Stinging Insects

http://www.silcom.com/~vector/insect.html

Extractions: Stinging and Venomous Insects There are a number of stinging and venomous insects in the Southern California area which present a public health problem. Wasp and Bee nests are often found near human habitats and present a threat to the population. Africanized Honey Bees are expected to officially colonize the entire county within the next year, and the Santa Barbara Coastal Vector Control District is equipped, trained and prepared to deal with swarms as they are reported in the area. Information is available from the District explaining precautions and procedures for dealing with Bees, Wasps, Scorpions, and Spiders including the Black Widow Spider. Africanized Honey Bee ~ aka. "Killer Bees" Africanized Honey Bees - noted for their aggressive stinging behavior - are descendants of escaped African bees imported into Brazil in 1956. After establishing themselves in South America, Africanized Honey Bees (AHB's) advanced up the coasts into Central America. By 1990 they had established themselves in Texas and began spreading to other southern states. To date they have impacted the California Counties of: Imperial, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego of Southern California and are on their way West and North. In September of 2002, the South Coast area of Santa Barbara County was officially declared to be colonized by the Africanized Honey Bee. It is expected that AHB's will eventually replace unmanaged colonies of the common European Honey Bees (EHB's) in Santa Barbara County.

Analytical review of the plot, setting, theme, and structure of the film, and links to similar movies. Starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Patsy Kensit.
http://www.allwatchers.com/Topics/Info_3801.asp

Extractions: Starring: Kristin Scott Thomas, Patsy Kensit Review Summary "A young biologist (Mark Rylance), having lost everything in an expedition to the Amazon, returns to England to find a wealthy wife and rebuild his work and reputation. He thinks he's found the gorgeous answer to his dreams (Kensit) and marries her, but gradually realizes he has plunged into a milieu drowning in secrets. He also finds himself drawn to a quiet, mysterious servant (Thomas) who may have the keys to his dilemma. The film is based on the A.S. Byatt novella "Morpho Eugenia," and is memorable not only for the fine, intense plot and acting, but the arresting costumes: the bright colors of the women's dresses very much resemble butterflies and other rare insects."

How To Use Insects As Food
Site put out by Rhema. Includes nutritional data of various insects, a few recipes and a lot of general Category Home Cooking Wild Foods insectsHOW TO USE insects AS FOOD. insects are being eaten in most of the world. Duringthe Pacific war prisoners supplemented their diets with insects.
http://members.aol.com/keninga/insects.htm

Extractions: Insects are being eaten in most of the world. Archaeological evidence tells us that entomophagy has been practiced since mankind first made an appearance on this planet. It would appear that all levels of society consumed various insects and today they remain an important food source in many parts of the world. Insects are important to Australian aborigines, as well as African, Middle Eastern and Asian populations. Filipino farmers flood their fields to capture mole crickets that are sold to restaurants while the Thais eat crickets, grasshoppers, beetle larvae and dragonflies. During the Pacific war prisoners supplemented their diets with insects. Aztecs favored the corn ear caterpillars while in China, bee larvae is eaten raw or fried. Of course for the average person, a good steak and a salad would be your first choice but during uncertain times, it is always good to have alternatives such as insects. Insects are low in carbohydrates, high in protein along with fat and calories which are needed in a survival situation. For example, crickets and grasshoppers have approximately 24 percent protein. Grasshoppers have 200 calories per 100 grams (approximately 900 calories per pound - some studies show up to 1,200 calories per pound) with 7-9 percent fat comparing to steak at 250 calories per 100 grams. Also crickets have amino acids required in the human diet. Beef provides 200-300 calories per 100 grams with 18 percent protein and 18 percent fat.

http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/insects/printouts.shtml

Extractions: Insects are arthropods (a type of invertebrate , animals that lack a backbone). All insects have a hard exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax, and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes, and two antennae. The legs (and wings, if applicable) are attached to the thorax. Insects breathe through holes called spiracles. Insects hatch from eggs. There are about a million different types of insects and many more that have not been discovered yet. Insects evolved during the Silurian Period, 438 to 408 mya (long before dinosaurs appeared). Insect means "segmented" in Latin. The biggest insect that ever lived was the ancient dragonfly called Meganeura . This predatory flying insect lived about 250 million years ago and had a wingspan of about 2 feet.

Extractions: Contact us Its amazing what's out there in the back yard. I got myself a digital camera a couple of years ago. It has a brilliant macro focus ability that lets you get to within 2cm of the subject. The opportunity to go on lots of wildlife photo-safaris in my own garden was just too good to resist. Below are a selection of insects and spiders that share my garden with me. Click on the thumbnails to see the photograph. The camera used is a Nikon Coolpix 950 Soldierfly Chloromyia formosa A bright, shiny fly that frequents the garden compost heap. Brilliant, iridescent green and bronze coloured. Handsome boy ain't he? Figwort Weevil Cionus scrophulariae Doing an amazing impression of bird droppings are these two mating weevils. This weevil feeds on Mullein and Figwort plants Ichnuemon Wasp Unknown species This parasitic wasp is busy drilling through the sealed entrance to a leafcutter bee's nest cells. The wasp lays its eggs on the host larvae and when the wasp larvae hatches it eats the host. Nasty, but ingenious! Mason Bee Osmia rufa A common bee in many gardens. The lovely, foxy red haired Mason Bee, nests in all sorts of holes in timber and masonry. I drilled holes in old fence posts and within days there were loads of Mason Bees taking up residence.
