Illinois Natural History Survey Insect Collection Insects, Arachnids, Myriapods, and Bryozoans The insect collection at the Survey now houses over 6,000,000 curated specimens. The growth and wide-ranging scope of this collection can be credited to the diverse interests of the systematists who have spent all or part of their career at the Survey. Scientists such as Stephen A. Forbes, the first Director of the State Laboratory and Chief of the Natural History Survey; Theodore Frison, who succeeded Forbes; and H. H. Ross, who directed the intense systematics studies of the faunistic section for 40 years, placed considerable emphasis on enlarging the insect collection. These insects document the changing landscape and environmental conditions of the world. The INHS insect collection is one of the largest in North America. The most recent size estimate was done in 1992. The heavy concentration of specimens from the last third of the 1800s also makes this one of North America's oldest insect and related arthropod collections. The INHS Insect Collection includes more than 13,000 primary types (syntypes inclusive). Because of size, historical holdings, and wide breadth of coverage in certain groups, the collection is an important national and worldwide resource.

48. Singing Insects Of North America Includes complete systematic checklists of the crickets and katydids of America north of Mexico, family descriptions, images, sounds, and identification http://buzz.ifas.ufl.edu/

Singing Insects of North America by Thomas J. Walker (crickets and katydids) and Thomas E. Moore (cicadas) Search this site The primary goal of this Web site is to enable users to identify crickets, katydids, and cicadas from America north of Mexico. The males of most species in these groups make loud, persistent calls that attract sexually ready, conspecific females. Because the songs are loud and species specific they are usually an easy means of identifying the caller. They also facilitate field and laboratory studies of many sorts. Secondary goals are to attract amateur and professional biologists to the study of singing insects and to provide helpful information and access to literature. New book: The Songs of Insects , by Lang Elliott and Wil Hershberger, 2006. This beautiful, affordable book features 75 commonly heard North American species, comes with a CD of the songs, and has its own web site . To see and hear any of the species, go to the site's Online Guide: Master Species List and click on the name of a species.

49. California's Endangered Insects In addition to over 30000 species of insects, California boasts 563 birds, 96 reptiles, 190 mammals and well over 5000 species of plants. http://essig.berkeley.edu/endins/endins.htm

C alifornia is home to an incredibly diverse biota. In addition to over 30,000 species of insects, California boasts 563 birds, 96 reptiles, 190 mammals and well over 5000 species of plants. And the numbers only tell part of the story. The geographical diversity which is responsible for this great biological diversity has also helped to preserve many unusual species, for example, giant redwoods and California Condors. Many unique insects are also restricted almost entirely to California. Rain beetles, Timema walking sticks, and Diphyllostoma beetles, to name a very few, all represent ancient lineages which are centered in California today. However, California is also home to an incredible diversity of humans, over 30 million of us and counting. As we occupy more and more space and demand more and more resources, we are disrupting the delicate systems which maintain the state's great biotic diversity. Some bioregions have almost completely succumbed to the pressures of development, such as the Central Valley, historically a mosaic of marshes, grasslands, and riparian woodland. Human development has already significantly impacted California's insect biodiversity as evidenced not only by the 20 insects currently listed as threatened or endangered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, but also by the nearly 150 additional species which have been proposed for listing but which are still in review. Though this WWW site concentrates primarily on existing threats to California's insects, it must be emphasized that there may be groups in more serious trouble than the insects. For example, most of California's 60 fish species are listed or are proposed for listing. Clearly California's biodiversity is being seriously impacted. The species treatments in this site attempt to call attention to habitat degradation which may be responsible for the decline of each insect. The insects are merely indicators telling us that something is wrong. We should pay attention.

50. NPARL: Just For Kids - Insects Northern Plains Agricultural Research Laboratory provides answers to common questions on insects, and points out the differences between them and arachnids. http://www.sidney.ars.usda.gov/sidebar/justforkids2.html

Saturday April 09, 2005 JUST FOR KIDS Agriculture Insects "Bug" Recipes Soils Fun Websites NPARL GALLERIES Photo Gallery Movie Gallery BACK TO NPARL CLICK HERE... Insects are animals that have: 1 pair of antennae 2 pairs of wings (if any) 3 pairs of legs 3 body parts: head, thorax and abdomen and an exoskeleton ("exo" means their skeleton is on the outside!) There are a group of insects called "true bugs" that differ from other insects in several ways. One way they are different is that they eat using a feeding tube instead of chewing jaws. You probably have seen Boxelder bugs a lot on HOT days at school or at home. Make sure you be careful though because their only way to defend themselves is to let off a stinky odor!!! That's probably why no other insects or animals like to eat them. That's right....Boxelder bugs have no natural enemies, except for YOU ! Boxelder bugs will leave a red stain if you step on them and so the only easy way to get them out of your sight is to get out your vacuum cleaner! Many people think anything with a lot of legs, like a spider, is an insect. But if it has eight legs as do spiders, ticks and scorpions, it is considered an arachnid, not an insect.

New Additions October 2006 Greetings! Finally, after more than three years, a few new words from your site editor. The last previous addition to the site stated, with the first four words in bright red, "Important Notice: May 9, 2003: Site Editor, Professor DeFoliart, regrets that because of health and other considerations, it will not be possible temporarily at least, for him to respond to questions from website visitors." The emails kept rolling in, however, most with one or more questions. One arrived, dated August 05, 2004, from an individual with initials "0 K", which said: "Hi: This is a good website, but the information about the ill professor should be removed." K" went on to suggest that if the health of the individual operating the site is bad, the site loses credibility. Item 1 describing my 80th birthday party will help explain that my problem is more one of starting to get a little on the older side rather than chronic illness from eating too many insects. I emailed "0 K", saying "thanks," and told him I would keep his suggestions in mind "if I ever do another revision of the site."

First a quick look at the anatomy of adult insects. Then a short story about the metamorphosis of insects. Insect anatomy To learn more about the anatomy, click on the different body parts of this insect !! Metamorphosis of insects In their development from egg to adult, insects change in form. The different instars are not alike, which is called metamorphosis. There are two general types of metamorphosis: simple metamorphosis and complete metamorphosis. Simple metamorphosis In simple metamorphosis the wings develop externally during the larval stages. The larval stages, which are called nymphs, look very similar to the adult insect. There is no pupal stage. The figure shows the development from an egg via 5 larval instars to an adult bug. Complete metamorphosis In a complete metamorphosis the wings develop internally during the larval stages. The larval stages look quite different from the adult. Between the last larval stage and the adult stage there is a pupal stage which usually is inactive.

54. Encyclopedia Smithsonian: Insect Flight True flight is shared only by insects, bats and birds. Examples of other animals that are capable of soaring are flying fish, flying squirrels, flying frogs http://www.si.edu/Encyclopedia_SI/nmnh/buginfo/insflght.htm

Insect Flight Flight is one of the primary reasons that insects have been successful in nature. Flight assists insects in the following ways: Escaping from danger Finding food Locating mates Exploring for new places to live Flight in insects varies dramatically, from the clumsy patterns of some beetles and true bugs to the acrobatic maneuvers of dragonflies and many true flies. Flies in the Family Syrphidae (flower flies and hover flies) are capable of astounding feats, including moving forward, backward, sideways, and up and down. They can truly hover also, which is an uncommon ability in insects. Flight in insects is gained by muscles, not attached directly to the wings, that move the wings indirectly by changing the shape of the thorax. The following records relate to the flight of insects: Migration distance Painted Lady Butterfly, from North Africa to Iceland, a distance of 4,000 miles. Fastest flight in insects Sphinx Moths, speed of 33 mph. Fastest wingbeat Midge, at 62,760 beats per minute.

The Emerald Ash Borer is the latest in the long line of tree-killing beetles, now found in more midwest and eastern states as well as Canada. The Emerald Ash Borer is known for the targeting and destruction of Ash trees and is more potent as a larvae than as an adult, though both damage just as well. Growing cases of infestation has resulted in quarantines in states from Illinois and Michigan across to Pennsylvania and Maryland. Read More... Attack of the Assassin Bug The assassin bug in Wheel Bug form is another popular identification photo that we get here regularly. Thanks to Jim S. of State College, Pennsylvania, you get to see this fearsome-looking critter in action against a poor hapless beetle. One of the striking things to us about this insect is in how it drastically changes its form from nymph to young adult to full adult. The full adult is identifiable by the distinct coloring and high ridge back that you see in the picture on the right. Additionally, the noticeable "beak" type appendage can be seen here in red, and is used for repeatedly stabbing its prey. Luckily for us humans, it prefers other insects in the form of caterpillars and bees.

56. Insect Identification Chart To Help You Identify Insects - An Entomology Must The identification of insects is not fundamentally different from the identification of birds, fish, mammals, flowers, trees or any other form of life. http://www.einsteins-emporium.com/life/animal-info/insects/insect_identification

ARTHROPODS Home Page Reference Home Page Taxonomy ... Fun Stuff Elsewhere Books on Arthropods Arthropod Posters Insect Identifier The identification of insects is not fundamentally different from the identification of birds, fish, mammals, flowers, trees or any other form of life. It is simply a matter of knowing what to look for and being able to see it. Insect identification is made difficult by the tremendous number of different species. Like all living things, insects are grouped together based on similar characteristics. The Animal Kingdom is divided into Phylum. The Arthropod Phylum contains animals that have an external skeleton. It is divided into four subphylum; the largest is the Insecta, or insects. It, in turn, is divided into twenty-six orders. The orders are then divided into families, which are divided into genus. There are over 900,000 insects world-wide, and about 90,000 of them are found in North America. New species are constantly being discovered. The purpose of this Online Reference Library is to introduce the novice to the various type of insects, the insect orders and the physical characteristics that determine an insect's classification. The goal of this Insect Identifier is to to provide the novice with a means of classifying a specimen by order. More detailed identification generally requires professional training and an extensive reference library. Even armed with such resources, professionals often disagree over identification and classification.

Search Online Tools Find an Allergist / Immunologist Pollen Counts Diseases 101 Drug Guide ... Seniors Tips to Remember: Stinging insect allergy Each year, many Americans are stung by insects. For most, these stings mean pain and discomfort generally lasting only a few hours. Symptoms may include redness, swelling and itching at the site of the sting. However, some people are allergic to insect stings. This means that their immune systems overreact to the venom injected by a stinging insect. After the first sting, the allergic person's body produces an allergic substance called Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody , which reacts with the insect venom. If he or she is stung again by an insect of the same or similar species, the insect venom interacts with the IgE antibody produced in response to the earlier sting. This triggers the release of histamine and other chemicals that cause allergic symptoms. Symptoms of severe reactions For a small number of people with severe venom allergy, stings may be life-threatening. Severe allergic reactions to insect stings can involve many body organs and may develop rapidly. This reaction is called

Insects page 1 What is an Insect? All around us there are tiny animals called insects. Scientists find so many new insects every year that they are amazed! Dragonfly Insects have 3 main body parts. Those parts are called the head, the thorax ( chest area) and the abdomen( the tail end). The head has a pair of feelers or antennae on the front of it. The thorax has 6 legs connected to it for moving and also, a pair of wings for flying. Inside the thorax , there are lots of muscles to help the legs and wings to work. Parts of an insect Insects wings are very thin so the poor insect must beat (or flap) their wings very fast so that they can really take off to fly. Insects can twist and turn their wings which helps them to stay in one spot ( hover) up in the air or even fly backwards. Insects fly for many reasons. Sometimes they need to get away from a creature that wants to eat them, to find better food, or to find an insect to mate with. Butterflies and Moths Many insects such as the Butterfly and the Moth go through 4 stages of growing. They go from being an egg (egg) to being like a worm (larva) then go to a homemade sleeping bag (pupa) where the insect takes a nap. Finally the new insect will break out of their sleeping bag(pupa) and is now an adult insect. Butterfly wings can have tiny dust on it but that helps them to have pretty colors and patterns on their wings.
