Ticks are small arachnids that feed on the blood of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. They have a fused cephalothorax and abdomen that provides support and protection. Ticks use their capitulum, chelicerae, and hypostome to pierce the host's skin and feed on blood. They can be found worldwide in humid environments and transmit dangerous diseases like Lyme disease. Ticks have four life stages - egg, larva, nymph, and adult - and reproduce sexually either on or off the host.

Social behavior in termites
Termites live in complex colonies found in regions around the world. They communicate chemically through pheromones and live in castes that work cooperatively. The colonies contain a king and queen that lay eggs, supplementary royalty, wingless workers that build and maintain the nest, soldiers that defend the colony, and proboscideans that have elongated heads. Termites digest wood and plant material with the help of symbiotic protozoa.

Entomology
Forensic entomology uses insects and their life cycles to help determine important details for investigating crimes and death investigations. The succession of insects that colonize a corpse follows predictable stages and can help estimate the post-mortem interval, which is the time since death. Temperature affects the development and growth of insects, so understanding these relationships is important for using insects to estimate timelines in forensic investigations.

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.
99995673.ppt
Forensic entomology is the use of insect evidence in legal investigations. By studying the insects and arthropods found on a corpse, investigators can estimate time of death, determine if a body was moved after death, and identify potential toxins. Different insects colonize corpses in a predictable succession, with blowflies usually arriving first and dermestid beetles later. By identifying the insect life stages present, investigators can estimate the post-mortem interval, or time since death. This field was pioneered by Sung T'zu in ancient China and formally established in 1855 by Bergeret, who used insect evidence to solve an infant murder case.

It also discusses providing alternative foods and flowering plants to attract ladybird beetles when their normal prey is scarce.
Life cycles w/pictures
The document discusses various methods of parental care across different taxa. It covers examples such as mouth-brooding fish, colonial breeding species like lions and honey bees, and parental care strategies in penguins and seahorses. Seahorses have an unusual form of paternal care where males carry and give birth to live young after the female deposits eggs in the male's brood pouch. Penguins exhibit monogamous relationships and take turns incubating eggs and caring for chicks. Parental care strategies help offspring survive and are adapted to each species' environment and lifestyle.

The document provides information about the life cycle of mosquitoes, which includes four stages:
1. Eggs are laid by female mosquitoes and hatch within 48-72 hours into larvae.
2. Larvae, or "wrigglers", live in water and breathe through a siphon tube. They molt four times over 5-6 days.
3. Pupae, or "tumblers", live at the water surface for 1-4 days until an adult mosquito emerges from the casing.
4. Only female mosquitoes bite to obtain blood meals needed to develop eggs, while males feed on plant juices. Various species have different biting behaviors and flight ranges.
Importance of study of immature stages of insects in agriculture
The type of life cycle will vary with the insect-pest. However, most pests have certain weak points during their life cycle when they are the most vulnerable to manage. Some insect are predators, either as larvae or in both larval and adult stages. The decomposition of organic waste, such as dung and manures are an important ecosystem process which is largely provided by insects. Insect as food for animals and human being. The knowledge regarding immature stages of insect-pests and understand site of oviposition, site of pupation and larval behaviour can allow for timely and effective management, thus we can reduction in the qualitative and quantitative losses of yield and increase the profit.
Ticks and its parasitic adaptations
Ticks are arachnids that can transmit pathogens and act as vectors for diseases. They have a leathery integument and their body is divided into two regions. Hard ticks have a dorsal shield covering their body while soft ticks do not. Ticks undergo morphological, physiological, and behavioral adaptations to survive as parasites. They can transmit diseases like Lyme disease, babesiosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Prevention methods include personal protection measures, habitat modification, pesticide use, and integrated vector management.
Insect order Collembola | Springtails
The document provides information on the insect order Collembola (springtails). It discusses their key physical features, including their furcula (springtail organ), collophore, and 6 abdominal segments. Springtails have a global distribution, live in moist environments like soil and leaf litter, and are important decomposers. A few species can be considered agricultural pests by damaging seedlings or crops.
