Q

Haltere

A

the balancing organ of a two-winged fly, seen as either of a pair of knobbed filaments that take the place of the hind wings, vibrating during flight

19
Q

Hematophagy

A

Animals that feed by drinking the blood of other animals

20
Q

Social Insect

A

Live in community w/ other of same species, highly organized caste system

21
Q

Caste

A

division of society by ranking of social class

22
Q

Ectothermic

A

an organism that regulates it body temperature through the temperature around it

23
Q

Endothermic

A

an animal that can generate its own body heat

24
Q

Holometabolous

A

a life cycle including 4 stage : egg, larvae, pupa, adult

25
Q

Hemimetabolous

A

a life cycle including 3 stages: egg, nymph, adult

26
Q

Larva

A

stage of life in a holometabolous animal after egg and before pupa, immature and usually structurally different

27
Q

Nymph

A

stage of life in hemimetabolous animals, usually these reflect the adults and are just smaller versions

28
Q

Hemolymph

A

the fluid in insects that is the equivalent of their blood

29
Q

Cerci

A

small rounded pair of appendages at the end of animals, such as an earwig

30
Q

Elytra

A

pair of hardened forewings on beetles, serve as a protective covering

31
Q

Scutellum

A

hard plate on thorax of some insects; in order Hemiptera

32
Q

Rostrum

A

an anterior projection on an insect

33
Q

Raptorial Legs

A

the grasping forelegs on mantises; order Mantodea

34
Q

Sexual Dimorphism

A

the distinct differences between male and females

35
Q

Ethyl Acetate

A

the chemical used in kill jars to humanely and quickly kill an animal

36
Q

Kill jar

A

A glass jar with ethyl acetate in dried plaster of paris on the bottom or top of jar that is used to trap and quickly kill insects

37
Q

Purpose of a Kill Jar

A

the quickly and humanely kill insects

38
Q

Methods of which to set up a relaxing chamber

A

use a sealable container and put insects on a piece of Styrofoam in the container on either water or a wet paper towel and then seal lid on top. let sit for at least 24 hours or more. add some type of soap to prevent mold and mildew if in for more than 24-48 hours

39
Q

Proper pinning techniques

A

pin through the thorax slightly to the right side, open and pin out at least right side of wings on things such as beetles and then both wings on things such as butterflies and dragonflies

40
Q

Relationship between bird foot structure and behavior

A

2 toes front and 2 toes back is more common on woodpeckers to allow them to climb the trees and 3 toes front and 1 toes back is more common on songbirds to allow them to perch on tree branches

41
Q

relationship between bird beak shape and food

A

shorter more rounded beaks allow for breaking of seeds and nuts while longer beaks can allow for more digging of worms and grub

42
Q

Active ingredients and safe handling precautions for ethyl acetate

A

always wear liquid proof gloves and splashproof goggles and the active ingredients are ethanol and acetic acid

43
