American Cockroach (
Periplaneta americana
, family Blattidae, order Blattodea): It is often used in laboratories because it is easy to culture. Originally from Africa, it is now found worldwide. They are highly active, can run very fast, and fly in hot conditions. They usually hide during the day, coming out to feed after dark. They eat a range of organic matter and food scraps, regurgitating already digested food and leaving behind their faeces and a characteristic unpleasant smell. Males may have special glands on their back, which secrete chemicals that lure a mate into a suitable position for copulation. Females can produce up to 50 egg cases, each containing 12-14 eggs. The egg cases may be deposited on, buried in, or stuck to a variety of surfaces.
Golden Edge Firefly -
Lychnuris analis
Order:
Coleoptera
Suborder:
Polyphaga
Infraorder:
Elateriformia
Superfamily:
Elateroidea
Family:
Lampyridae
Genus: Pyrocoelia
The females of this species are larviform and wingless, similar to the British glow-worm.
fireflies
or
lightning bugs
are typically known for their conspicuous crepuscular use of bioluminescence to attract mates or prey. Fireflies produce a "cold light", with no infrared or ultraviolet frequencies. This chemically produced light from the lower abdomen may be yellow, green, or pale-red, with wavelengths from 510 to 670 nanometers.
About 2,000 species of firefly are found in temperate and tropical environments. Many are in marshes or in wet, wooded areas where their larvae have abundant sources of food. These larvae emit light and often are called "glowworms", in particular, in Eurasia. In the Americas, "glow worm" also refers to the related Phengodidae. In many species, both male and female fireflies have the ability to fly, but in some species, females are flightless.
Fireflies tend to be brown and soft-bodied, often with the elytra (front wings) more leathery than in other beetles. Although the females of some species are similar in appearance to males, larviform females are found in many other firefly species. These females can often be distinguished from the larvae only because they have compound eyes. The most commonly known fireflies are nocturnal, although there are numerous species that are diurnal. Most diurnal species are nonluminescent; however, some species that remain in shadowy areas may produce light.
A few days after mating, a female lays her fertilized eggs on or just below the surface of the ground. The eggs hatch three to four weeks later, and the larvae feed until the end of the summer. The larvae are commonly called glowworms, not to be confused with the distinct beetle family Phengodidae or fly genus
Arachnocampa
. Lampyrid larvae have simple eyes. The term glowworm is also used for both adults and larvae of species such as
Lampyris noctiluca
, the common European glowworm, in which only the nonflying adult females glow brightly and the flying males glow only weakly and intermittently.
Fireflies hibernate over winter during the larval stage, some species for several years. Some do this by burrowing underground, while others find places on or under the bark of trees. They emerge in the spring. After several weeks of feeding, they pupate for 1.0 to 2.5 weeks and emerge as adults. The larvae of most species are specialized predators and feed on other larvae, terrestrial snails, and slugs. One such species is
Alecton discoidalis
, which is found in Cuba. Some are so specialized, they have grooved mandibles that deliver digestive fluids directly to their prey. Adult diet varies. Some are predatory, while others feed on plant pollen or nectar.
Most fireflies are quite distasteful to and sometimes poisonous to vertebrate predators. This is due at least in part to a group of steroid pyrones known as lucibufagins (LBGs), which are similar to cardiotonic bufadienolides found in some poisonous toads.
Scarlet Skimmer -
Crocothemis servilia
Order: ODONATA
Family: LIBELLULIDAE
Genus:
Crocothemis
Crocothemis servilia
is one of the most common and widespread odonate species in the world, occurring in artificial and highly disturbed habitats and under no threats at present.
Crocothemis servilia
is an extremely widespread species, occurring throughout mainland tropical and subtropical Asia, Japan, the Ryukyu Archipelago, the greater and lesser Sunda isles, the Philippines and Sulawesi. In the west it extends into Iraq, Iran, Armenia and Turkey. It has been accidentally introduced into Florida in the USA.
The Scarlet Skimmer (
Crocothemis servilia
) is a species native to Asia which was introduced to southern Florida. It was first discovered in the U.S. near Miami, Florida, in 1975 and since has become common across most of the southern half of the Florida peninsula.
This species breeds in ponds, ditches, marshes and open swamps.
This species does not appear to be under any major threats across most of its range.
Male body is red color and female body is yellow in color.
Rice Locust -
Oxya chinensis
Found in eastern Asia, occasionally a serious pest of rice, also attacks other crops
Locust (family Tetrigidae, order Orthoptera) has a distinctive pronotum that extends back over all of the abdomen, often tapering to a point. Females lay eggs in damp soil. Can be found worldwide, mainly in warmer regions. On bare or sparsely covered ground in moist, wooded areas and the edges of bogs and lakes.
