through the collaborative efforts of diplomats, state administrators, naturalists and chemical practitioners. The introduction of insectivorous animals into French colonies besieged by harmful insects was envisioned as strategy for restoring providential balance within environments suffering from human-induced disequilibria. Naturalists, administrators, and agricultural improvers also collaborated in projects to maximize the production of useful substances secreted by insects, namely silk, dyes and medicines. A study of

  • Pehr Kalm's Description of the Periodical Cicada, Magicicada Septendecim L.1
    PEHR KALM'S DESCRIPTION OF THE PERIODICAL CICADA, MAGICICADA SEPTENDECIM L.1 From Kongl. Svenska Vetenskaps Academiens Handlingar, 17: 101-116, 1756. Trans- lated by Esther Louise Larsen (Mrs. K. E. Doak) of Crown Point, Ind.., and submitted for publication by Professor J. J. Davis, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind. INTRODUCTION In 1749, a heavy infestation of the periodical cicada occurred in Pennsylvania. Pehr Kalm, who was visiting there, described in detail the insect in its 18th century surroundings. His paper was published in Kongl. Svenska Vetenskaps Academiens, Handlingar, 17: 101-116, 1756, under the title "Beskrifning pa et slags Grashopper uti Norra America" (Description of a type of Grasshopper in North America). Because of the misleading title, it is doubtful that many scientists are aware of the existence of this early report on the periodical cicada. Kalm refers to the insect as a type of grasshopper, but he also says that it may well prove to be a cicada. The annual cicada, which Kalm and his contemporaries heard, was thought to be a vagrant periodical cicada. Although he was not clear on the taxonomy of the insect, his sharp observa- tions have given us an accurate account of the infestation. Among the many flying insects in North America there is a species of grass- hopper which seems to merit special discussion because of its extraordinary characteristics. The English refer to this species as locust, the Swedes, grashoppor. The Latin name may well be Cicada, maxilla utraque lineis octo transversis concavis; alarum margine inferiore lutescents. This cicada would seem to be exactly the same species as that found in the Provence and Languedoc in France, which is illustrated and described by Mr.

Summer weather brings out a variety of insects that you have probably heard before. You just have to know what to listen for to detect them by sound, so let’s start listening and learning! Let’s Meet the Musicians Grasshoppers, crickets, and katydids all belong to the same taxonomy order called Orthoptera. Insects in this order share a few common characteristics including modified and long hind legs meant for jumping, chewing mouth parts, and the ability to create a unique song by rubbing specific body parts together. The reason for these insects’ songs is an attempt to attract a mate. Grasshoppe r: The mid-day pick-me-up Cricket: The evening vocalist Katydid: The late-night star Grasshoppers are a daytime insect with short antennae. They eat mainly vegetations including grasses, and leaves, but they will also eat flowers, stems, and seeds. On occasion they will scavenge for dead insects as well. As their name suggests, if you are ever walking through grasslands or a meadow keep your eye out for the hopping creatures as they prefer to be tucked away in tall grasses. You may hear them before you see them. If you hear a noise that sounds like a gentle flickering it might be a grasshopper. They “sing” or make noise by rubbing their long legs against their wings. They can detect sound by their little ears that are located on the base of their abdomen.

Although female-biased 16 SSD predominates among insects, the proximate ecological and evolutionary factors promoting 17 this phenomenon remain largely unstudied. Here, we employ modern phylogenetic comparative 18 methods on 8 subfamilies of Iberian grasshoppers (85 species) to examine the validity of 19 different models of evolution of body size and SSD and explore how they are shaped by a suite 20 of ecological variables (habitat specialization, substrate use, altitude) and/or constrained by 21 different evolutionary pressures (female fecundity, strength of sexual selection, length of the 22 breeding season).
