Insectivorous Plants
This document summarizes several carnivorous plant species, including the Venus fly trap, pitcher plant, sundew, and bladderwort. The Venus fly trap lures insects with nectar and traps them using trigger hairs that cause the trap to snap shut. Pitcher plants attract insects with nectar and trap them in fluid-filled pitchers, where they drown and are digested. The sundew and bladderwort also use sticky secretions to trap small insects, which are then digested by the plants. All of these carnivorous plants obtain nutrients from their trapped insect prey.
Lots Of Bugs Alphabet Book
The document is an alphabet book about different types of bugs. It provides 1-2 sentences describing each bug's key features, such as its name, where it lives, what it eats, behaviors, and other distinguishing characteristics. Some of the bugs highlighted include assassin bugs, black widow spiders, cicadas, dragonflies, fireflies, honey bees, mantises, scorpions, tarantulas, and walking sticks. The book touches on over 25 different bugs and their traits.

[DRAWING OF A CARNIVOROUS PLANT USING LEAF SHAPES FOR THE TRAP AND STEM/VINES]
The trap is made of folded heart-shaped leaves. Smaller pointed leaves form the entrance. A long twisting stem holds the trap above the ground on a bed of flat round leaves.
Carnivorous plant
Carnivorous plants obtain nutrients through trapping and digesting insects and small animals because the soil in their environments is typically low in nutrients. There are several types of carnivorous plants that employ different trapping mechanisms, including pitfall traps like pitcher plants which use a slippery leaf tube to trap prey, snap traps like the Venus flytrap which closes rapidly on triggered hairs, and flypaper traps such as sundews which use sticky mucilage to ensnare insects. Students were assigned to draw their own imaginary carnivorous plant using plant parts to trap and digest prey.
Pigeons
Pigeons are benefits for human. Pigeons can be the lifesavers for human and a long time ago people use the pigeon to send a massage to another people in other place.
English project birds
The document summarizes information about several bird species:
The Golden Pheasant is a game bird native to western China with a distinctive golden crest, rump and bright red body. The Greater Bird-of-Paradise received its name because early specimens reached Europe without feet, leading to the belief they never touched the ground. The Rainbow Lorikeet is a colorful parrot found in Australia and nearby regions that lives in rainforests, coastal bush and woodlands. The Orange-bellied Parrot is a small Australian parrot, one of two that migrate, and is critically endangered with only 36 known to be alive after the 2011/2012 breeding season.
Carnivorous Plants
The document describes several carnivorous plant species and their trapping mechanisms. The pitcher plant uses a pitfall trap of a waxy interior pool of water to drown insects. Sundews and butterworts use sticky hairs to trap prey like flies. The Venus fly trap has leaves that can close when two tiny hairs inside are triggered. The cobra lily lures insects inside its translucent hood with sugary nectar. Bladderworts live in water and use tiny bladders that inflate and suck in surrounding water and prey.
Stick insect.pp t laura
Stick insects are arthropods of the order Phasmida that resemble sticks or leaves. They are 7 to 10 centimeters long, wingless, and range in color from brown to green. Females lay hundreds of eggs without needing fertilization by males. Stick insects use their segmented legs and antennae to move nocturnally while remaining motionless during the day among vegetation where they feed herbivorously on plants like roses in warm regions.

5 biggest household ants in south florida
White-footed ants feed on plant nectar and honeydew and reproduce through budding, forming large colonies of up to 3 million ants nested in trees, bushes, and structures. Crazy ants form populous colonies with many queens and workers that occur in temporary, mobile nests. Ghost ants occupy multiple nest sites connected by odor trails and will move nests when disturbed. Pavement ants form large colonies through nuptial flights and egg/larval development takes 6-9 weeks. Big-headed ants form massive, interconnected supercolonies through budding and multiple queens. Carpenter ants develop through complete metamorphosis and found satellite nests near mature colonies.
Butterflies
The document summarizes the four life cycle phases of a butterfly:
1. Eggs are laid on leaves and hatch into caterpillars.
2. Caterpillars molt several times as they eat voraciously.
3. When fully grown, the caterpillar attaches itself and forms a chrysalis where it undergoes metamorphosis.
4. An adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis with wet wings that soon harden and allow it to fly while feeding on nectar and searching for mates.
6 plants compare and contrast
This document summarizes and compares six types of carnivorous plants: bladderworts, sundews, butterworts, Venus flytraps, cobra lilies, and pitcher plants. It describes for each plant its name, characteristics of its leaves, the type of food it eats, and how it catches prey. The plants are all adapted to trap small insects through specialized leaves that attract, trap, and help digest prey to supplement their nutrition in low-nutrient environments like bogs or marshes.
Squirrels Natural Pest Control
There are seven native species of squirrels in North America, with the eastern and western gray squirrels being the most common pests. Squirrels have long bushy tails, powerful legs that enable jumping between trees, and teeth that continuously grow to compensate for wear from eating. The document provides information on squirrel biology and least toxic methods for preventing and controlling squirrels, including sealing entry points, removing food sources, and using live traps.

Gray squirrels live in wooded areas with dense vegetation that provide food and shelter. They depend on trees for food like nuts, acorns, and bark. Squirrels will also live near humans in parks and backyards if there are trees. Squirrels begin reproducing at one year old, giving birth to litters of 2-3 blind, hairless pups twice a year. They live on average 6 years in wooded areas but less in urban areas with threats like cars. Overpopulation affects all animals by reducing available food.

Hummingbirds are small, brightly colored birds that live in North America and Mexico. They have long beaks adapted for sucking nectar from flowers and eat flower nectar, tree sap, and small insects. Hummingbirds can fly at high speeds, both to escape predators and to reach food sources, and live in trees and flowers to hide from predators like snakes and lizards that threaten their eggs and nests. People are their worst predators as humans destroy habitats and take eggs.
Field study of birds
Birds are endothermic vertebrates characterized by feathers, beaked jaws, laying hard-shelled eggs, and a high metabolic rate. There are around 8,700-9,600 living bird species worldwide that vary greatly in size. Birds are classified in the kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, and class Aves. Common types of birds include doves, flamingos, and eagles, which are found in various habitats and have distinguishing physical traits. Birds undertake seasonal migrations for breeding and survival, moving between northern and southern latitudes. Migratory birds such as swans, geese, and ducks help control pests and dispose of dead animals, benefiting human populations.
Goldenrod galls
The document describes the goldenrod gall fly larva parasite-predator guild found on Canada goldenrod. It details how the gall fly larva initiates formation of ball galls by secreting a plant growth hormone. The gall provides shelter and food for the larva. However, some gall fly larvae are parasitized by wasp larvae that eventually kill the fly larva. Other insect larvae like the tumbling flower beetle may also inhabit the gall, preying on its other occupants. A guild is formed by organisms that are tightly interconnected and dependent on each other for survival.

It details how the gall fly larva initiates formation of ball galls on the stems by secreting a plant growth hormone. This provides food and shelter for the larva. However, the gall fly larva faces predation from the larvae of two wasp species which are endo- or ectoparasites, and a tumbling flower beetle larva which eats gall fly larvae and other insects in the gall. Other gall-forming insects on goldenrod include a gall moth and midge.
Decorah Envirothon - Good bugs, bad bugs
This document discusses many different types of bugs, identifying them as either "good bugs" or "bad bugs". It describes how good bugs like honeybees, ladybugs, lacewings, and praying mantises are beneficial as they pollinate plants and prey on pest insects. Bad bugs such as aphids, beetles, and moths are pests that damage crops and trees. The document provides details on the life cycles and behaviors of these various insect species.
Hummingbird
Hummingbirds are among the smallest birds in the world, ranging from 7.5-13 cm in length. They can flap their wings extremely fast, from 10-90 times per second depending on the species. Hummingbirds are unique in their ability to fly in any direction, including backwards and upside down. They feed by inserting long tongues into flowers to drink nectar and consume insects. Males have brightly colored patches of feathers called gorgets that they use in courtship displays. Females build small cup-shaped nests out of spiderwebs and lay two eggs.

Scales are small insects that feed on trees, shrubs, and perennials by inserting their mouthparts into plants and sucking fluids. They can seriously damage plants through sap feeding and by excreting honeydew, which encourages sooty mold. There are different types of scales including armored scales, soft scales, and others. Most scales have one generation per year and overwinter in immature stages or as adult females. Management involves preserving natural enemies through pesticide avoidance and controlling tending ants. Horticultural oil sprays during crawler activity or dormancy can provide control when populations become too high.
Firefly story
Fireflies lay eggs in the soil in late spring or early summer. The eggs hatch into larvae called glowworms after 3-4 weeks. The glowworms feed and grow throughout the summer, then burrow underground to hibernate in winter. In spring, the glowworms emerge and pupate for 1-2 weeks before emerging as adult fireflies. The adult fireflies emerge at night in early summer to find mates and reproduce through bioluminescent signals, completing their lifecycle.

Slug presentation final
Slugs play an important role in ecosystems by eating decaying plant material. They have two pairs of tentacles on their head for seeing and smelling, and breathe through a hole in their middle. Slugs move using mucus and muscle contraction from their foot, leaving behind a slime trail. They can lay 20-100 eggs several times a year in holes or under objects. Slug eggs can lay dormant for years before hatching when conditions are right, from 10 days up to 100 days depending on temperature. Newly hatched slugs immediately begin crawling and feeding at night if humidity and temperature allow.
Soybean insects
The soybean stem borer has a life cycle where the adult lays eggs on soybean plants in the summer. The eggs hatch into larvae that tunnel into the stems, causing leaves to wilt and fall off. Larvae continue tunneling down the stem until maturity, sometimes causing the entire plant to lodge. Larvae overwinter below ground and emerge as adults the next spring to begin the cycle again. Key signs of infestation are wilted leaves and lodged plants near harvest. Timely harvest and crop rotation can help manage stem borer populations.

Carcass
Carcass beetles, also known as hide beetles, are scavengers that feed on the dry remains of dead animals. They have a bumpy, warty appearance and can hide by covering themselves with dirt. Carcass beetles are found worldwide and include over 300 species. They are important in forensic investigations, as their presence on burned bodies can help estimate time of death. Rove beetles and carrion beetles also assist in estimating the post-mortem interval based on their life cycles and presence at carcasses at different stages of decomposition. Both larvae and adults of these beetle families feed on carrion and maggots.
Butterflys
Butterfly wings appear transparent because they are formed of extremely thin, layered chitin that allows light to pass through. Thousands of tiny scales covering the chitin reflect different colors, giving butterflies their vibrant appearance. As butterflies age, scales fall off, leaving transparent spots where the underlying chitin is visible.
