🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
The broken-backed bug (Taylorilygus apicalis) can reach a length of about 4–5 millimetres. These bugs are usually light green, but the may also be tan, with mainly brown outer wings and brown flecks on the inner wings.
This species is widespread in most of Europe, in the Afrotropical realm, in the Australasian realm, in the Neotropical realm, in the Oriental realm, in North America and in Oceania.
These plant bugs are polyphagous, but they mainly feed on "Asteraceae" species, "Anthemis" and "Salix" species. The broken-backed bugs are vectors of a phytoplasma-caused phyllody in species of "Parthenium". -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
Cicindela dorsalis, commonly known as the Dunes Tiger Beetle, is a medium-sized, fast-moving beetle found along sandy coastal regions of North America. Its striking coloration and rapid hunting behavior make it a notable predator in its habitat.
Cicindela dorsalis inhabits sandy beaches, coastal dunes, and open sandy areas. It is typically found in sunny environments where it can actively pursue prey.
Its hardened forewings, also called elytra, acquire varying shades of white and tan. The northeastern beach tiger beetle has wings hidden under these elytra. The beetle has large white and black jaws, long antennae, and long legs that allow them to move quickly across hot sand. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
The ghost ant, Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius), is believed to have its origin in either the Orient or Afro tropical regions. This is a tramp species, introduced through human commerce into the United States and is now established in a number of locations in southern and central Florida. It has also been found indoors in more temperate climates in Texas, Iowa, Oregon, and Winnipeg, Canada.
The ants are bi-colored; the head and thorax are dark brown to black and the gaster, pedicel, legs, and antennae are milky white to yellowish white. It is sometimes referred to as the black-headed ant.
Colonies of ghost ants are highly mobile and frequently move from overpopulated nests. They are difficult to eradicate. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
As it’s name suggests, Megachile campanulae is a specialist on Campanula (Bellflowers) in mid-summer. Megachile campanulae is distributed through eastern North America into the Rocky Mountains.
Bellflower resin bees are known to build their nests in pre-existing cavities, such as hollow plant stems or holes in wood. They use plant resins to construct partitions within these nesting sites, creating individual cells for their larvae.
Bellflower resin bees are not known to be aggressive and rarely sting unless provoked or handled. They are generally docile and prefer to focus on foraging and nest-building activities rather than exhibiting defensive behavior. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
Oecanthus pellucens, commonly known as the clear-winged tree cricket, is a species of cricket belonging to the family Gryllidae. This insect is characterized by its almost transparent wings, which give it a distinct appearance compared to other crickets.
Oecanthus pellucens is typically found in North America, with a range extending from the eastern United States to parts of Canada and Mexico.
The most notable feature of Oecanthus pellucens is its long, clear wings that are held over the body when at rest. The transparency allows light to filter through, giving them a unique look. Adult individuals typically measure between 1 to 2 cm in body length. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF YESTERDAY 🚨
The Red-Claw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus von Martens, is native to freshwater habitats of northern Australia and Papua New Guinea. Owing to its large size and suitability for aquaculture, C. quadricarinatus has been widely translocated around the world.
The body is conspicuously coloured with red and maroon highlights on a blue-green to green body. In addition, mature male Red-Claws have a bright red pulvinus on the outer surface of the major chelae, hence the common name.
Trade and culture of aquarium species is a prime source of introduced freshwater species in Singapore. Cherax quadricarinatus is not presently cultured for human consumption in Singapore, but in the last decade it has become popular in the aquarium trade. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
Giant Lichen Orb Weavers (Araneus Bicentenarius) can be found in the United States in the woods on trees with lichens (a type of fungus), which is how they got part of their name. Like most other orb weavers, this is a nocturnal spider that spins large webs.
Most commonly, the legs of the giant lichen orb weaver are orange colored with black rings. The body is usually a grayish green with dark and white markings on it.
The giant orb weaver spins huge webs of a size up to 8 feet in diameter. Unlike most other orb weavers, Araneus bicentenarius usually spends most of its time on the edges of the web, not in the center. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
The deathstalker (Leiurus quinquestriatus) is a species of scorpion, a member of the family Buthidae. It is also known as the Palestine yellow scorpion, Omdurman scorpion, and Naqab desert scorpion. The deathstalker scorpion is primarily found in North Africa and the Middle East, but also occurs in Central Asia, India and Kazakhstan.
They are yellow and grow to around one to three inches in length; the females are the larger gender. These scorpions are nocturnal, and are burrowing creatures, sometimes moving into holes vacated by other beings. Deathstalker scorpions hunt by lying in wait, then striking their prey very quickly.
The deathstalker’s sting is known to be extremely painful, and once the venom penetrates human skin, it can nausea, vomiting, headaches, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps, as well as visible swelling at the sting site. More vulnerable victims, children and the elderly, may also experience convulsions and fluid retention in the lungs. For such persons, death can come by means of heart and respiratory collapse. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
Remipedia are exclusively known from submerged cave systems. The remipedes were first discovered in the 1980s, and named after the Latin for “oar-footed” because of their many pairs of swimming legs.
The species known as Speleonectes tulumensis are undoubtedly venomous crustaceans. The remipede’s venom system is very sophisticated. One set of muscles contracts the creature’s glands, pumping venom into its fangs. A second set of muscles stabs the fangs forwards, while squeezing a duct to prevent the venom from flowing backwards.
Remipede venom consists of big enzymes like peptidases, which destroy other proteins, and chitinases, which break down the chitin in the external skeletons of arthropods. Together, these substances combine to soften the hard shells of the remipede’s prey, and to digest their innards. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
The pink wing stick insect (Sipyloidea sipylus) is a medium-sized, nocturnal, herbivorous invertebrate originally native to Madagascar.
Pink wing stick insects grow 3-4” long, and are almost entirely female in captivity due to parthenogenic reproduction. Like all stick insects, they are designed for optimum camouflage, and this species resembles a twig as adults. The body is light brown and slender, with long, thin limbs and antennae. They are best known for their wings, which are usually pink in color, although they are sometimes white. These wings are fully functional. -

🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
Coral banded shrimp (Stenopus hispidus), commonly known as “Cleaner shrimp”, “Boxer shrimp”, “Barber pole shrimp”, and “Clown shrimp”, is one of the most popular decapods in the marine aquarium trade due to its bright coloration and hardiness.
Coral banded shrimp occur in the Indo-Pacific region, Red Sea and Western Atlantic Ocean, where stocks are heavily collected to satisfy the marine ornamental trade demand.
This species inhabits rocky or coralline areas from a depth of a few centimeters to at least 30 meters.
They are known for their vibrant red and white stripes as well as their bands on their pincer claws. Coral banded shrimp are characterized by very long white antennae and antennules, by bright red bars banding its white body, and by enlarged, chelated, third pereiopods.
These shrimp usually range between 5 – 7 cm (2 – 3 inches).
