Dr. Hoffmann‚ who was awarded the Nobel Prize for "discoveries concerning the activation of innate immunity‚" is an especially fitting speaker for an entomology conference. He and his colleagues used insects‚ namely the fruit fly Drosophila‚ to decipher the potent antimicrobial defenses. Over many years‚ these studies

rivers around the Great Lakes area. She illustrated the differences associated with inflows and outflows of lakes and the various water chemistry between the two. She measured inflows and outflows of lakes by determining mercury levels present in insects within the same demographic locale‚ in comparison to that of the larvae‚ with Black flies. She talks about the background of this species and how they are plentiful and are easily found subjects to test and measure. For each specimen‚ the head‚ abdomen

Locusts‚ like most insects‚ have what entomologists refer to as a ventilatory system. Instead of using a circulatory system and hemoglobin like you and me‚ most insects directly vent every cell with the outside environment and exchange oxygen directly. Along an insects’ side‚ there are small holes called spiracles; these are the openings to the ventilatory system and there are usually two per segment: one on each side. The spiracles often have some sort of valve that allows the insect to close off its

Leaf Cutter Bees Leaf cutter bees‚ play a big part in the world. Not very many people know of their existence or what they actually do. They are very interesting little insects starting from there looks‚ actions‚ and how important their job is as a Leaf Cutter Bee. Leaf Cutter Bees; looks are very distinct. They are not like Honey Bees; they do not look like wasps or hornets. They almost resemble more of a beetle in a way. A beetle has a hard shell on their back and most beetles we think of

rootworm‚ Western corn rootworm‚ and Southern corn rootworm. They all have their own unique way to reproduce and affect the farmer’s crops. Northern corn rootworm has a unique life cycle. The female insects lay eggs in late August. Those eggs then hatch starting in May. After the egg hatches the insect is in what we call a larva stage. The larva for a Northern corn rootworm is a worm and feed on roots. That is why they are called rootworm. The damage to the roots can cause the plant tip over because
