Mayflies have ancestral traits that were probably present in the first flying insects, such as long tails and wings that do not fold flat over the abdomen. Their immature stages are aquatic fresh water forms (called "naiads" or " nymphs "), whose presence indicates a clean, unpolluted and highly oxygenated aquatic environment.

[ 141 ] [ 146 ] herbivore : birds that predominantly eat plant material, and mostly do not eat meat; especially of birds that are both granivorous and frugivorous or are grass eaters, such as whistling ducks ...
Most garter snakes have a pattern of yellow stripes on a brown background and their average length is about 1 to 1.5 meters (3.3 to 4.9 ft). The common garter snake is a diurnal snake. In summer, it is most active in the morning and late afternoon; in cooler seasons or climates, it restricts its activity to the warm afternoons.
Fish-eating birds use beaver ponds for foraging, and in some areas, certain species appear more frequently at sites where beavers were active than at sites with no beaver activity. [ 64 ] [ 87 ] [ 88 ] In a study of Wyoming streams and rivers, watercourses with beavers had 75 times as many ducks as those without. [ 89 ]
The heaviest of this widespread, varied complex of insects is the Little Barrier Island giant weta, Deinacrida heteracantha, of New Zealand; one specimen weighed 71 g (2.5 oz) and measured nearly 10 cm (3.9 in), [2] giving it one of the largest insect weights ever known. These heavyweight insects can be over 9 cm (3.5 in) long. [8]

Such 9 V batteries in a single package do exist but are rare and only usually found in specialist applications; they can be referred to as 3CR1/3N. However, 2CR1/3N, a 6 V battery consisting internally of a stack of two CR1/3N and standardized by ANSI as 1406LC and by IEC as 2CR13252 (though some datasheets state it as 2CR11108 instead), is ...
