Nymphal

In the final nymphal instar, they construct an exit tunnel to the surface and emerge. ❋ Michael James (2008)

But in the Midwest, where there are greater extremes of temperature, there is a shorter window of opportunity for tick feeding, and therefore a shorter gap between nymphal and larval feedings. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The clear implication of this research, say the researchers, is that, as the planet warms, the Upper Midwest could find itself in the same situation as the Northeast: longer gaps between nymphal and larval feeding, and therefore, stronger, more persistent strains of Lyme Disease. ❋ Unknown (2009)

These ads place the blame entirely on the girl and only young, nymphal girls are exploited on the internet! ❋ Unknown (2009)

Deer ticks live for two years and have three stages of life – larval, nymphal and adult. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Dragonfly time is marked by the psychedelically colored adults darting about and abandoned nymphal skins clinging to shoreline vegetation, though you won't find either in big numbers. ❋ Unknown (2006)

There they shed the nymphal skin to become airborne. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The golden stonefly of the Pacific Northwest and the Quill Gordon mayfly of the East both shed their nymphal husks on the bottom and swim to the surface as emergent adults. ❋ Unknown (2002)

Slice the hackle of a dry fly at an angle to make it ride low and on its side, cut off the tail to make its abdomen sink, remove one wing, or cut them both to stubs to imitate an insect stuck in its nymphal shuck. ❋ Unknown (2002)

And not just the nymphal deer tick but the nymphal deer tick that was somewhat filled with human blood, in other words, it had been feeding for a couple of days or more. ❋ Unknown (2001)

NADELMAN: Well, Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that's transmitted by the bite of a very small tick called a deer tick and the nymphal stage of the tick, which is the stage that's most likely to transmit disease is only the size of a poppy seed. ❋ Unknown (2001)

NADELMAN: And in addition we found that not everybody whose bitten by a deer tick is at particular risk of Lyme disease but that risk was really limited to people who removed the nymphal deer tick, which is around basically from the -- from May until the end of July. ❋ Unknown (2001)

During their development from egg to adult, insects go through larval or nymphal stages and gain biomass by feeding. ❋ Unknown (1994)

Although they may thrive temporarily, supporting a teeming food chain that can run from aquatic plants to muskrats to owls; from nymphal insects to sunfish to snapping turtles; or from salamanders to magpies to weasels, in time the ponds and lakes are invaded by vegetation, filled with silt and reduced during summer droughts until they gasp (!) and die, changing into marsh and then prairie again. ❋ Robbins, Tom (1976)

These flies, though voracious feeders both in the larval and nymphal state, never eat at all after they have assumed their perfect form. ❋ W. Houghton (N/A)

Control measures were directed against the nymphal stage, which is protected by the spittle which the insect emits continuously while feeding. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

In the development of the may-flies, then, we notice not only a considerable divergence between larva and imago, both in habitat and structure; we see also what is to be observed often in more highly organised insects -- a feeding stage prolonged through the years of larval and nymphal life, while the winged imago takes no food and devotes its energies through its short existence to the task of reproduction. ❋ Unknown (1902)

All the larval and nymphal instars are active, and the wing-rudiments are outwardly visible long before the final moult. ❋ Unknown (1902)

Its aquatic larva is fairly robust, with a large head which is provided with well-developed jaws, as the larval and nymphal stages extend over one or two years, and the insects browse on water-weeds or devour creatures smaller and weaker than themselves. ❋ Unknown (1902)

The life of the imago endures but a short time compared with the long aquatic larval and nymphal stages. ❋ Unknown (1902)
