fisherwr2 > Ventral view of a scarab beetle showing the lamellate or plate-like antenna, and the compound eye. The white particles on the eye are grains of pollen. Pollen was found on all parts of the insect.
fisherwr2 > Midge (Diptera: Chironomidae) showing plumose antennae characteristic of the male. The feathery antennae provide a tremendous surface area for sensors that are able to detect minute amounts of chemicals produced by the females. Apparently there also are sensors that can detect vibrations in the air produced from wing movements of the female. Both are critical to finding a mating partner. This specimen is about 7 mm long. Midges resemble mosquitoes but do not bite. Midge larvae are similar to mosquito larvae and form an important part of the aquatic food chain.
fisherwr2 > Male glow-worm, Phengodes sp. (Coleoptera: Phengodidae) with short, pointed elytra (hard shell that beetles have) and the incredible antennae. Females are luminescent like fireflies and are often wingless
fisherwr2 > Antenna ball & socket articulation in long-horn beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). The bubbled-like structure that surrounds the socket is the beetle's compound eye
