Equidae

Equidae

Equids are generally thick-skulked animals with stocky bodies. They are heavily haired, but the length of hair is variable. Most species have a mane on the neck and a lock of hair on the forepart of the head known as a forelock. Some are swift runners : these have long thin limbs with only one functional digit ( mesaxonic ). Equids walk on the tips of their toes ( undergrad ). In the equid foreleg, radius and ulna are united, and the ulna is greatly reduced so that all weight is born on the radius. In the hind leg, the enlarged tibia supports the weight and the fibula is reduced and fused to the tibia.The family became relatively diverse during the Miocene, with many new species appearing. By this time, equids were more truly horse-like, having developed the typical body shape of the modern animals.

Hornet

Hornet

Hornets are wasps of the genus Vespa, closely related to (and resembling) yellowjackets. There are about 20 hornet species. Most live in tropical Asia, but the insects are also found in Europe, Africa, and North America, where the European hornet was introduced by humans.These social insects construct hives by chewing wood into a papery construction pulp. They mature from egg to adult inside the community hive.Queens dominate hornet hives and are the only females to reproduce. Most other hornets are asexual female workers that perform essential community duties such as building the hive, gathering food These insects eat some tree sap but they are also accomplished predators. A hornet hive will eliminate many flies, bees, and other insects.

Dinosaur

Dinosaurs are the main attraction for many of us and the Cretaceous was their heyday. The large carnivores such as Tyrannosaurus Rex and Spinosaurus were thundering about the land, hunting Triceratops and Iguanodons. Flying through the Cretaceous skies were gigantic Pterosaurs and the small proton-birds, descendants of Archeopteryx. Though many Pterosaurs died out in the Jurassic Extinction, those that were left grew to tremendous size.Since the first dinosaur  fossils were recognized in the early 19th century, mounted fossil dinosaur skeletons or replicas have been major attractions at museums around the world, and dinosaurs have become a part of world culture.Their diversity, the large sizes of some group and their seemingly monstrous and fantastic nature have captured the interest and imagination.

Fly

Fly

Crane flies are insects in the family Tipulidae. Adults are very slender, long-legged flies that may vary in length from 2–60 millimeters (0.079–2.4 in) (tropical species may exceed 100 millimeters or 3.9 in).
In the United Kingdom, Ireland and Newfoundland they are commonly referred to as daddy long-legs, but this name can also refer to two unrelated arthropods: members of the arachnid order Opiliones (especially in the United States and Canada) and the cellar spider Pholcidae (especially in Australia). The larvae of the European Crane Fly are commonly known as Leather jackets. These larvae can cause damage to lawns by feeding on the roots of grass plants.We are engaged in offering expert solutions to our clients for these social insects called Ants that can be found any where let it be lawn, homes
