So how does bed bug treatment work? Let’s take a look at the process:
Identification: Bed bugs are tiny vampires that suck on the blood of the sleeping at night. These critters are visible to the naked eye—they’re usually between 1/4th to
They assumed these bites were mosquito bites until the evening of July 15th when they searched the apartment for a source of the bites and found bedbugs in the cushions of the living room couch, pulled out a zip lock bag, took photographic evidence,…
These species are commonly known as pill bugs; they are terrestrial crustaceans that are oval shaped and a little flat. Pill bugs live in gardens, fields, forests or any region that is moist and are most likely found under rocks. The reason behind as to why isopods prefer a moist area is because they don’t have a good waterproofing cuticle wax, which causes them to dry out easily (“Critter Catalog," n.d., para. 8). Pill bugs are also known as “roly-polies” because of their ability to roll up into a ball.…

For this project I had observed the coolest bug balls on earth, the roly- poly. They are commonly known as the roly-poly, also pill bug, and wood lice. Its scientific name is Armadilidum vulgare. It is actually not an insect, it is an isopod ( a type of arthropod). It’s genus is Armadilidum, it’s Phylum is Arthopoda, and Subphylum is Crustacea. I have observed that the exoskeleton is a blue-gray, it is an invertebrate, it’s mouth, antennae and eyes are located on it’s head, and it rolls into a perfect sphere as defense when being disturbed or threatened. It has 2 pairs of antennae (one barely visible), it has 2 eyes, it has 7 pairs of jointed legs, and it’s about 3/8 inches long.…
The green stink bug is considered a pest to most people, but most people don’t know about it. The stink bug has a bright green color with narrow sides and can be spotted or striped. These marking can be black, yellow, white, or red. It has bilateral symmetry, where a line can be drawn down the middle and each side looks the same. From the tip of the head to the tail end, the size varies between 13mm-19mm and it has an oval like shape.…
Bed bugs are one of the most dreaded parasites in any house. They suck blood from humans and as well act as disease vectors. They've also been a sign of an unkempt setting or home.

Anytime they find somewhere to such blood, the next thing is reproduction and it will take just a short time before a whole home is full infested while using the bed bugs.

Contrary to their name, sowbugs (Porcellio laevis) are tiny crustaceans that live in moist environments around the world. These creatures, about 12.5 mm in length, are extremely unique in their physiology, habitat, diet, and behavior. Sowbugs are harmless to humans, but incredibly important to ecosystems. They are found easily in nature, and are quite hardy (Franklin, Julie A.) Though they use gill-like structures, called pseudo tracheae, to breathe, sowbugs cannot breathe underwater but are highly dependent on moisture for survival. Sowbugs can only live in habitats with high humidity and low exposure to light (Buddies, Science). Sowbugs prefer sheltered, humid areas as the sun’s bright light dries them out (Potter, Michael F).…
All animals try to adapt to the environment to survive. The real question is why do living organisms react to environmental factors? For example, a chameleon will change colors to hide from predators. Bears hibernate in the winter to conserve energy because of the food shortages. Likewise, pill bugs avoid light and try to make homes in dark, damp environments and eat decaying plant and animal matter. The reason pill bugs prefer dark and damp environments is because they behave negatively to phototaxis, which is the response to light, and have a partially positive behavior towards hydrotaxis, which is the response to moisture. The reason I say partial behavior is because they do not prefer to live in an all-dry habitat, but they also do not find large bodies of water an ideal habitat as well. In this specific scenario, the object of the…
