Henry Stings!
A decent close view of henry eating and stinging. The proper sting occurs about 1m10secs in. before that he attempts a sting, but it just breaks one of the crickets legs off. Poor thing, he is really in pain you can see his antennae going mad. Also at the start you can really see his mouthparts munching at cricket no 1. |

Cicadas shedding skin
A rare glimpse of a cicadas shedding it's underground skin after coming out of the ground. Cicadas are insects. They are classified in the order Hemiptera, which includes all insects with piercing and sucking mouth-parts. Adult cicadas have stout bodies with two pairs of wings. The wing spans of the different species range from about 2.5 cm - 15 cm. When not in use, the wings fold back along the sides of the body. The longer fore wing covers the short hind wing, but the wings of each side do not overlap. The fore wing is usually glassy and transparent although in a few species it is dull and opaque. The wings are strengthened by a number of thin, firm veins. Adult cicadas have three pairs of legs all about the same length. The femur (or thigh joint) of the fore leg is thicker than that of the other legs Cicadas have large compound eyes situated one on each side of the head They also have three very small glistening simple eyes (ocelli) on the top of the head. The cicada's antennae (feelers) are quite small and bristle-like. The mouth parts of the cicada are enclosed in a long, thin, beak-like sheath. The sheath (labium) passes backwards from the lower surface of the head between the legs when the insect is not feeding. It contains four fine, needle-like stylets used in feeding. Cicadas are notorious singers. The song is a mating call produced by the males only. Each species has its own distinctive call and only attracts females of its own kind even though rather similar species may co-exist. Cicadas spend most of their life underground. It has been suggested that some of the large, common Australian species of cicada may live underground as nymphs for around 6-7 years. This would explain why adult cicadas are much more abundant during some seasons that others, with peaks occurring every few years. The periodical cicadas of North America spend 13 or 17 years underground. In contrast to that of the nymph, the life of adult cicadas is very short, lasting only a few weeks. After mating, the adult female cicada lays its eggs. It does this by piercing plant stems with its ovipositor (egg-laying spike at the tip of the abdomen) and inserting the eggs into the slits it has made. The eggs hatch into small wingless cicadas which are known as nymphs. They fall to the ground and burrow below the surface. Here they live on the sap from plant roots for a period which may last several years. They shed their skin at intervals as they grow. When the nymph reaches full size it digs its way to the surface with its front legs, which are specially adapted for digging. It generally surfaces about nightfall in late spring or early summer. The nymph then climbs on to a tree trunk or other object and sheds its skin for the last time. The fully-winged adult cicada which emerges leaves its old empty nymphal skin behind. |

Ground Beetle in a Myott Bowl
There are thousands of species of ground beetle, mostly lookling something like this. Worried at being pursued by the camera it displays its defence mechanism, ejecting the greenish liquid. I have seen this type in the garden here at Rowan Avenue before - elsewhere in Harborough I saw more of a similar black beetle that is lower and flatter. Because I kept this one for a while I fed it on some specks of corned beef and when I saw its mouthparts in action I knew where The Alien's jaws were from! The palps work together with pairs of mouthparts mashing and moving the food inward. I put it back where I found it, to continue its life, hunting in the leaf litter. |

Morbid Moth Meals: Variation at Work
National Geographic News recently stated that a species of Russian moth with a thirst for human blood demonstrates evolution at work.1 The moth, Calyptra thalictri, was filmed boring into a researchers thumb, evidently to draw a blood meal. Entomologist Jennifer Zaspel at the University of Florida in Gainesville told National Geographic, We see a progression from nectar feeding and licking or lapping at fruit juices to different kinds of piercing behaviors of fruits and then finally culminating in this skin piercing and blood-feeding. However, it seems unlikely that this is a fruit-eating moth evolving blood-feeding behavior,1 since blood-sucking moths are not new.2 A different species of Calyptra in Malaysia can puncture the skin of a tapir, a three-toed animal that resembles a swine. The mouthparts of the moth are so designed that they can be used to obtain nourishment from either fruit juices or blood. Zaspel speculated that this represents something different, something new. But there are no new structures or new biological information—just a new source of food. This phenomenon does not explain the origin of the mouth structures that moths use to eat, it just indicates a change in feeding habits. Rather than demonstrating descent-with-modification (macroevolution), the moth behavior more likely involves a preferential shift from one food source to another within the same species of animal. Such a shift makes sense within the biblical creation model, which holds that even the animal world has been affected by the universal curse placed on creation because of mans sin.3 From a creation perspective, the moth mouthparts were originally designed to pierce fruit. A switch to a blood diet doesnt demonstrate macroevolution, but instead an originally good design now misplaced and redirected due to environmental forces. There are moths that use their proboscis to drink tears from bantengs (in Thailand) and other species that feed from the tears of birds. Likewise, the hook-and-barb-lined tongues of Calyptra thalictri can be used to feed on blood as well as fruit. Skeptics of neo-Darwinism ask for real evidence for Lepidoptera evolution—perhaps a transitional mouthpart from the ordinary curled moth proboscis to the hook-and-barb-tongues of the vampire moth. |

Blood Sucking Japanese Mountain Leech
I found this leech (yama-biru) enjoying a blood meal on my foot while I was taking a break during a hike high in the mountains of central Japan. This video includes footage of the bloody wound the leech inflicted on my foot, so if you are shy of seeing blood you might not want to watch. There are two main types of leech in Japan including the blood sucking type shown in this video as well as a much larger carnivorous variety. This latter leech is without sucking mouthparts and instead has a giant mouth which allows it to swallow prey nearly as large as the leech. Please see the video link below to view this fascinating carnivore of the moist forest floor taking on a giant earthworm. http://youtube.com/watch?v=vpv9P1KOVMQ Please copy and paste the link above into your browser address field or search YouTube for the video titled 'Japan Mountain Leech vs. Giant Earthworm' |

It's Huge! - What is your worst araneae experience?
A comment from http://www.youtube.com/user/ginmillsinger Made me wonder about the following: Comment your worst experience with (a) spider(s) ever! Quote: "Don't mind spider's. Once, while canoing a river, we went under a low bridge, in quick running water. Under the bridge was infested with spider's. For about 2 minutes, it was a funny horror show! Spider's and web's everywhere! Never forget that one! :c) 5+Star video! Very best of wishes, my friend! GinMillBill" About Spiders: Spiders are predatory invertebrate animals that have two body segments, eight legs, no chewing mouth parts and no wings. They are classified in the order Araneae, one of several orders within the larger class of arachnids, a group that also contains scorpions, whip scorpions, mites, ticks, and opiliones (harvestmen). The study of spiders is called arachnology. All spiders produce silk, a thin, strong protein strand extruded by the spider from spinnerets most commonly found on the end of the abdomen. Many species use it to trap insects in webs, although there are also many species that hunt freely. Silk can be used to aid in climbing, form smooth walls for burrows, build egg sacs, wrap prey, and temporarily hold sperm, among other applications. All spiders except those in the families Uloboridae and Holarchaeidae, and in the suborder Mesothelae (together about 350 species) can inject venom to protect themselves or to kill prey. Only about 200 species, however, have bites that can pose health problems to humans.[1] Many larger species' bites may be quite painful, but will not produce lasting health concerns. Spiders are found all over the world, from the tropics to the Arctic, living underwater in silken domes they supply with air, and on the tops of mountains. In 1973, Skylab 3 took two spiders into space to test their web-spinning capabilities in zero gravity conditions. Source : Wikipedia Why?, Just testing depth of field hehe |

Tailless Whip-scorpion (Phrynus sp.) devouring its prey
Tailless Whip-scorpion (Phrynus sp.)Tailless whipscorpions are curious arthropods with spiny mouth parts (pedipalps) designed to catch prey. Very thin first pair of legs is used to feel around in dark when hunting. Active at night, these spider relatives have no silk glands or poisonous fangs but rely on stealth, speed and very sharp jaws. |

Leaf Beetle
For a long time I never found much of interest in the garden where I live and then this day I found this beetle and a ladybird larva, both on the same dock plants. It seemed they were queuing up to be on YouTube. The dark patch on the back here is the same copper colour as the rest but it reflects light differently depending on the angle. At the end of the clip the mouthparts can be seen underneath, which I think is characteristic of leaf beetles. Weevils have a long proboscis sticking out in front. If this isn't a leaf beetle, please let me know via the comments. |

Oudomxay Flies
Adult and larval flies from Oudomxay Valley, Laos. Flies (Order Diptera) are characterized by one pair of wings, one pair of stabilizing halteres behind the wings (sometimes these look like miniature golf clubs) and a sucking tube with a flat sponge on the end for a mouth. Some flies have blades on the sponge (like horseflies) and can rip out chunks of meat. Others have tiny saws (like mosquitoes) and can pierce skin or hide. One of the flies is a bee-mimic, and even carries its mimicry so far as to have the appearance of a second pair of wings (which all bees possess.) However, the presence of halteres and the flat mouthparts clearly show this to be a fly. The flies on my skin in this video are lapping up salt. Salt is a limited resource in many tropical environments and is absolutely necessary for animal life, as nerve messages are passed via salt ions. The last two flies on this video are aquatic maggots from the family Tabanidae (Horseflies) and Tipulidae (Craneflies.) |

Spider Attack
http://www.funnyanimalsvideo.org present us this great amazing predator, one of insects that attack and eat other insects every day. This is close up video of spider eating fly. Bone apetit. Made by http://www.clipspromo.com exclusive for http://www.funnyanimalsvideo.org Wikipedia info: Spiders are air-breathing chelicerate arthropods that have two body segments, eight legs, and no chewing mouth parts. About 40,000 species have been identified. In spider's bodies the usual arthropod segments are fused into two tagmata, the cephalothorax and abdomen, joined by a small, cylindrical pedicel. As in all arthropods the coelom is very small and the main body cavity is a hemocoel through which hemolymph delivers oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and removes waste products. |

Long-legged fly
These flies are everywhere and they make me very happy:) They come in metallic green, blue, and copper colors. They feed on very small insects and have also been observed sucking up some honeydew from their leafhopper friends! The honeydew gives them their carbohydrates:)) Some adults have elongated mouthparts and are known to suck up some nectar! Music from creative commons channel 'ccmixter'. Artist is 'ljova'. Song called 'Heat me up-bow phrase'. http://ccmixter.org/files/ljova/8446 The rocket sound effects taken from freesound:) http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=32984 |

Parasitology Final!
Additional information about Phtirius pubis (Crab louse, or "crabs"): Feeding habits: Crab lice are hemoflagellates, meaning that they nourish entirely on the blood of their host. If they are removed from their host, they die within 1-2 days. Life Cycle: Can live during any season of the year. Females lay approximately 30 eggs over their life at a rate of up to 3 eggs/day. The egg, or "nit", is laid and hatches in appoximately a week. The nymph proceeds through 3 instars and then transforms into the adult in another week. The adults then reproduce, repeating the cycle. Host and Pathology: The only known host of Phthirius Pubis is the human. The crab usually manifests itself upon pubic hair, but can also be found on armpit hair, chest hair, facial hair, and eyebrows and eyelashes. The crab feeds on blood by piercing the skin of the human with needlelike mouthparts. The resulting wound is approximately 0.2cm-3.0cm in diameter, and may last for several days. The crab is mainly spread through sexual contact, but can also be spread through shared clothing, bedsheets, etc. Treatment: The best way to treat the pubic lice is to treat the area with a 1% permethrin or pyrethrin lice shampoo, and also shave or comb the pubic hair to remove all nits. PS: Check out the missed edit at 7:05-7:12. Durrr. |
