Naucoridae is a small family of insects commonly known as the creeping water bugs and saucer bugs. They are similar in appearance and behavior to Belostomatidae (giant water bugs), but considerably smaller, at 0.5–2 cm (0.2–0.8 in) long. Naucoridae are found around the world, but the greatest diversity is in tropical regions.
Trombidiidae, also known as red velvet mites, true velvet mites, [2] or rain bugs, are small arachnids (eight-legged arthropods) found in plant litter and are known for their bright red color. While adults are typically no more than 4 mm (0.16 in) in length, some species can grow larger and the largest, including the African Dinothrombium ...
Berytidae is a family of the order Hemiptera ("true bugs"), commonly called stilt bugs [2] or thread bugs [3] (not to be confused with the thread-legged bugs, Emesinae).Most berytids are brown to yellow, with species that are plant sap feeders, a few being predaceous.
Young centipedes have four pairs of legs when they are hatched. They gain a new pair with the first molting, and two pairs with each of their five subsequent moltings. Adults with 15 pairs of legs retain that number through three more molting stages (sequence 4-5-7-9-11-13-15-15-15-15 pairs). [8]
Adult froghoppers jump from plant to plant; some species can jump up to 70 cm (28 in) vertically: a more impressive performance relative to body weight than fleas. The froghopper can accelerate at 4,000 m/s 2 (13,000 ft/s 2 ) over 2 mm (0.079 in) as it jumps (experiencing over 400 gs of acceleration). [ 6 ]
