I had a caterpillar crawl up the side of my garage door jam and decided to park his larva and make his cocoon right in the way of the door and if I open it, it will smash it and my daughter won't let me do that. I can't tell if it made it or not, it has a part of the caterpillar part sticking out of the cocoon but it looks like a shedding and the cocoon is completely closed. It has been over two weeks now and I nned to get in my garage.

The length of these journeys far exceeds the lifetime of a Monarch (lives four days as egg, two weeks as caterpillar, ten days as chrysalis, and two to six weeks as a butterfly). \n\n\nMetamorphosis\nThe life cycle of a Monarch includes a change of form called complete metamorphosis. The Monarch goes through four radically different stages:\n\nThe eggs are laid by the females during spring and summer breeding months. \nThe eggs hatch, revealing worm-like larva, the caterpillars. The caterpillars consume their egg cases, then feed on milkweed, and sequester substances called cardenolides, related to the cardiac glycoside digitalis. During the caterpillar stage, Monarchs store energy in the form of fat and nutrients to carry them through the non-feeding pupa stage. \nIn the pupa or chrysalis stage, the caterpillar spins a silk pad on a twig, leaf, etc. and hangs from this pad by its last pair of prolegs. It hangs upside down in the shape of a 'J', and then molts, leaving itself encased in an articulated green exoskeleton. At this point, hormonal changes occur, leading to the development of a butterfly. \nThe mature butterfly emerges after about two weeks.

i've only seen baby mols and theyre adorable.  My moles never survive past that cause now i hvae a cat but i used to have a bad mole problem you would step around certain laces in your yard and it would sink because theyres a tunnel under you. I hat them but then again we did take away their environment.

The head of Death is right at the top of the moth, I actually have one right now. It's still a caterpillar, buried itself under some soil. It stays and cuccoons for about 2 or 3 weeks until it's ready to fly and search for nectar and honey to eat, they're very cool:)

Sounds like moles, go to the hardware store and get more traps,  It is like a gian pouse trap you put it in their hole it catches and kills them.

Is there any "rotting" around the wound? If so, it is a Brown Recluse otherwise known as a "Fiddle Back" (the back looks like a fiddle or violin). If you couldn't tell, is there a "lump" anywhere near the point of origin? If so, there is no cure. Fluids, rest, and fluids for it it is the bite of The Black Widow. Check with the forest ranger where you were, your parents who know the land , or any group you might be with. After my daughter was bit by a Black Widow, I bought a spider book and what to do. Also, check in the area you are in; in the continental USA, two spiders cause problems. The brown recluse and the black widow. Caution: I have seen "Albino Widows". They are white with a brown hourglass.

Snails are not like a hermit crab, which can go from one shell to another. I'm sorry to say that your snail friend may not be OK, after being dropped. I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it here. The only two options I see are these; release the snail back into nature and let it live out it's life free, or introduce your daughter to escargot.\nBest of luck in your cause here.

caterpillars don't reproduce.\n\ncaterpillars is part of a stage of becoming a butterfly. Really, they are kids, and when they become a cocoon, they are teenagers. When they emerge out of their cocoon, they are like adults.\n\nIn other words, caterpillars are not ready to reproduce, or they aren't so developed yet.\n\nYet the only way the caterpillar population increases is if more butterflies make more eggs that will soon become caterpillars.

Of course you don't want your baby crawling around with insects or insects crawling on your baby!  I would advise you to contact the housing code or zone enforcement people - not sure what name they would be under in your area - the people who would condemn a building - that's the agency you want to contact.  That agency also makes landlords bring their buildings up to code.  The one time I did this over broken windows during the winter - the rental ended up being so bad that they made landlord fix it first which meant we had to move out within a month.  Don't put this off - I agree with your wife!  (What other insects are there that you might not be seeing also?)  GOOD LUCK!

"won't you come into my parlor?",said the spider to the fly. the tricky spider is pretty clever,isn't he? he knows the fly will be caught and he'll be able to scamper along and have himself a nice meal!\n       but if the sticky web clings to the fly and traps him,why doesn't it cling to the spider? the answer to this will surprise you. it does! a spider can be caught just as easily in his own web as a fly is.\n       the reason this doesn't happen is that the spider is "at home" in his own web. he knows his way around. and when the web was spun originally, the spider made sure that there would be "safe" threads to use, threads he could touch without sticking to them.\n      there are many kinds of silk that a spider produces. the sticky kind is used in the web to catch its prey. but there is also a non-sticky kind, and this is used to make the strong, supporting spokes of the web. the spider knows which is which, and he simply avoids the sticky ones! he can do this because he has a remarkable sense of touch.

I don't know but why you find out let me know. The other day I found one and I had to throw something over it to trap it and wait 5 hours until my husband got home to kill it. I sat on the couch the whole time with my feet off the floor. My phobia is so bad they make me cry. I'm pathetic lol. They are so freaky!!!

What is the difference between a travios and a brand new prius car? They both are transportation, but what difference. YOU are saying none of those structures would help the beetle in bombarding, but talk to an entomologist and he will explain how this marvel evolved. Think of the eye, in it's" perfection", yet extant in the world are all sorts of eyes that " are structures that exists separately " and are in various percentage stages that are are any where from 5% of an eye to the full human, bird and octopus eye. So we know it does work. I am too tired to go on tonight, so I hope this question attracts more responses.

We were out "camping" in a trailer... My cousin and I spent the whole day fixing it up and making it look nice for the next day when the family would arrive.. Late that night we were fixing something underneath the "sink" and we heard a rustling.. so we were looking around all the cabinets to see what it was.. I opened up the fridge and this HUGE flying squirrell came rushing out and it smacked into my cousin and got caught in the curtains...   it took us 4 hours to get the poor 'lil guy back outside... Then he kept trying to get back in, finally he got the idea and ran off to wherever.

Wow.  This is really gross, but it sounds like burrowing worm.  That just happened to my cat recently.  It didn't look like a wound, just a hole.  I'd have that checked.

My daughter had a bite like that. I took her to the doc and he said it was from an (((((EARWIG))))) which is a bug that lives in trees and has pinchers in the front AND the back of the body so it can bite it's victem twice at the same time. The doc took a skalpel and cut open the pimple looking part of the bite to release the (((((POISON))))) and she was fine. A few weeks later I got bit on my leg by one while I was sleeping and I skipped the doc and lanced it myself. I have two little scars where it had bit me but I got the poison out and I'm fine too. The poison is a yellow/green color. Make sure you get it ALL out or you WILL have to go see a doc. Lance it till you see plain red blood without the yellow/green color.

Might be from the years from crawling around.The best way you could get rid of them is get Coco butter and use it twice a day and they might not go away but it will lighten them.Good Luck!

Almost for certain if you heard a buzzing noise it was a mosquito - they have a really annoying sound after having bitten (or sucked blood).\nIf the "bites" are close together however, it could have been a spider.\nMy grandson was bitten by one last week & there are always two "holes" from the fangs, one usually slightly deeper or bigger than the other.\nDon't worry, even though they can be a bit nasty, they are not deadly (assuming you live in Europe). In Ireland & England there are three major culprits - the Yard Spider which is becoming more aggressive , the Woodlouse spider (female) & the Cellar spider. \nI'd guess the Yard Spider as they are now entering homes. \nIt's unlikely you were stung by a bee or a wasp but I couldn't rule it out. \nJust thoroughly insecticide spray your bedroom , shut the door & windows for a few hours & anything that might bite will have bitten the dust!
