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.…
This depletion of rainforests is a real thing, which if not sustained certainly will cause changes so drastic that the rainforests are virtually unrecoverable. As discussed earlier the deforestation of rainforests has the ability to cause, damaged oxygen cycle, no food or resources, no medicinal herbs or plants causing unknown disaster, and no more resources to build houses for out constantly growing population, this will have devastating effects on our eco-system.…

The Cuban amazon will eat fruit and seeds. The Cuban Amazon really like to eat the palm tree fruit. The Cuban Amazon threatened because of habitat loss, and they are captured for the pet trade. The orange-winged Amazon is found in parts of South America.…
My tropical rainforest insect is the goliath beetle.Goliath beetles are one of the heaviest insects in the world. In my 3 body paragraphs i will tell what it eats, when does it search for food, what are its predators and how does it avoid them. Its scientific name is Goliathus. Goliath beetles can be found in many of Africa's tropical forests.…

The diversity of plants and animals is critically important for the survival of the ecosystem in Madagascar. For example, the Aye-aye lemur feeds on insects that it finds by tapping on a tree with its long middle finger. Most other lemurs feed on either insect or fruit and plants as well. The Fossa is a nocturnal carnivore and feeds on everything from tiny reptiles to small animals, including chickens that come from nearby villages. The Tenrec feeds on insects just as the Aye-aye lemur. My last example is the Pill Millipede insect that eats decaying leaves and other dead plant materials.…

The Mt Keira rainforest is located in Wollongong, New South Wales in Australia. The Mt Keira rainforest is what we call a subtropical rainforest. There are four types of rainforest: Tropical, subtropical, warm-temperate and cool-temperate. Tropical rainforests have generally have a warmer climate than subtropical rainforests. Warm-temperate rainforest are slightly cooler than subtropical rainforests, and cool-temperate rainforests have very cool climates, i.e. Canada.…

The Amazonian Rainforest consists of an expansive 350 million square acres smack in the middle of Brazil and many other countries. It is the largest rainforest in the world and is home to hundreds of indigenous species of plants and animals. However Brazil’s developing status is endangering the rainforests existence. It is currently reported that 500,000 trees are cut down every hour, and the country is losing anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000 species a year. To many this is unacceptable and the amazon should be protected, others believe that operations should continue as is. In reality the Amazon Rainforest needs to be developed in a sustainable manner because the rainforest is home to many species and is detrimental to global health, Brazil…
You may be curious and your eyebrows are crossed right now, (I suppose) if termites are attracted to music. Well, yes, but let me explain further. I’ve done a little research and I hope I answered in a very scientific way.…
Nowadays, climate change is one of the most natural events that has occurred throughout the world. It has led to a strong effect on many animals, by becoming a main decision of the developments of speciation or a widespread extinction. In fact, many reptiles are highly susceptible to the changed temperatures due to their physiological features which need to respond the surrounding environment to remain equally the body temperature. Additionally, there are many kinds of snakes, lizards, crocodilians, and turtles classified as cold-blooded species. Currently, global predictions and statistics calculate regularly with different locations, it will be significant to research tropical species and several sites distinctly so as to reflect upon what…
Tropical rainforests are among the most mysterious of all geographical biomes in the world. A biome is an area with very distinctive plants and animals that have adapted to life in that particular environment. Rainforests have covered large portions of the Earth for millions of years, and can have trees that are 1,000 years-old or more. They are called rainforests because they are among the wettest areas on Earth, receiving anywhere from 80 to 100 inches of rain a year. In most rainforests, the temperature ranges from 70 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit all year long, and the air is almost always humid. Rainforests have four very distinct layers of trees. The first is the emergent layer which has giant trees growing from 100 to 240 feet tall. These trees have umbrella-shaped crowns that grow high above the rest of the forest. They have their own distinct plant and animal life. The next layer is called the canopy. These trees grow up to 130 feet tall, and they form a tight canopy, or covering, over the rest of the forest which allows very little sunlight to come down. The branches and trunks of these trees are covered with smaller plants and appear to be tied together with hundreds of vines. About 90% of all rainforest animals live way up high in the canopy. The third layer is the understory, and it's very shady. Only about 15% of the sunlight from the canopy falls, and it tends be very warm and humid. Trees and leafy plants that require little sun grow here, with the trees growing to about 60 ft. This layer has many smaller trees, shrubs, vines, and plants, but little air movement. There are many animals and insects living in this layer. The final layer of the rainforest is the forest floor. It is surprisingly dark and less than 2% of the sun's light reaches this area. Because the sun's rays don't shine on the ground, there is very little plant life on the forest…
