Look at that! These damn beetles. They're everywhere.

Bertie Beetle

Hey, who's the beetle?

Call that beetle.

This beetle, unlike this chip bag here, this beetle uses one material, chitin.

The beetle or what is this?

This beetle can detect a forest fire at 80 kilometers away.

Turning rocks over revealed this crab spider grappling with a beetle.

The Beatles did not invent teenagers.

And finally never ever join the Beatles.

These goliath beetles are wired in their wings.

Oh, groping about in the cellar, like an angry old beetle.

This is the Namibian fog basking beetle, and it's evolved a way of harvesting its own fresh water in a desert.

If the wind blows them over, they're like beetles stuck there on the ground.

To hear that beetle talk... you'd think somethin' was gonna happen to us.

Currently, there is only 1 carbamate and less than 5 organophosphate insecticides available on the public health market for indoor residual spraying as alternatives to DDT and pyrethroids.

Because if you look closely at the beetle's shell, there are lots of little bumps on that shell.

Now wouldn't you know it, there's some beetles that just love to make love at that temperature.

I'll give you two examples.

Let's start with Beatle mania hysterical teenagers, crying, screaming, pandemonium.

unfortunate scruff.

So when the moist breeze blows in off the sea, you get these droplets of water forming on the beetle's shell.

It may turn out to be something that looks a little like that amoeba.

You poor soul.

Here you can see the adult, black, and two young ones.

I hate all wretched people!

You wretch, scoundrel.

And this one is evolved to mimic a glossy metallic surface you see on some beetles.

These bacteria in turn support a variety of worms, mollusks, crustaceans and other animals.

But I'm no sucker.

The millennium bug, terrible disaster.

There was a guy called Dick Rowe who was at Decca Records and turned down The Beatles.

Larvicides New larvicides, such as microbial products or insect development inhibitors (IDI), are now available that are more environmentally friendly.

The Pesticides Board may also impose additional conditions for the registration of certain pesticides.

And then at the back of the greenhouse, it condenses a lot of that humidity as freshwater in a process that is effectively identical to the beetle.

To scare me!

Poor devils. You're right, Ugarte.

The poor darling was so shortsighted, he could barely see the end of the racket...

Theses larvicides can be used to treat well identified and accessible larval breeding sites, especially within urban environments (mostly man made).

Little Worm

Forget the herbs, you poor wretch.

They only have bedbugs.

Pity you didn't pay attention at school, Wallace.

And this is an x ray picture of a real beetle, and a Swiss watch, back from '88. You look at that what was true then is certainly true today.

Insecticides (adulticides) There is no new insecticide available or in the pipeline that could be used for residual spraying, and none is expected for the foreseeable future unless urgent action is taken.
