humans.More than 100 different variations of Bt toxin have been identified in diverse strains ofBacillus thuringiensis. The different variations have different target insect specificity. For example‚ the toxins classified under Cry1a group target Lepidoptera (butterflies)‚ while toxins in the Cry3 group are effective against beetles.Researchers have used genetic engineering to take the bacterial genes needed to produce Bt toxins and introduce them into plants. If plants produce Bt toxin on their own

and thousands of new ones are described each year. They are commonly grouped in 27 to 32 orders‚ depending upon the classification used. The largest order is that of the beetles (Coleoptera). Next‚ in order of size‚ are the moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera); the wasps ‚ ants ‚ and bees (Hymenoptera); and the flies and mosquitoes (Diptera). Other major orders are the true bugs (Hemiptera); the cicadas ‚ aphids ‚ and scale insects (Homoptera); the grasshoppers and crickets (Orthoptera); the cockroaches

Description Diagnosis: The presence of yellow spots on the flanks and upper surfaces of legs make Ameerega flavopicta distinguishable from other members of Ameerega. It also has a larger tympanum then other members of Ameerega (Haddad and Martins 1994). Description: A. flavopicta ranges from 21.4 to 30.5 mm SVL.‚ males are being smaller than females‚ with granular skin. This speciesey has verelatively small finger and toe discs‚ andwith the first finger isbeing slightly longer than the second (Haddad

of research is being done about these insects. Helicoverpa zea is the true scientific name‚ but the insects are referred to by a variety of names including corn earworms‚ cotton bollworm‚ soybean pod worm‚ etc. Corn earworms are members of the Lepidoptera order and the Noctuidae family. This classification‚ among other characteristics‚ is based upon their ability to go through complete metamorphosis and habit of flying at night. Eggs are small with a grey or light brown coloring.

Evolutionary convergence is the process by which unrelated or distantly related organisms of different lineages evolve similar smorphology‚ organs‚ and adaptations‚ but that were not present in the last common ancestor of those groups. Evolutionary convergence involving unrelated organisms living in similar environments but in different places or even in different environments.
