STICKBUG

this is a 3d model of a common and well known kind of insect which is known as a stick bug. they have only 3 stages in their life cycle so unfortunately, it has little time to live life.

1.) EGG STAGE

the eggs are laid by their mother who is at the state of dying since sheis currently near her time. mother lays over 10,00 eggs she will most likely lay her eggs to somewhere with trees and shrubs.

2.) NYMPH

when the egg hatches, it reveals a little tiny stick bug who takes the apperance of, they’re own parents just 10 times smaller. they are a bright, vibrant green and actually eats their own molted self for protection because predators will know that stick bug is somewhere near the molted body. but if the stick bug eats it, predators would never notice.

3.) ADULT

atlas..the final and last stage off the stick insect. now they are are mature and responsible adult. now they can mate and start all over again!

cicadas & wetas

1.) SIMILARITIES & DIFFRENCES

Similarities

a.) they are both a type of insects which means they share the same kingdom! (ANIMALIA)

b.) both cicadas and wetas have exactly 6 legs since they are insects.

c.) in their classification, they both have some things in common. for e.g, their phylum, domain , class and kingdom.

-diffrenences

a.) wetas don’t have the ability to fly while cicadas have a big impact in flying.

b.) wetas are 10 centimetres  and the biggest a cicada is able to be is 2-5 cm. which means wetas are 2x bigger than a cicada.

c.) here in Aotearoa, wetas may commonly be found in grasslands, shrub lands, forests and caves. and cicadas are found in crowded areas like towns and cities.

 2.) habitats

-cicada

a.) i think cicadas might be unsafe in their habitat and my reason? its becasue towns and cities are big and all, but its to crowded and sometimes even you know it or not, it just might get squashed like a pancake! (a disgusting one.) although it just might have a chance of finishing its 1 year cycle. since they have an ability to fly, they just might have a chance! and plus, its a fly. flies are almost im..POSSIBLE! to catch. see this..you see a common house fly and attempt to swat it or catch it. letting you know its a 99% chance you’ll for sure miss it.

-weta

b.) wetas, i think would be safe. they don’t live in crowded areas. just a quiet place to just lay around and do exactly nothing. just a cooling chill place for an insect family to live. and, they’re not the most annoying thing in world history! 🙂

3.) characteristics

Characteristics

a similar type of insect that matches a cicada is a common fly. my first reasoning is because they are both a type of fly species and in fact, they live in the same areas and also incredibly annoying!

listed ver:

• both loud.
• same species.
• both insects.
• both have the ability to fly.

4.) SPIRACLES

Spiracles

i think the reason cicadas have spiracles but not on the interactive is because since cicadas have different types of cicadas whilst wetas dont. so maybe according to my theory is because one or more types of cicadas do and some just don’t.
