The larva develops into the hydroid stage of the lifecycle, a tiny sessile polyp called a scyphistoma. The scyphistoma reproduces asexually, producing similar polyps by budding, and then either transforming into a medusa, or budding several medusae off from its upper surface via a process called strobilation. The medusae are initially ...
Aurelia aurita (also called the common jellyfish, moon jellyfish, moon jelly or saucer jelly) is a species of the family Ulmaridae. [1] [2] All species in the genus are very similar, and it is difficult to identify Aurelia medusae without genetic sampling; [3] most of what follows applies equally to all species of the genus.
Chigger bites appear as small, itchy red bumps that show up in clusters, MedlinePlus explains.The bites may be pimple-like, blister-like or similar to hives.. They typically appear in specific ...
Maggot therapy (also known as larval therapy) is a type of biotherapy involving the introduction of live, disinfected maggots (fly larvae) into non-healing skin and soft-tissue wounds of a human or other animal for the purpose of cleaning out the necrotic (dead) tissue within a wound (debridement), and disinfection. There is evidence that ...
Two ocelli (simple eyes) are present on the top or front of the head. The tarsi are made of three segments. The femora are at front with, at most, weak spines. The hind tibiae have one or more distinct keels, with a row of movable spines on each, sometimes on enlarged bases.
This batch is deposited near water, where the eggs hatch in 5–7 days. The larvae mature in water or soil, [5] where they feed on organic material such as decaying animal and vegetable products. Fly larvae are 1–6 cm (0.39–2.36 in) long and take 1–3 years to mature from egg to adult. [7]
In January 2012, a researcher discovered larvae in the test tube of a dead honey bee believed to have been affected by colony collapse disorder. The larvae had not been there the night before. The larvae were Apocephalus borealis, a parasitoid fly known to prey on bumblebees and wasps. The phorid fly lays eggs on the bee's abdomen, which hatch ...
The L3 larvae develop into adults in the eye or surrounding tissues of the host, where they may live for over one year. In the definitive host, Thelazia have been found in various tissues of the orbit (or socket) of the eye, including within the eyelids, in the tear glands , tear ducts , or the so-called "third eyelid" ( nictitating membrane ...
