24
Q

Classify the following (i.e. name the phylum, class, and order)

What are Blattodea and what are some distinguishing features?

A

Cockroaches

  • Oval, flattened body
  • Head is concealed beneath the pronotum (looks like a shield)
  • Manibulate (chewing) mouthparts
  • Antennae
  • Wing development varies
25
Q

Classify the following (i.e. name the phylum, class, and order)

What are Phasmatodea and what are some distinguishing features?

A

Stick insects

  • mimick sticks or leaves
  • mandibulate mouthparts
  • all legs adapted for walking
  • vegetarian
  • some species are significant pests
26
Q

Classify the following (i.e. name the phylum, class, and order)

What are Orthoptera and what are some distinguishing features?

A

Grasshoppers, crickets, katydids

  • hindlegs adapted for jumping (i.e. they’re big and muscley)
  • filiform antennae (thin)
    • short = locusts and grasshoppers
    • long = crickets and katydids
  • mandibulate mouthparts

locusts

  • form swarms and marching/hopping bands (as nymphs)
  • once they’re swarming, its too late for control due to their ability to migrate LONG distances very quickly
  • egg pods can reach densities of 500/m2
  • moisture stimulates egg development
  • eggs laid in autumn enter diapause
27
Q

Classify the following (i.e. name the phylum, class, and order)

What are Odonata and what are some distinguishing features?

A

Dragonflies and Damselflies

  • Two nearly-equal pairs of large membranous wings
  • nymphs are aquatic
    • potential biological control for mosquito larvae
28
Q

Classify the following (i.e. name the phylum, class, and order)

What are the two Australian suborders of Odonata and how do you tell them apart?

A

Anisoptera (dragonflies)

  • wings usualy spread at rest

Zygoptera (damselflies)

  • Wings usually held over the body at rest
29
Q

Classify the following (i.e. name the phylum, class, and order)

How would you tell the difference between a bug and a beetle?

A

Forewings

  • Coleoptera (beetles) have elytra (hardened forewings) that curve down and cover the body

Mouthparts

  • Coleoptera have mandibulate mouthparts
30
Q

Classify the following (i.e. name the phylum, class, and order)

What are Dermaptera and what are some distinguishing features?

A

Earwigs

  • elongate body with cerci modified into forceps
  • incomplete metamorphosis
  • nocturnal
  • omnivorous
    • seedlings and flowers can be severely damaged
31
Q

Classify the following (i.e. name the phylum, class, and order)

What are Hemiptera and what are some distinguishing features?

A

Bugs, aphids, scales, leafhoppers, cicadas

  • sucking mouthparts
    • useful for distinguishing from beetles
  • usually have two pairs of wings with forewings hardened
    • can also have no wings
  • usually gradual/incomplete metamorphosis
  • many are pests
    • not only because they feed on plants, but because they’re the main vectors of disease
  • some are predatory and very useful as biological control
    • e.g. mirid bugs
32
Q

Classify the following (i.e. name the phylum, class, and order)

What are Thysanoptera and what are some distinguishing features?

A

Thrips

  • piercing/sucking mouthparts
  • narrow wings with a fringe of setae (hairs)
  • diverse feed resources exploited
  • many induce galls
  • some are vectors of plant viruses
33
Q

Classify the following (i.e. name the phylum, class, and order)

What are Diptera and what are some distinguishing features?

A

Flies, mosquitoes, gnats, midges

  • single pair of wings
  • adult mouthparts = sucking, often adapted for piercing
  • complete metamorphosis
  • larvae don’t have true legs
34
Q

Classify the following (i.e. name the phylum, class, and order)

What are Lepidoptera and what are some distinguishing features?

A

Butterflies, moths

  • two pairs of membranous wings, covered in scales
  • mouthparts modified into a sucking proboscis
  • larvae typically catarpillars with distinct head, thorax, and abdomen
  • prolegs on abdomen are not true legs (no segments)
35
Q

Classify the following (i.e. name the phylum, class, and order)

What are Neuroptera and what are some distinguishing features?

A

Lacewings

  • two pairs of wings with numerous cross-veins
  • mandibulate mouthparts
  • long, thread-like antennae
  • predatory
    • larvae control mites, aphids, thrips, etc.
36
Q

Classify the following (i.e. name the phylum, class, and order)

What are Coleoptera and what are some distinguishing features?

A

Beetles and weevils

  • two pairs of wings
    • forewings (mesothoratic wings) hardened (called elytra)
  • mandibulate mouthparts
  • complete metamorphosis
  • larvae with/without legs
37
Q

Classify the following (i.e. name the phylum, class, and order)

Describe the general characteristics of locust collective behavoir and outbreaks

A
  • two phases regarding how they choose where to feed, solitarous and gregarious
    • gregarious = in groups
    • can be because they hatched together or because resources are limited
    • nymphs form hopper bands and basically walk along the ground
      • can be 50m to several km
      • band movement seems unpredictable
        • hypothesis is that it emerges from local interactions
