Insects are nature’s engineering marvels. They can perform marvellous feats such as jumping many times their own body length, lifting many times their own body weight, moving around even with multiple missing limbs and doing all this with amazing efficiency.

The United States currently has no comprehensive, integrated legislative or regulatory framework to manage the permitting of imported biological control agents. There are unresolved questions of whether the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has jurisdiction over parasitoids that are not plant pests; there are differences in protocol between weed and arthropod biocontrol ag...
متن کاملGeotropic Orientation in Arthropods
The creeping of the beetle Tetraopes tetraopthalmus during negatively geotropic orientation shows the angles of orientation (theta) on a surface inclined at alpha degrees to the horizontal to be proportional to sin alpha. The direction of orientation easily suffers temporary reversal to positive as result of handling. Mechanical stability during upward progression should be just possible when K...
