rivers‚ and lakes. Damselfly Nymphs usually live on plants‚ among small stones and leaves at the bottom of ponds or slow-flowing rivers. The Damselfly Nymph eats other small insects‚ and will sometimes even eat each other. Bigger bugs and some fish will eat Damselflies. The Damsalfly Nymph is very important. They keep the insect population in check. Many of the species prey on each other.

Ink releases the same pheromones that termites make within their bodies.

For example‚ once an agent is released and well established‚ insect population levels cycle proportionately with the population of the plant. that is when plant population levels are high‚ there will be a corresponding increase in the population levels of the biocontrol gents. when plant levels decrease‚ there is

Insect Collection Tanner Jones Honors Biology 1st period Page 1 American Oil Beetle The American Oil Beetle is a type of Blister Beetle. These beetles are referred to as oil beetles. They are called this because they release oily droplets of hemolymph when they feel threatened.

Ants are social insects that live in colonies being some of the most successful of insects. Ant colonies include one or more queens‚ workers‚ eggs‚ larvae and pupae. The worker ants maintain their developed structures known as "nests". Nests protect the ants against their enemies‚ some protection against extremes of weather‚ and are often placed close to water and food sources. Some ant species nest in the ground‚ many times under concrete or slabs. Some species will be found in wood such as fence

According to scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory‚ Mexico who have been working with honeybees since 1999‚ believe that bees can actually challenge dogs when it comes to sense of smell. The buzzing insects that seek out molecular hints of the pollen to make honey can easily detect other minute particles in the air‚ including traces of materials used to make bombs.
