The green stink bug is considered a pest to most people, but most people don’t know about it. The stink bug has a bright green color with narrow sides and can be spotted or striped. These marking can be black, yellow, white, or red. It has bilateral symmetry, where a line can be drawn down the middle and each side looks the same. From the tip of the head to the tail end, the size varies between 13mm-19mm and it has an oval like shape.…

The book I selected is called Horsefly and Honeybee, which is a fiction book written by Randy Cecil.This book is about a horsefly and a honey bee who fought over a flower and each lost a wing. Because they could no longer fly they were captured by a bullfrog and soon to be eaten. But, they decided to work together and use the remaining wings they had to fly away. By doing so, they escaped, became friends, and shared the flower. This book is at the instructional level for the majority of the class and is for ages four to eight and grades pre-k to third. However for a handful of students, who i’ve noticed are at a higher reading level than the rest of the class, this book would be somewhat simpler. But, the moral gained from the story is something…

Shaun David Hutchinson’s novel We Are the Ants is a riveting story which draws attention to the everyday struggles people may face such as depression, grief, and bullying, acknowledges different perspectives to life and setbacks, and includes a little bit of mystery. Although the novel emphasises the importance of understanding that everyone is going through some sort of dilemma, the struggles facing the characters are exaggerated, which is why I rate this book an 8.5/10. The main character, Henry, is abducted by aliens on a sporadic basis, and is given the chance to save planet Earth from an upcoming catastrophe occurring on January 29, 2016 by pressing a red button on a spaceship. However, Henry is heavily bullied by those at his school,…

In “Mega Marketing of Depression,” Ethan Watters talks about how culture of depression was evolved in Japan. Steven Johnson in “The Myth of the Ant Queen” talks about the pattern which were used to develop organized complexity. In “The Power of the Context,” Malcolm Gladwell talks about the circumstances which were responsible in changing individual’s behavior. Although, all of these essays are related to each other, culture or community doesn’t determine individual behavior rather individuals determine the culture.…
In my opinion, the killer bee was created by scientists in brazil to help decrease the population of humans. From the moment they were created, killer bees induced around one thousand deaths every year..After escaping the lab the killer bee began taking over mexican and american honey bee hives. Our descendants of southern african bees brought to america by brazilian scientist trying to breed a regular honey bee to an african bee and created the one and only Killer Bee. Killer bees have been in the unites states for over seventeen centuries, so people had a long time to get used to them. Killer bees are not very big organism, they are a little bit over half an inch long. Just like other bees. They are brown with a fuzzy body. Killer bees have four pairs of wings, but they do not fly very well. They are able to chase their target…
Every day the Earth faces an environmental dilemma that ranges from human factors such as factories which release chemicals into the atmosphere to natural causes such as floods and tornados. It has become hard to pin point which is the most threating to the ecosystem, but in recent times the introduction of an invasive species has played a big part in the wide spread changes in the ecosystem. Changes in an ecosystem can affect many species differently, if they are unable to adapt to the rapid alteration, this can lead to rapid habitat lost and even extinction of a species.…
While the majority of the human population quivers at the thought of ingesting manure, the mighty dung beetle rises to the challenge, and uses the manure in unique ways. Without dung beetles, pastures would be overrun with manure and flies- and parasites would run amuck. I’m no expert but according to the Sustainable Parasite Management division at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, affectionately known as PU, the dung beetle is beneficial to our environment. They help keep the soil cleaner, reduce pollution and algae formation in our waters, and acts as an organic pooper scooper for our livestock farms.…
The tone of Henry David Thoreau’s essay The Battle of the Ants has a big effect on how the essay is read. The essay is a narrative, telling a story. The story is told in a very calm tone, and Thoreau tells it from a first person point of view in past tense. This makes the story sound like readers are sitting with Thoreau by the fireside one night as he is telling it to them. While it does not make the story very exciting, it makes the essay very interesting.…
In 2012, 16259 people in the United States were murdered and another 1.8 million people were sent to the hospital due to assault. Humans resorting to violence and harming others is a daily occurrence, but why? Is it in our nature, are we instinctively violent, and why is it that these acts are not only happening in the United States but worldwide. Although the average person does not leave their home planning on harming somebody that day, under the right circumstances almost every single person in this world will commit an act of violence. Sometimes these acts are justified, such as when we are trying to protect ourselves or a loved one, but what about the smaller acts that we all do every day. Whether it is killing the spider you see crawling on the wall, or the bee flying around simply trying to do its job. We do not see these as acts of violence but in there essence they are. Why is it that our first instinct is to kill them when they are not causing us any harm? Howard Fast builds on this idea within the theme of his short story The Large Ant, where the narrator kills a creature that resembles an ant, purely out of instinct.…
