Horns vs Antlers : the Key Differences
Horns vs Antlers : the Key Differences :- Among the many remarkable adaptations found in nature are horns and antlers. Due of their initial similarity, these remarkable structures are frequently mistaken for one another. But in terms of form, development pattern, function, and the animals that have them, horns and antlers are quite different. The main distinctions between horns vs antlers, their…
Modifications of Aortic Arches in Vertebrates
Modifications of Aortic Arches in Vertebrates Modifications of Aortic Arches in Vertebrates :- Basic embryonic plan. In a typical vertebrates embryo, the major arterial channels include a ventral aorta, a dorsal aorta and usually 6 pairs of aortic arches connecting ventral aorta with the dorsal aorta. Blood leaves the heart through ventral aorta which runs forward, midventrally beneath the…
Integument or Skin and its Derivatives in Vertebrates
Definition of Integument The term integument is applied to the outermost protective covering of the animal body, the skin, and its various derivatives. Skin also includes the conjunctiva of eyeballs and external surface of eardrums. It is directly continuous with the mucous epithelial lining of mouth, rectum, nostrils, eyelids and urinogenital ducts. Functions of integument The integument or…
Apis indica (Honey Bee)
The Indian honey bee, Apis indica, is a subspecies of the Asian honey bee. In India, Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and mainland Asia, it is one of the most common bees encountered and domesticated. It is perfect for beekeeping because it is generally non-aggressive and seldom displays swarming behavior. It resembles the European honeybee (Apis mellifera), which is…
Melolontha (Beetle)
The genus Melolontha belongs to the Scarabaeidae family of beetles. This genus includes the European cockchafers. Insects classified as beetles belong to the superorder Holometabola and the order Coleoptera. They differ from most other insects in that their first pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, or elytra. With over 400,000 recognized species, the Coleoptera is the largest of all…
Moth
Moth belong to the order Lepidoptera, which also includes butterflies. Moths are distinguished by their dark or dull-patterned wings. The group is paraphyletic with regard to butterflies (suborder Rhopalocera), and neither subordinate taxon is used in current classifications. Previously, they were classed as suborder Heterocera. The great majority of the order consists of moths. Moths have over…
Cicada
Cicada have membranous front wings, short antennae, and prominent eyes spaced widely apart. In most species, their drum-like tymbals quickly buckle and unbuckle to generate an incredibly loud song. Current species of Cicadomorpha can be found worldwide in moderate to tropical regions; the earliest known fossils date back to the Upper Permian. Usually found in trees, they lay their eggs in a bark…
Aphids
Aphids are tiny insects that feed on sap and belong to the Hemipteran order’s Aphididae family. Although individuals within a species can differ greatly in color, common names include “greenfly” and “blackfly.” The fluffy white woolly aphids are part of the group. In a typical life cycle, flightless females give live birth to female nymphs without the assistance of males. These nymphs may also be…
Belostoma
Belostoma, also referred to as huge water bugs, is a genus of insects belonging to the hemipteran family Belostomatidae. This genus’s members are indigenous to freshwater environments throughout the Americas, with tropical South America having the highest species richness.Although Belostoma is still a genus with a large number of members, the majority of species in the family Belostomatidae have…
Nepa (Water Scorpion)
The genus Nepa is a member of the Nepidae family, which includes water scorpions. In the Northern Hemisphere, species can be found in freshwater environments. They are aquatic insects with oval bodies and raptorial front legs. They are easily distinguished from the Belostomatidae by having two nonretractable cerci-like breathing tubes on the terminal abdominal segment, just like other Nepidae…
DragonFly
A dragonfly is a flying insect that is a member of the Anisoptera infraorder, which is subordinate to the Odonata order. There are currently about 3,000 species of dragonflies. There are fewer species in temperate climates, and the majority are tropical. Dragonfly populations worldwide are under risk due to the loss of wetland habitat. Adult dragonflies have two sets of powerful, translucent…
Ephimera (Mayfly)
Mayflies are aquatic insects that belong to the order Ephemeroptera. They are also known as shadflies or fishflies in Canada and up-winged flies, up-wing flies, or drake-flies in the UK. This genus belongs to the ephimera, an ancient group of insects that also includes damselflies and dragonflies.

Termites
A class of eusocial insects known as termites eats a wide range of decomposing plant matter, usually in the form of wood, leaf litter, and soil humus. They have been referred to as “white ants” because of their soft-bodied, unpigmented worker caste and beaded (moniliform) antennae, but they are actually highly derived cockroaches rather than ants; they are genetically closer to some cockroach…
Forficula (Earwig)
The genus Forficula belongs to the family of earwigs. Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish biologist, initially defined Forficulidae in the 10th edition of Systema Naturae in 1758. Earwigs, once tiny pinchers, are known by the Latin name Forficula. The genus is native to Afro-Eurasia, mainly Europe, and is found on every continent except Antarctica. Forficula auricularia is the most well-known species and a…
Mantis religiosa (Praying Mantis)
The largest family of the order Mantodea (mantises) is the Mantidae family, which includes the European mantis (Mantis religiosa), a huge hemimetabolic insect. The term “praying mantis” comes from the characteristic position of the mantis’s first pair of legs, which resembles a position of prayer when it is in repose. The elongated bodies of both sexes include two pairs of wings. The species’…
Phyllium (Leaf Insect)
Within the family Phylliidae (Phasmatodea), Phyllium is the largest and most common genus of leaf insects. They are found in Australasia, Wallacea, Sundaland, and the Philippine Islands. Classification of Phyllium (Leaf Insect) Phylum – Arthropoda (Jointed Appendages) Class – Insecta (3 pairs of legs.) Sub-class – Pterygota (Winged insects.) Division – Exopterygota (Wings develop…
Carausius (Stick Insect)
Within the order Phasmatodea (stick and leaf insects), the genus Carausius belongs to the tribe Lonchodini. Because every member in the genus resembles a twig, it is similar to the Phasmatodea in many aspects. They are parthenogenetic species.The most popular stick insect kept in captivity is Carausius morosus. Classification of Carausius (Stick Insect) Phylum – Arthropoda (Jointed…
