WHAT DO ANTS LOOK LIKE?
Ants are small insects. Like all insects, ants have six legs. The smallest
ants are 0,7 millimeters long. Therefore they are hard to see. The biggest ants
are almost 1 inch (3 centimeters) long.
Ant’s body seems to have a very thin waist. The narrow waist lets the ant
bend when it goes around turns in underground tunnels. Male ants and young
queen ants have wings. The workers of many species of ants have a stinger for
fighting against enemies.
An ant has a mouth with three parts. The most important part is jaws. The
jaws can be used for carrying things, collecting food, building nests, fighting
and cutting. Ants use their lower jaws for chewing and their tongues for
sucking up liquids.
Adult ants can swallow only liquid foods, but some ants can chew solid
foods by making the foods into liquid forms.

Butterflies are a type of insect with large and often colorful wings. They start out
as eggs. They lay their eggs on leaves. The eggs hatch into caterpillars with tubular
body. The caterpillar eats leaves, buds, or flowers of plants.
When a caterpillar is full sized, it goes into another stage called chrysalis.
Caterpillars attach themselves to something solid before becoming a chrysalis. The
caterpillar inside the chrysalis changes into a butterfly. Some butterflies make the
change in one week. Some others take years to change.
When the change is complete, the adult butterfly splits the chrysalis. The insect
unfolds its wings and pumps blood and air into them. It spreads out the wings until
they become dry and harder. The beautiful butterfly then flies to get nectar from
flowers. Most butterflies live only for one or two weeks.

that looks like leaves. Together they make up the order of insect called Phasmatodea.
There are around 3,000 species of insect in this order.
Stick bugs vary in size. Some are as small as half in inch long while others can
grow to just over a foot long. Counting their outstretched legs, the longest females
can reach up to 22 inches long!
Stick bugs are some of the best camouflaged animals in the animal kingdom.
Some can change colors to match the tree or leave in the background. Others not only
look like sticks but have other features that mimic the branches of trees. Many also
look like a twig blowing in the wind.
Some stick bugs have wings. They may be bright colored. When a predator
comes near the stick bugs they may open their bright wings and then close them again
to confuse the predator.

Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, and are known for their
role in pollination and for producing honey and beeswax. There are nearly 20,000
known species of bees in nine recognized families though many are indescribable and
the actual number is probably higher. They are found on every continent except
Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering
plants.
Bees have a long proboscis (a complex "tongue") that enables them to obtain the
nectar from flowers. They have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments
in males and 12 in females, as is typical for the super family. Bees all have two pairs
of wings, the hind pair being the smaller of the two; in a very few species, one sex or
caste has relatively short wings that make flight difficult or impossible, but none are
wingless.
The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a sting less bee whose workers are about 2.1 mm
(5/64") long. The largest bee in the world is Megachile Pluto, a leaf cutter bee whose
females can attain a length of 39 mm (1.5"). Members of the family Halictidae, or
sweat bees, are the most common type of bee in the Northern Hemisphere, though
they are small and often mistaken for wasps or flies.

Firefly or Lightning Bug Photinus pyralis
The Pyralis firefly also known as the lightning bug is a common firefly in
North America. This partly nocturnal, luminescent beetle is the most common
firefly in the USA.
At night, the very end (the last abdominal segment) of the firefly glows a
bright yellow-green color. The firefly can control this glowing effect. The
brightness of a single firefly is 1/40 of a candle. Fireflies use their glow to
attract other fireflies. Males flash about every five seconds; females flash
about every two seconds. This firefly is harvested by the biochemical industry
for the organic compunds luciferin which is the chemical the firefly uses for
its bioluminescence.
This flying insect is about 0.75 inch (2 cm) long. It is mostly black, with
two red spots on the head cover; the wing covers and head covers are lined in
yellow. Like all insects, it has a hard exoskeleton, six jointed legs, two
antennae, compound eyes, and the part of firelfy body are the head, thorax,
and abdomen.
Both the adults and the larvae are carnivores. They eat other insects
(including other fireflies), insect larvae, and snails.

Grasshopper
Grasshoppers are insect that can hop, walk and fly. Many male
grasshoppers make noise by rubbing their back legs together. There are about
10.000 different species of grasshoppers.
Grasshoppers undergo simple (or incomplete) metamorphosis. It
consists of 3 stages; eggs hatch into nymphs, which look like little adults
without wings and reproductive organs. Nymphs molt many times as they grow
to be adults.
Like all insects, the grasshoppers have a three-body (head, thorax and
abdomen), six jointed legs, two pairs of wings and two antennae. Their bodies
are covered with a hard exoskeleton. Grasshoppers breathe through a series of
holes called spiracles; they are located along the sides of the body. Most
grasshoppers are green, brown and olive-green. The biggest ones are about 4.5
inches (11.5 cm) long. The long hind legs are used for hopping. The short front
legs are used to hold prey and to walk.
Grasshoppers eat plants. Their predators include birds, nettles rodents,
reptiles and spiders. Flies also eat grasshoppers’ legs.

Mosquitoes are insects in the family Culicidae. They have a pair of scaled
wings, a pair of halteres, a slender body, and long legs. The females of most
mosquito species suck blood (hematophagy) from other animals, which has
made them the most deadly disease vector known, killing millions of people
over thousands of years and continuing to kill millions per year by
the spread of diseases.
Length varies but is rarely greater than 16 mm (0.6 inch), and weight up
to 2.5 mg (0.04 grain). A mosquito can fly for 1 to 4 hours continuously at up
to 1–2 km/h travelling up to 10 km in a night. Most species are nocturnal or
crepuscular (dawn or dusk) feeders. During the heat of the day most
mosquitoes rest in a cool place and wait for the evenings. They may still bite
if disturbed. Mosquitos are adept at infiltration and have been known to find
their way into homes via deactivated air conditioning units.

TAWNY OWL
The tawny owl is nocturnal, so you are more likely to hear its hooting
call than to actually see the bird. It lives mainly in woodland and farmland, but
can also be found in parks and cities.
The tawny owl hunts at night. Its excellent hearing means it can locate
prey in complete darkness. Using sound, the owl slowly turns its head to detect
the position of the prey before swooping down and catching it with sharp
talons. The owl uses its sharp beak to tear up the food.
Owls eat lots of different food, depending on where they live. Those
living in woodland areas tend to eat small rodents, worms and beetles. Nearer
towns and cities, owls will eat small birds and have been known to take fish
from garden ponds.
The female tawny owl lays two to five eggs. She sits on the eggs one at
a time, which means that they hatch at intervals. Once they have hatched, the
female sits on the chicks whilst the male brings food.

Transportation is a familiar thing in our ears. Because since a long time people
in the world have used them to get to their destination. Along with advances in
technology, transportation continues to grow and progress. Transportation is an
important prerequisite for economic growth in the developing world. There are three
types of transportation in the world. Those three type are land transportation, sea
transportation and air transportation.
There are many kinds of land transportation, such as of motorcycles, cars,
buses, and trains. Each of these have advantages and shortage. For example, a
motorcycle,with a motorcycle we can be more free to go anywhere with a faster time
because it is not stuck in traffic. But motorcycles can only be used for one or two
people. If we want to land transportation who can for the masses, we can use a car or
bus.
Next is a sea transportation. Sea transportation that is commonly used is the
ship. Ships become alternative choice for those who must cross the ocean to get to the
destination. Besides that, the boat ticket price is also affordable. But not for a cruise.
If we want to get to a destination that is so far with a short time then air
transport is the answer. With air transportation such as airplanes we can cover long
distances with a faster time than the use of transportation by land or sea.
62. Why do not people use motorcycles for the masses transportations?
A. They can not go anywhere with affordable tickets
B. They can not go anywhere with a faster time

Ojek
Ojek “motorcycle taxis” began appearing after becak were banned in the early
1990s. Ojek service began as grassroots entrepreneurs saw an opportunity to provide
a transportation options for people who used to use becak from main roads into
housing complexes.
By law all motorcycle passengers should wear helmets, so ojek drivers should have a
spare for you to wear. Ojek tend to congregate at intersections on main roads and near
smaller roads that are not serviced by bus routes. Ladies have a careful balancing act
if wearing a dress and must sit sidewise on the back of the vehicle. Bargain before
you get on - ask a local what the price should be first. Payment is in cash and the
drivers won't have change for larger bills.
Over the last couple of years as the traffic situation,Ojek has become extremely
challenging.A modern, more professional alternative to the individual ojek has
appeared. Companies such as is Go-Jek, Grab Bike and Yellow Bike have developed
an organized Ojek network that allows you to order an Ojek from your phone. They
can be ordered to transport yourself, pick up a meal from a restaurant or deliver goods
and documents. Their computerized system uses transparent pricing which reduces
the uncertainty of the costs involved. Many people are using these services as
transportation time is greatly reduced.

Trains
Trains are very important to transportation. Trains carry freight and people to places
all over the world .Freight trains haul goods. Passenger trains carry people. All trains
run on tracks.
A train made up of railroad cars hooked together and pulled by a locomotive.
Locomotives are sometimes called engine. Locomotives push or pull railroad cars.
They have powerful motors. The motors turn locomotive wheels that run on railroad
tracks. All trains run on tracks. Freight trains haul goods. Passenger trains carry
people.
. Some locomotives get their power from electricity. The electricity comes from
wire above the track or from a special third rail next to the track. Other locomotives
get their power from diesel fuel, which is similar to the gasoline that most cars use.
The kind of locomotive engines most used today are diesel-electrics. Engines that
burn diesel fuel drive generators that make electricity. Powerful electric motors turn
the wheels of a diesel-electric locomotive.
A freight car is part of a train which carries goods. A freight train can have as
many as 200 cars hooked together. There are special railroad cars for different kinds
of freight.
The boxcar has four sides, a floor, and a root. It looks like a box on wheels.

cold inside. Refrigerator cars carry meat, fruit, frozen dinner, and other food that must
be kept cold.
The hopper car is open on the top. Hopper cars carry coal, sand, gravel, and ore
(rocks that contain metals). Hopper cars are easy to unload because they have doors
on the bottom. The doors open and the coal, sand, or gravel pours out.
A flatcar has no top or sides. It has a floor on wheels. Flat cars carry lumber,
steel beams, huge pieces of machinery, and other big items. Lifting machines called
cranes load cargo onto flat cars. Special flatcars carry cars, boats, and trucks.
A tank car carries liquids or gases in a big, round tank that is lying on its side.
Tank cars can carry milk, gasoline, or oil. Some tank cars carry dangerous chemicals.
Passenger cars have seats in rows along each side. Some passenger cars are
made for long trips. They have seats that can be made into beds at night. Trains that
carry passengers over long distances have special baggage cars it carry suitcases.
They have dining cars where people can sit down and eat.

Tulips are spring-blooming perennials that grow from bulbs. The tulip’s large
flowers usually bloom on scopes. Most tulips produce only one flower per stem,
but a few species bear multiple flowers on their scopes.
The showy, generally cup- or star-shaped tulip flower has three petals and
three sepals, which are often, termed petals because they are nearly identical.
Tulip plants can grow as short as 10 cm or as high as 71 cm. Tulip flowers
come in a wide variety of colors, except pure blue. Tulip stems have few leaves.
Plants typically have 2 to 6 leaves, with some species having up to 12. The tulip’s
leaf is strap-shaped, with a waxy coating, and leaves are alternately arranged on
the stem.
During the Ottoman Empire, the tulip became very popular in Ottoman
territories and was seen as a symbol of abundance. In fact, the era during which
the Ottoman Empire was wealthiest is often called the Tulip era or LaleDevri in
Turkish. In classic and modern Persian literature, special attention has been given
to these beautiful flowers.
