Which of the following insects are wingless?
A. Pediculus
B. Cimex
C. Lepisma
D. All of the above
Solution
Many populations of insects have no wings, so wingless subsets are rare. Many wingless insects represent insect typical species with wings. Apterygota is a subclass of small, agile insects which in their present and evolutionary history, differ from other insects due to their lack of wings.
Complete answer:
The Pediculus is small wingless flattened bugs with three parts of the body namely the body; the head, thorax, and abdomen. Any forming pattern of lice of the head can be attached to or grasped by the head hair directly, particularly just on your neck and behind your ears and the ears. These are highly site-specific and have often started to move back to head.
Bed bugs are insects that belong to the Cimex genus. These bugs have 3 to 9mm in length and often have flat reddish-brown structures with small defective wings and a wide variety of health effects such as skin infections, psychological consequences, and allergic symptoms (that do not work)
Silverfish is a small wild, wingless bug. The overarching word is derived from the silvery, pale grey colour of the species, synonymous with the fish-like image of the movements.
Hence, the correct answer is choice D.
Additional information:
The female lice positions their nests on the hair of the host or on the body. Lice migrate directly, by a comb, or by the dropped hair from one person to another. Cimex is mainly attracted to its hosts by carbon dioxide, heat, and some chemicals. Bed bugs love bare skin, particularly the face, hands, and arms of a person sleeping. Because of their use and destruction of possessions, silverfish are seen as household pests.
Note: There are also more species of insects that do not have wings. Some insects that have no wings may belong to insect groups whose ancestors once had but were able to lose because of increasing growth. Some ancestral groups such as Lepisma never had a wing on the other side. For the way they practice to live, some would have lost their wings.
