Invertebrate Zoology

What is the meaning of nocturnal? We are all a little scared or disgusted of bug such a spiders and beetles. But the one bug that almost everyone adores is the pill bug. If you pick one up it will roll up into a tight ball to protect itself. That is why it is called the �roly-poly�.

This little gray or brown bug can be found everywhere in the United States but the desert. Thanks to lawn sprinklers they can survive in dry places like California too. Pill bugs have something in common with snakes. Like them they shed their skin when it gets too small. Pill bugs go through this process, called �molting�, about five times until they are full-grown. They are like owls in the sense that they are nocturnal. They wander around at night and look for food. Pill bugs aren\'t just nice they are interesting ones too.

Which of the following is NOT true? A mature House Cricket is roughly 2 centimeters in length. The female has an ovipositor, a long extension attached to the end of the abdomen and is used for depositing eggs in the soil.House Crickets have very prominent legs and two pair of wings .However, only the back pair is used for flying. There are a variety of habitats where House Crickets can be found like woodlands, suburbs, urban areas, buildings, ducts, siding etc. Although many crickets die off in the colder months, those that manage to find their way indoors can stay alive year round. Crickets become sexually mature between eight and twelve weeks after birth. After the male mates with the female, the female lays between 50 and 100 eggs in a soft surface and these eggs hatch in two weeks. Interestingly enough, the rate at which a cricket chirps is determined by the temperature outside. A Cricket chirps faster when it is warmer. As far as diet is concerned, House Crickets will eat just about anything including soft plant matter, insects, young crickets, and decomposing matter.
