economically important wood-destroying organisms in the United States are Subterranean Termites (Reticulitermes flavipes). Termites feed on materials that contain cellulose‚ primarily dead wood and wood by-products. Subterranean termites are social insects that live in colonies that may contain hundreds of thousands of individuals. Each termite colony contains three forms or castes‚ which are the workers‚ soldiers‚ and reproductives (Picture # 1).These castes are physically distinct and perform different

of newly infected trees will be quantified and rationalized to determine the rate of infection. The same calculations should be done for the control groups to ensure consistency. The way the PSHB will be assayed is by physically counting each insect after euthanasia‚ and by measuring the lengths and depths of the galleries produced by the beetles in the infected trees. Other symptoms of PSHB attack include small pencil-tip sized holes in tree bark‚ wet spots‚ and frass [1]. The amount of

This because the requirement for identifying relatively rare susceptible hosts has important consequences for perpetuation of the insect. The selection of the host ends when adult manage to successfully The infestation of the host is regulated by a mix of pheromones produced by both the host and the SPB (Thatcher‚ 1981; ?????‚19??).

“is a classic example of what looks like intelligences pitted against instinct” (Petrunkevitch 59). The tarantula and the digger (pepsis) are both from the branch called arthropods. Even though the spider is an arachnid and the wasp is an insect they do have some similarities. For example for they are both solitude creatures‚ only when they have to mate they gather among others of their own kind in order for the males offspring are pass on.

An amazing life cycle of monarch butterflies shows the beauty and the perfection of nature. Some insects have a complete metamorphosis which is a changing in the insect body form through different stages. Monarch butterfly undergoes a perfect complete metamorphosis process: egg‚ larva‚ pupa and adult (Bernstein‚ 1990). The process of metamorphosis is guided by genes. There are three hormones produced from the genes. First‚ Brain hormone which makes a gland in the thorax gives the second hormone (Molting

Taxonomy Scientists use taxonomy to classify organisms and assign each organism a universally accepted name. They do this by using a Dichotomous Key to classify organisms‚ the binary nomenclature‚ DNA‚ and RNA. In the taxonomic nomenclature naming system‚ there are different levels called a taxon (taxa plural) or taxonomic category. The different levels to the taxonomic nomenclature naming system are called: Domain‚ Kingdom‚ Phylum‚ Class‚ Order‚ Family‚ Genus‚ and Species
