Any biological species or group of species whose function, population, or status can be used to determine ecosystem level or environmental integrity. An example of such a group of organisms is copepods and other small water crustaceans present in many water bodies.\n\nCopepods are a group of small crustaceans found in the sea and nearly every freshwater habitat. Many species are planktonic, but more are benthic, and some continental species may live in limno-terrestrial habitats and other wet terrestrial places, such as swamps, under leaf fall in wet forests, bogs, springs, ephemeral ponds and puddles, damp moss, or water-filled recesses (phytothelmata) of plants such as bromeliads and pitcher plants. Many live underground in marine and freshwater caves, sinkholes, or stream beds. Some copepods are parasitic and attach themselves to fish, sharks, marine mammals, and many kinds of invertebrates such as molluscs, tunicates, or corals.\n\nCopepods form a subclass belonging to the subphylum Crustacea (crustaceans). Some authors consider the copepods to be a full class. The group contains ten orders with some 14,000 described species. A scientist that studies copepods is a copepodologist.\n\nCopepods are very important food organisms for small fish, whales, and other crustaceans such as krill in the ocean and in fresh water. They are typically 1-2 mm long. They feed directly on phytoplankton, catching cells singly. Some scientists say they form the largest animal biomass on earth. They compete for this title with Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba).\n\nCopepods are sometimes found in the public mains water supply, especially systems where the water is not filtered, such as New York City and Boston, Massachusetts. This is not usually a problem in treated water supplies. In some tropical countries, such as Peru and Bangladesh, a correlation has been found between copepods and cholera in untreated water, because the cholera bacteria attach to the surfaces of planktonic animals. The risk of cholera from infected water can be reduced by filtering out the copepods (and other matter), for example with a cloth filter.\n\nMany species have neurons surrounded by myelin, which is very rare among invertebrates (other examples are some annelids and malacostracan crustaceans like palaemonid shrimp and penaeids). Even rarer is the fact that the myelin is highly organized, resembling the well-organized wrapping found in vertebrates (Gnathostomata).\n\nSome copepods are very evasive and can jump with extreme speed over a few millimeters (warning: takes some time to load to the correct speed):\n\n \nSlow-motion macrophotography video (50%) of juvenile Atlantic herring (38 mm) feeding on copepods - the fish approach from below and catch each copepod individually. In the middle of the image a copepod escapes successfully to the left.This scene was scanned with the ecoSCOPE, an underwater high speed microscope. Because clupeids (herrings) and copepods are both significant in terms of global biomass, this is the first record of what is one of the largest carbon flows of any animal food-chain transition in the oceans. It is a predator / prey relationship running at extreme speeds, with chances for both sides. Very little is known about the details, in spite of its importance for global processes, because copepods are difficult to keep in the laboratory and lose most of their escape capacity, and herring are very fast, alert and evasive organisms and flee normal camera systems or SCUBA divers. Oceanographers point out the importance of learning more about the influences of physical parameters, such as light, pollution or temperature, or the effects of hunting in a swarm. This copepod-herring relationship has implications for the fate of carbon in marine systems. If the copepod 'wins' (escapes), much carbon will sink with its fecal pellets into the depth of the oceans (see biological pump), sequestering carbon dioxide in the benthos. If the herring

Insects are defined as the entirety of class Insecta, and there are about 925,000 different species--more than half of all animal species.  Flies are defined as members of order Diptera, which number about 200,000, and they are a subset of insects.  Mosquitoes are members of the family Culicidae, and are also Dipterans, so they are themselves flies.  There are about 3500 species of mosquito.

Bioinformatics is using computer to analyse bio-data. Such as a huge data base of human genome, or what they are working on now - the human proteome. \n\nBiotechnology is a really wide topic, can include gene manipulation, amplification, forensics etc etc. Such as putting a jelly fish glow gene into a mice so it glows in dark. Really cool stuff. Protein manipulations, etc etc etc

...and some insects visit only specific animals. It's known as coevolution - they grew up together over millions of years to the point where some plants can't survive without certain species of insects, and vice versa; and some insects can live only on certain animals (for example, lice).\n\nCoevolution may involve pollination or, as a previously answered, the battle for plants to deter insect feeding by manufacturing secondary metabolites. In this case, insects evolve biochemical pathways to detoxify the feeding deterrents. These interactions eventually become exquisitely complex and, in many cases, exclusive to the species involved. There's alot on the web. Search for coevolution, mutualism, parsitism, symbiosis.

I was going to suggest the same site that Haysoos posted. So I'll just second his advice :-)\nHere are other useful sites for insect identification:\nhttp://www.einsteins-emporium.com/life/animal-info/insects/insect_identification.htm\nhttp://www.projects.ex.ac.uk/bugclub/bugid.html\n\nHere's more information on predatory wasps:\nhttp://www.geocities.com/brisbane_wasps/StingingWasps.htm\n\nAnd many spider-eating wasps belong to family Pompilidae. Here's some info and photos, just in case the one you saw is one of these:\nhttp://bugguide.net/node/view/3919

The answer is (D) the hawk.\n\nThe concept you are asking about is called biological magnification.  As energy flows through the food chain, there is significantly less energy available to each trophic level.  To accommodate, the organisms must eat a higher biomass from the trophic level below it.  Therefore, each level of the food chain accumulates higher amounts of DDT in their system.  Because the hawk is the third-order consumer in the example provided, it will have the highest concentration of DDT.\n\n<edited for spelling>

It's the science that study the life of insects.\n\nThe correct spelling is: entomology.\nAntomology doesn't exists.

You could have looked this up... here are some sites, but I recommend the book Invertebrates by Brusca & Brusca; it has excellent and clear illustrations.\n\nhttp://bugs.bio.usyd.edu.au/Entomology/ExternalMorphology/imagePages/mouth_butterfly.html\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/bgifs/Bflyhead.GIF

Depends on WHAT TYPE of insect you are speaking about.\n\nI do know that there ARE ready-markets for smaller insects like worms, crickets, grasshoppers etc...but really depends on what type and for what you are needing them.\n\nFor instance there are "bug farms" but they only sell to the professionals such as Law Enforcement, Colleges, and Professors, or the Medical field/people....\n\nSo again, really depends, on the type and reason for wanting them.
