Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which usually have a really short projecting "tail", usually hidden entirely under the thorax. They sleep in all the world's oceans, in water , and ashore , are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton, and have one pair of pincers.
If the wild decapod crustacean is fortunate enough to measure his life in his natural habitat, he can live up to 30 years. A crab in captivity may have a way shorter life, not even reaching 1 year. However, with proper care, your crab can live up to twenty years. Crabs start as eggs and enter various larval and adult life stages. Each stage of growth makes them vulnerable to differing types of predators. Small fish and jellyfish will eat blue crab larvae, while birds, mammals and bigger fish will eat older crabs. Crabs aren't picky eaters. they're going to eat everything from dead and living fish to barnacles, plants, snails, shrimp, worms and even other crabs. They use their claws to grab food particles and put the food into their mouths. this is often almost like the way humans eat using their hands or utensils. Ashleigh

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi is a cattle herding dog breed that originated in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is one of two breeds known as a Welsh Corgi. The other is the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, and both descend from the line of northern spitz-type dogs.
Pembroke Welsh Corgis (also called Pembrokes, PWCs or Pems) are the smallest of the American Kennel Club's Herding Group, and are also recognized by the United Kennel Club. Their coats can be red, sable, fawn or tri-colored (red, black and tan), usually with white markings on the legs, chest, neck, muzzle and belly. They also may have a narrow blaze on their heads. Pembroke heads are shaped much like the head of a fox. Their eyes are oval-shaped and dark, and their ears are erect. For most of us, the easiest way to tell the difference between a Pembroke and a Cardigan is to look at the tails. Pembrokes' are docked and Cardigans' are long. (Remember it this way: the Pembroke has a "broke" tail; the Cardigan has a long tail like the sleeves of a cardigan sweater.) Although Pembrokes are still used as working dogs, they are most often seen as family pets these days. They are known for being happy, loving, and intelligent, but with a stubborn or independent streak at times. They are easy to train, but don't expect your Pembroke to be subservient. They like to think for themselves. Although they want to please their owners, food is a great motivator for them when training. Proceed with caution: Pembrokes love to eat and can become obese if their food intake isn't moderated. Ashleigh Honeybees are relatively quiet and almost cute as they go about their work. Wasps, hornets and yellow jackets, on the other hand, are noisy and aggressive. People don’t like them because they build nests near homes and can damage shrubs and trees. Mostly, though, people are afraid of their painful stings. And even worse, they live everywhere except Antarctica!
Wasps do have a useful purpose though. Wasps are fierce predators and they hunt and eat almost every insect pest that harms crops. Wasps eat grasshoppers, aphids, flies and other bees. They also eat nectar, tree sap and fruit. Some wasps eat human food, which is why they can be a nuisance at picnics. Wasps make nests from paper. They chew up strips of bark and spit it out again to form a rough paper. Some wasps make nests in basements, sheds or dark, cool places. You should get rid of the nest as fast as you can because, unlike bees, wasps can sting as many times as it wants. A queen starts a new colony each spring. She raises a few worker wasps first to make the nest larger and bring food. Then she starts laying eggs. A colony can grow to 50,000 wasps in one summer. In the fall, all the wasps die except for a few new queens. The new queens spend the winter in an old log or burrow. In the spring, they make new colonies. There are 4,000 kinds of wasps in the United States. Typically, wasps are most active during the day and usually return to their nests at dusk. These pests are often seen flying around during the second half of summer and early fall when the colonies search for food that will sustain their queens during the winter. Ashleigh |
