INSECT LIFE: TINY SPECIES AROUND US

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY2 years ago (edited)

Another challenge has been caught by my eyes! And it's from in this community. Seems very interesting that's why I hurriedly went to our school garden. It's a kind of interesting in a sense that we can be vigilant to tiny species around us,where there's also life. Sometimes, we neglected them and snapped them right away if we caught them on act. Which is a big no no.

Here's some snippets of my short tour in our school garden where I found arachnids.


Praying Mantis

This is Praying Mantis, which I first spotted in the garden. As I observed, it has something on its mouth. Ohh.. It's a bug! Mantis hunts its prey with its long legged to easily grasp it. It has various types of Mantis, the other one is brown color which I think it camouflage to its environment to trap its prey.


Hornet

Hornet are designed to sip nectars from flowers aside from bees. In our garden, the flowering plants were about to give us healthy vegetables however, before it happened, it should be taken cared of the it.

Although they are insects, and forbidden to get near to plants that may distract the growth, but it has also role to plants which they also needed to live.


Black Garden Ants

These are black garden ants that we usually seen on the garden, dead trees, and in other areas. They act as decomposers in our environment in the sense that they eat dead organics and other insects, with this it keeps our environment clean.


Grasshopper

I scrutinize the plants why it's damaged. Then, a grasshopper hops onto the pot which I slowly take a photo of it.

Grasshoppers are commonly in green and brown color. They eat plants especially vegetables with healthy growth. It's yummy in their tummy😋.


White Aphids

White aphids are common in our garden which should be controlled because it may affect the growth of the plants. We can easily identify them as it appeared whitish in our garden.


Grass Spider

Grass Spiders are commonly found in the morning dew. They made web as their habitat and also to attract their prey. Generally, they eat other insects to live.


Fly

Capturing this insect is sort of hard in way that it flies right away if it's disturbed. Flies are generally scavengers because it consumed rubbish and rotten organics.

These insects have important roles in ecosystem which we can't notice with our very eyes. Their life depends on what is available in their environment.

wow, interesting concept

Thanks! Hehe

Thank you for dropping by 😊

I always loved see the ants, It's a meditation.

True, so am I. The series of themselves made me amazed how cooperative they were.

Wow 😲 what an entry best of luck po...also wonderful capture 😍

Oh the black ants really scare me. I don't know if their bite is painful but I had once experience a painful bite from giant red ants.

The red ones are the scariest one miss, hehehe

Oh yes I agree. The bite really sting and I don't want to encounter them again.

How about you Syd do you have an entry? Hello! Beautiful.🤗

Wala medyo busy talaga ako.

The only arachnid in your post is the spider. All the other creatures are insects. And insects and spiders are two different types of creatures within the phylum Arthropoda.

Insects belong to the subphylum Hexapoda, class Insecta. And the name "Hexapoda" means "six legs", which is the main identifying trait of insects. If an arthropod has more than six legs it is not an insect.

Spiders belong to the class Arachnida from the subphylum Chelicerata. And the main identifying trait of arachnids is having eight legs. Spiders are not insects.

As for other differences that differentiate the two, insects have three body segments - a head, thorax, and an abdomen. Spiders only have two body segments - a cephalothorax (combined head and thorax), and an abdomen.

So there, I hope this explains it well. A spider is not an insect, because it is an arachnid. And arachnids are not insects. 🤓 🙂 💡

Woow! Thank you so much for this @kryptik.tigrrr3d! I never thought its classes, the phylum and others. You explains well to this sir! Well, I admit that this is based in my own experience and what I have seen in actual. I am so sorry for the lack I have made.

Thank you for this and have a blessed day!

Those aphids gave me goosebumps sis. Ang kapal kapal, kawawa jud ang plants Ani nila wala Juy patawarin, Patay jud.
Hello nice to meet you here, a fellow Bisdak din but living here in Luzon na.
Good luck po on your entry.

True sis, marami yan sila at pagkapa ko sa white, nasa loob yung laman nya color green.

Thank you sis

When I see such different posts, I examine them in more detail. The world of insects is still a mystery.

Indeed, these are just few. There are many out there are still undiscovered.

You shared some kind of insect complete with an explanation,which stole my attention with one of the bug bugs,it looks very creepy.

True! But I'm a kind of person not scared of insects either.

Thank you for the compliment sir!

All of those are amazing photos! I am jealous of your insect collection haha. You did an incredible job identifying them all. Thanks for sharing!

Hehe thanks @damla.

God bless❤️

Impressive you found all these little critters while juggling a day at work 😉. Seeing the ants reminds me of being and a kid and following the ant trail to try and determine where they are going, what they're doing, etc.

Thanks @justinparke . Yeah, curiosity it is, hehe

Indeed, an ecosystem that we cant notice at all if we don't spend time learning it.
