LIFE CYCE OF INSECTS and ANTS AND TERMITES

Image
In villages very often large number of ants will fly around. We have been told (folk or grandma tale) that ants develop wings towards the end of their life and die soon. In schools we have been told about insect life cycle and the standard Egg – Larva – Pupa – Adult was taught. Examples were Butterfly and Silkworm. Recently I wanted to check if all the entomology can be covered by this one concept. Recently ants in large numbers were moving both inside and outside our house in Mysuru. Some were extra large. Then I checked in the Internet . The result is given in the pictures here. ANT (TERMITE) lifecycle is different. Extra info : Largest size is the Queen Ant, Other smaller winged ones are male. These males die leaving wings spread all over.     LIFE CYCE OF INSECTS     LIFE CYCE OF INSECTS ( ANTS AND TERMITES)

Who Has Seen the Wind? BY CHRISTINA ROSSETTI

  Who Has Seen the Wind? BY  CHRISTINA ROSSETTI    Who has seen the wind?    Neither I nor you:   But when the leaves hang trembling,     The wind is passing through.     Who has seen the wind?   Neither you nor I:   But when the trees bow down their heads,   The wind is passing by.

Why is "I" capitalized?

  Why is "I" capitalized? "Ego has nothing to do with the capitalization of the pronoun  I . Printing and handwriting have everything to do with it. In Middle English the first person was  ich --with a lower-case  i . When this was shortened to  i , manuscript writers and printers found it often got lost or attached to a neighboring word. So the reason for the capital  I  is simply to avoid confusion and error. Of course, some writers refuse to be bound by this convention. Two of our favorites, the poet e.e. cummings and Don Marquis, author of archy and mehitabel, both favored the lower-case  i " ( Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins  303).

description of science by Richard P. Feynman:

  description of science by Richard P. Feynman :   Science is a way to teach how something gets to be known, what is not known, to what extent things are known (for nothing is known absolutely), how to handle doubt and uncertainty, what the rules of evidence are, how to think about things so that judgments can be made, how to distinguish truth from fraud, and from show.   The past is history, The future is a mystery and now is a gift. That's why we call it the present   If I have seen a little farther than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants.   Sir Isaac Newton

Proverbs

  Everyday is not Sunday . Every dog has Its day. Health is wealth . Strike when the iron is hot . A friend in need is a friend indeed . All that glitters is not gold. Something is better than nothing. Affection blinds reason . Better late than never. Cleanliness is godliness. Doing is better than saying. Every cloud has a silver lining. Forgive and forget. No pain, No gain.     Old habits die hard. (Old dogs cannot be trained) Practice makes perfect. Mathematics is the queen of all sciences . Rome was not built in a day. Silence is golden . Think before you ink. Union is strength. Variety is the spice of   life. Where there is a will, there is a way You will reap as you sow Zeal without skill is useless. A bad excuse is better than none.
