By Pascal ROUSSE Do you know what a parasitoid is? If so, you also know how fascinating their life cycle is. If not, you will soon know thanks to this detailed example. A paper written by the specialist Pascal Rousse for Passion-Entomologie, a big thank you to the author for agreeing to share his passion…
The world of insects sometimes contains surprising and mysterious species. Diptera (« flies ») Celyphidae are among them. caption id= »attachment_3078″ align= »alignright » width= »301″] Paracelyphus hyacinthus (Source : Anthony KeiC Wong-Flickr)[/caption] The name of this family comes from the Greek word « κέλυφος » which can be translated as « box » or « shell » which characterizes the most striking characteristic of these insects:…
Nombre de vues : 3 666 Flies of the Diopsidae family have the amazing feature of having their eyes positioned at the tip of outgrowths called ocular peduncles located on each side of the head. This morphology of hypercephalization and lateralisation of the visual system is also found in vertebrates, where the best known case is…
Nombre de vues : 4 350 Anatomical structures whose role is venom injection have appeared independently in several orders of arthropods. They can thus be found in Chelerates (scorpions and spiders), Myriapods (millipedes), or insects such as Hymenoptera (wasps, ants and bees) and ant larvae (Nevroptera). These organs are used either for predation or defense purposes….

Nombre de vues : 3 453 The species of ants known as « mushroom ants » or « leafcutters » belong mainly to the genera Atta and Acromyrmex (family Formicidae and subfamily Myrmicinae). The species of these two genera have the particularity of feeding on a fungus (Basidiomycete of the family Lepiotaceae) that they grow on a substrate of plant…
Nombre de vues : 5 123 Regions of the world, geographically isolated from other continents for millions of years, have allowed the appearance of unique, rare and incredible animal and plant species. New Zealand is probably one of the most interesting countries. Several emblematic species have lived and still live on this territory. For example, the…
Nombre de vues : 2 789 Membersracides are small insects belonging to the super-family Membracoidea and to the order Hemiptera : aphids, leafhoppers and cicadas, characterized by an incomplete metamorphosis (hemimetabolism : lire this article) and oral organs of the sting sucking type (lire this article). These insects are known for the care they give to…
Nombre de vues : 5 892 Insects and plants have maintained interdependent relationships since the appearance of flowering plants in the Cretaceous (145-65 million years) (read th article). This co-evolution between flowering plants and insects is at the origin of the diversity of interspecific interactions, species and biological cycles. Among these relationships, some are favorable to…
