Abstract
Sharing Your Home With Arthropods
Highlights
Arthropods are animals that are found throughout the world, from deserts to mountain tops, all the way down to the bottom of the oceans
Your home may be teeming with the arthropod life described in this article, that does not mean your lifestyle is unclean or that these animals are taking over
It is very typical to have these arthropods in your home, and their total biomass, for example if you weighed them all, is very, very small
Summary
Included in this group are many familiar organisms, some of which you may see on a daily basis. Animals like beetles, moths, flies, and spiders (to name a few) are abundant wherever humans live. Many arthropods even live with humans in their homes! Throughout history, we humans have created places in which to stay. As these living places became permanent, they transformed from shelters into homes. Arthropod pests that live on the food in our kitchens: (A) granary weevil (Sitophilus), (B) grain beetle (Oryzaephilus), (C) flour beetle (Tribolium), (D) Indianmeal moth adult (Plodia interpunctella) and (E) larva, and (F) vinegar fly (Drosophila)
