Sowbugs, although referred to as a “bug” in its name is in fact not an insect, but rather an isopod (cite). Although the misconception of Sowbugs being insects is very common, individuals need to be reminded that insects have only three pairs of legs whereas sowbugs have seven. Like many invertebrates, Sowbugs are ectothermic which causes their body temperature to change with their environment (cite). Sowbugs can be described as having seven pairs of legs and having a 14 mm long dark brown body that is covered with overlapping plates which can be compared to that of an armadillo’s; the exoskeleton of the isopod must molt as it matures (cite). These creatures prefer to live in where it is damp and dark, typically under logs, leaf piles and
MILLERSBURG — A Killbuck man on Tuesday appeared in court to deny sexually violating an 11-year-old girl.
Our hypothesis was that sowbugs prefer grass to sand as a ground covering because grass is more suitable to them due to its moisture level and that it contains decaying matter. The sowbugs preferred sand 10% more than grass (Figure 1). Table 1 shows the difference in preference for the ground covering, with more sowbugs preferring sand to grass.
Pillbugs and sowbugs are terrestrial isopods that belong to the order Isopoda and the arthropod class crustacean. According to the Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology, the terrestrial isopods have evolved from the marine forms. However despite the fact that they seek moist environments they must also avoid an overly moist environment (Journal of Insect Science, 2008). The two different species resemble one another phenotypically. However, pillbugs are a dark gray and the sow bugs are a light gray with posterior projections. Pillbugs also curl into a ball when they feel endangered and the sow bugs do not. The pill bugs used in this experiment were female. Isopods primarily live in dark, damp habitats in order to prevent dehydration (Isopod Behavior Lab). The purpose of this experiment was to determine the type of environment isopods prefer. First we tested to see if the isopods preferred a dry or moist environment and then we tested to see if they preferred the potting soil or the leaf litter environment. For the observation of isopods in response to moisture experiment it was said that each of the two different species would prefer a different environment. For part two, Observation of Isopods in response to other variables, it was hypothesized that the Isopods would prefer the potting soil or the leaf litter environment.
During the last decade, redbanded stink bug has emerged as a major stink bug pest species in Louisiana. The economic threat from redbanded stink bug is also rapidly increasing in the Mid-South and Southeastern region of the United States as it continues to expand its geographical range. Since redbanded stink bug is relatively new species in the existing sting bug complex, there is a lack of information about this pest compared to other stink bugs. One of the gaps in our present understanding is its potential spring hosts where its population can build up before migrating to soybean. Field observations have revealed that red banded stink bugs were present in high numbers on leguminous host like medic, clovers and vetch along rights-of-way, ditches
If a pillbug curls into a ball, it can be concluded that it feels threatened.
Pill bugs since related with the isopods their water misfortune can be associated through dissipation of the pleopods, which is their gills. This impacts the survival factor and in addition the appropriation. Pill bugs are an uncommon sort of isopod, their logical name is Armadillidiidae. They are exceptional contrasted with other earthbound isopod on the grounds that their exoskeleton can move up into a ball known as conglobation. This procedure backs off the rate of water misfortune making it less demanding for these pill bugs to survive contrasted with others. A trial was led with these bugs to test the conglobation theory that it moderates the rate of water misfortune, and they ensured that the bugs chose in the investigation would be generally
The Boll Weevil is a beetle. A drought is when an area has no rainfall for a long period of time. The Boll Weevil feeds on flowers and lay eggs in the flower buds of cotton. The Boll Weevil came from Mexico to Georgia to destroy the cotton plantation in the 1890s. A Drought came in Georgia and caused destruction on the crops also. Since the crops and cotton were destroyed, farmers could not pay people to pick them. So, many people lost jobs, and banks that loaned money to farms took huge L’s. Also, most working farms fell. The Boll Weevil and the Drought destroyed Georgia’s farms and its crops, including cotton. Since the cotton was gone, the Boll Weevil
One thing about the news today that my Mawmaw has noticed is how it has changed so much since she was young. If there was a shooting or a tragedy, it was a rare occasion. Today, a major crime happens weekly. From the church shooting in Georgia, to the explosion in France, and, just recently, the shooting in Colorado at the abortion clinic all happened within months of each other. She especially recognizes how the devil is attacking young people of today.

Although there is no teamwork aspect to the game, there is plenty of interaction and laughter! Kids are additionally challenged to think on their feet as the meandering Hexbug® nano® (small, motorized “insect”) quickly scuttles around the board.

I am an active member in my church which praises substance free living. Other than just being a part of a religion, I am a part of a substance-free teaching group at my high school. This group is known as Peer-Teachers; we go through an alcohol awareness retreat, take a pledge to stay alcohol free, and have multiple training days where we learn an alcohol-education curriculum. Once we learn the curriculum we get the opportunity to go to the middle school that feeds our high school and teach four classes about living alcohol free. Each of the classes is geared towards a different lesson which are Integrity, Wisdom, Responsible Decision Making, and Leaving Your Mark. All of the classes are based around alcohol, the effects of it, and how we can
