Class Insecta (L. 1758) (昆虫綱)

= a three-parted body = head + thorax (+ three pairs of legs) + abdomen

Life history (生活史)

Ametabola: no metamorphosis = egg → larva/imago
Hemimetabola: incomplete metamorphosis

egg → larva → nymph nymph → imago(adult)

Fig. Locust life cycle. Notice there are five larval instars and the larva and wing pads (shown as dark patches on the thorax) get bigger after every molt.

Holometabola: complete metamorphosis

= egg → larva → pupa, chrysalis/nymph → imago

Locust Mounds at Teine-Yamaguchi

- Designated historic site of Sapporo -

The Ainu have passed down stories of "swarming of locusts" breaking out every few decades in Hokkaido, even before agriculture spread all over the island. The largest outbreak never recorded occurred in 1980 in the Tokachi district and spread to the Hidaka, Iburi, Shiribeshi, and Oshima districts, causing tremendous damage to agricultural crops through 1885.
These swarms consisted of Locusta migratoria migratoria which devastated the farmers who had just set about reclaiming the land.

The Meiji Government defrayed the expense of controlling the pest, about \50,000 a year, in order to keep the farmers, newcomers to Hokkaido, from abandoning all hope, and also to keep the locusts from migrating across the Tsugaru Straits to Honshu.
At first the Government adopted extermination methods used in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East, which resulted in a number of locust mounds. Now, however, few of these mounds still exist.
The snady ridges found at Teine-Yamaguchi are examples of such locust mounds. It is assumed that an enormous amount of egg castings was collected within an 8 km radius of Sapporo and was laid in about 100 rows on the barren sandy ground, probably in 1883. Then, each row was covered with 25 cm or more of sand raked up from the sides of rows. In 1967, a part of this area was presented to the City of Sapporo by Tokyo Takuchi Ltd. and it is preserved here now. It was designated a historic site by the City of Sapporo on August 21 1978.

Mosquito (カ)

2
[1] A knee of Dr. Sato on July 14, 1995, when we surveyed vegetation on ice wedges along Kolyma River. Since I took the photo after many mosquitos escaped, the enemies were not so many. [2] It was fine weather near Kolyma River on July 18, 1995. I measured methane flux with Drs. Sato and formely JR Hokkaido Campaign Girl. We prepared so-called fully-protective wear, including mosquito netting, raincoat, thick gloves, and rubber boots.

Action

Fully protective wear is the best way for health, although we feel sunsick. However, we are exhausted for a short time as if we took a sauna.
We usually put DEET (C₁₂H₁₇NO), that is a super-strong rejectant, on our skins when we stay in Alaska. DEET melts plastic. In fact, a band of my wristwatch was denatured. However, we can not stop using DEET like a drug after we understand the overwhelming efficacy.
Although we should seek immediate medical attention if the symptom is serious, we may not be able to go any clinics ASAP when we stay in the study sites. It is better that we should prepare accurate medicines.

Bee/Wasp (ハチ)

Most bees (wasps and hornets) do not always sting people. However, bees may attack people to protect their nests. Watch out during the Bon holidays and fall when the colony size of hornets increases in the nest.

Differences between bee and wasp

	bee	both	wasp
Stinger	honeybee workers: stinger is pulled from the abdomen other bees: live to sting again	have backward-pointed barbs on stinger to penetrate victim	small barbs; stinger can be removed from victim; wasp lives to sting again
Body	rounder body, usually appears hairy	narrow junction between thorax and abdomen	usually slender and smooth
Leg	hairy		few hairs
Food	feed on pollen and nectar		predators or parasites of other insects, or scavengers

I poked something like a dung by a stick in Abashiri, because I thought the insects around the dung were flies. I was slow to realize that it was wasp! Oh boy.
