Cyphonia Clavata by Claire Reed on Prezi.
The ant-mimicking treehopper (Cyphonia clavata) keeps itself safe from predators by pretending to be an ant. What looks like an ant is actually extension growths on its body - which most other insect species are incapable of creating. Overview; Photos; Videos; Map; Share; Subscribe; Play; More; Distribution The Cyphonia Clavata lives mainly in the rainforests of South America, parts of Mexico.
Cyphonia Clavata Fun Facts The Cyphonia Clavata has a ant like thing growing out of its head called an appendage, that hides its actual body from predators. The Cyphonia Clavata is actually a rare insect, tree hopper. Video Photos Habitat The Cyphonia Clavata lives mainly in the.
Ant-mimicking treehopper, Cyphonia clavata, Membracidae by Andreas Kay Via Flickr: This treehopper was filmed in the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador and measures only 6 mm in length. Treehoppers are insects related to cicadas and leafhoppers. Most treehoppers have a highly modified pronotum on the back, in this case forming several hollow spheres and spines, which makes it unpalatable for.
Cyphonia clavata is a species of insects with 93 observations.

Classification analogies are a type of analogy that compare terms according to what group they belong. To solve classification analogies problems, first identify the relationship between the terms.
Inheritance and Variation of Traits Science Stations for Third Grade Next Generation Science Standards include 8 different science stations where students can deepen their understanding of how plants and animals inherit various traits. The focus is on NGSS 3-LS3.A and 3-LS3.B and include concepts such plant identification, seed dispersal, changing leaves, animal survival and growth.
Cryptotia: our classification and treatment. Hirose T, Tomono T, Matsuo K, Katohda S, Takahashi N, Iwasawa M, Satoh R. Our classification of cryptotia is based on recognition that the deformity is the result of an anomaly of the intrinsic transverse and oblique auricular muscles. Our treatment, in the first instance, is a non-surgical correction. This should be started early, if possible in.
Which is the best analogy for classification? Classification is like setting up a phone tree in which one person calls the next two people, and those people call the next four people. Classification is like creating an alphabetized list of people based on their last names. Classification is like organizing a car wash where everyone brings needed items and then works. Classification is like.
The biological classification system of life introduced by British zoologist Thomas Cavalier-Smith involves systematic arrangements of all life forms on earth. Following and improving the classification systems introduced by Carl Linnaeus, Ernst Haeckel, Robert Whittaker, and Carl Woese, Cavalier-Smith's classification attempts to incorporate the latest developments in taxonomy.
That’s not an ant perched on top of another bug—that’s a species of treehopper called the Cyphonia clavata, which has adapted to grow a realistic ant-shaped protrusion on its back. This site is a curated collection of phenomena for the NGSS, along with help for how to use phenomena in 3 Dimensional teaching and learning.
In this example, the Cyphonia mimics an insect notoriously difficult to prey upon—a local tree ant— all the way down to the spikes that protrude from the ant’s back—which is why it’s so unappetizing to predators in the first place. This species of treehopper was first discovered in 1788 by Caspar Stroll, an entomologist from Germany, and can be found in the rainforests of Central.
