In Dutch we call them LieveHeersbeestjes‚ or Dear Lord Bugs. The reason they are given

Millipedes and Their Defense Mechanisms Abstract The class the millipedes are in‚ Diplopoda‚ is intriguing because it is thought to be one of the first animals to make the transition from water to land. Our lab group sought to find out under what circumstances and how millipedes use defense mechanisms. Do the millipedes curl up into a ball to evade predators? Do they bite predators and prey to inject a venom? Do they have a camouflage coating? These questions were answered by our lab experiment

to the soil. Closer examination of the anatomy of the Porcellio scaber may give more understanding of why they may be found in damp conditions. The external structure (fig.1) shows a hard exoskeleton‚ which is shed at intervals throughout their lives in order that they can grow longer. The exoskeleton consists of segments and the first section has a fusion of the thorax and the head. The uropod at the rear of the Woodlouse is used for the uptake of water and this is achieved when they are

hardened abdomen protects the crab and reduces water loss on land. These animals are true crabs that shed their exoskeleton annually. The adults dig a burrow up to 1m long to hide while they are vulnerable in the process of moulting (shedding). It remains in the burrow for three to sixteen weeks‚ depending on the size of the animal. After it is done it takes one to three weeks for the exoskeleton to

In the article An On/Off Switch For Genes written by Jim Kozubek‚ he talks about how doctors are looking at ways to have genes treat different hereditary illnesses. He explains that the gene therapy’s history is not always easy because scientist cannot control where the new gene is inserted. This then causes problems because they need a specific gene to be placed in a certain spot to be read and activated. The started experimenting with the idea of taking a therapeutic gene and combining it with

Mealworms go through a similar life cycle to that of a butterfly in that they go through 4 different maturation stages during their life. These cycles in order are egg‚ larvae‚ pupae‚ and finally the adult stage. The freshly hatched mealworms have one major goal‚ to eat. The larval mealworms are a caramel color and are very active. Mealworms eat plant matter. As the larvae get larger they will molt multiple times throughout the larval stage. The mealworms will continue to eat until they have stored
