Black Widows

Female is one-half inch long; shiny black, with hourglass-shaped red mark on underside of abdomen. Can be found almost anywhere, indoors or out; prefer to build their nests close to the ground.

Termites are major detritivores, particularly in the subtropical and tropical regions, and their recycling of wood and other plant matter is of considerable ecological importance. Termites are sometimes called “white ants”, though they are not closely related to true ants.

Bed Bugs

The name ‘bedbug’ is derived from the insect’s preferred habitat of houses and especially beds or other areas where people sleep. Bedbugs, though not strictly nocturnal, are mainly active at night and are capable of feeding unnoticed on their hosts.

Silverfish

Silverfish are always wingless and are silvery to brown in color because their bodies are covered with fine scales. They are generally soft bodied.
