Description
Some species are equipped with a pair of glands at the anterior (front) edge of the prothorax that enables the insect to release defensive secretions, including chemical compounds of varying effect: some produce distinct odors, and others can cause a stinging, burning sensation in the eyes and mouth of a predator. [21] The spray often contains pungent-smelling volatile metabolites, previously thought to be concentrated in the insect from its plant food sources. However, it now seems more likely that the insect manufactures its own defensive chemicals. [22] Additionally, the chemistry of the defense spray from at least one species, Anisomorpha buprestoides, has been shown to vary [22] based on the insect's life stage or the particular population it is part of. [23] This chemical spray variation also corresponds with regionally specific color forms in populations in Florida, with the different variants having distinct behaviors. [24] The spray from one species, Megacrania nigrosulfurea, is used as a treatment for skin infections by a tribe in Papua New Guinea because of its antibacterial constituents. [25] Some species employ a shorter-range defensive secretion, where individuals bleed reflexively through the joints of their legs and the seams of the exoskeleton when bothered, allowing the blood ( hemolymph), which contains distasteful compounds, to discourage predators. Another ploy is to regurgitate their stomach contents when harassed, repelling potential predators. [26] Life cycle [ edit ] Mating pair of Anisomorpha buprestoides
When a substance has a negative charge it has an excess number of electrons. That is, the number of electrons in the substance is greater than the number of protons. When a substance has a positive charge it has an excess number of protons. That is, the number of protons in the substance is greater than the number of electrons.

When threatened, some phasmids that are equipped with femoral spines on the metathoracic legs ( Oncotophasma martini, Eurycantha calcarata, Eurycantha horrida, Diapheromera veliei, Diapheromera covilleae, Heteropteryx dilatata) respond by curling the abdomen upward and repeatedly swinging the legs together, grasping at the threat. If the menace is caught, the spines can, in humans, draw blood and inflict considerable pain. [16] a b Hoell, H.V.; Doyen, J.T.; Purcell, A.H. (1998).

It's not surprising though, considering you can hold the controller in both hands quite comfortably and all the functions are at your fingertips. Dossey, Aaron (December 2010).

Phasmids vary greatly in size, with females typically growing larger than males of the same species. [4] Males of the smallest species, such as Timema cristinae, reach about 2 centimetres (0.8in) long, [5] while females of the longest, an undescribed species informally known as Phryganistria "chinensis", is up to 64 centimetres (25in) in total length, including outstretched legs. This makes it the world's longest insect. [6] The heaviest species of phasmid is likely to be Heteropteryx dilatata, the females of which may weigh as much as 65g (2.3oz). [7]
Atoms have an equal amount of protons and electrons. Each electron has a negative charge and each proton has a positive charge. These two charges are equal, which means that each atom has zero net charge. As a result, it is electrically neutral.Like charges repel, which means that electrons repel other electrons and protons repel other protons. In addition, unlike charges attract which means that electrons and protons are attracted to each other.
