Description- About 1.5 mm in length six jointed legs four wings (most) 3 body sections: head, thorax, abdomen Exoskeleton made of chitin- nonliving protein-carbohydrate compound secreted by arthropods Small, harmless, parasitic wasp- unable to sting humans Found around world, in U.S. located in South Eastern states- mud dauber wasp location

WOWBugSpider Human Kingdom Animalia PhylumArthropoda ”jointed foot” Arthropoda Chordata- has backbone ClassInsectArachnid Mammalia- nurse young Melittobia digitata
5
Movement- 1. Walking/crawling 2. Hopping- used to surprise predator 3. Flying- rarely, too light
6
Cellular Respiration SPIRACLES- used for gas exchange
7
Respond to Environment 2. Attracted to light and like to crawl upward 1. Play dead - used to escape predators 3. Grooming
8
Reproduction 95 % of population female 1.Asexual- -parthenogenesis -No male required, chemical released allows fertilization to occur -Few eggs produced, usually develop into males that mate with other females 2. Sexual- - requires a male for fertilization, 800 eggs produced 95% female
9
Female vs Male

Mud Dauber Wasp Pupa
11
18-25 days total 14 days as adult- do not feed parasite
12
Summarizing 8 Life Processes 1. Made of Cells- The WOWBug is multicellular because it consists of many different body parts. Each part has different cells. Reflection 1.In this unit I learned about parthenogenesis. This is a form of asexual reproduction used by a WOWBug to help prevent extinction.
