Fischer Technical INSPOS/SET, Insects Poster Set Of 4, Laminated

Description

This set Includes four lamInated posters. All posters are 24" x 36" Titles included are: Insect Identification, Insect Metamorphosis, Arachnida, and Arthropods. A222 Insect Identification Insects are the most diverse group of animals on Earth. There are more than a million described species, more than all other animal groups combined. Insect collecting is a very popular hobby and is often assigned as a classroom project. With so many species, insect identification is difficult. This chart presents all the insect orders through a brief description accompanied by detailed pictures of one or more species. A section on anatomy identifies important physical characteristics. A unique branching system permits the novice to identify a specimen to the order level (beetle, bee, bug, butterfly, etc.). More detailed identification requires professional training and an extensive library. This poster is extremely popular with collectors, kids and educators. It is widely used in schools and by collectors. This second edition has been graphically streamlined, making it easier to use. A223 Insect Metamorphosis Insect metamorphosis is taught in every life science class. Each of these nine paintings shows the larva, pupa, and a mature specimen of a different insect, making this poster especially appropriate for education. Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) was the first artist to paint and show species in their native environments. In 1699, at age 52, she sailed on one of the fragile wooden ships of the day across the vast Atlantic Ocean to the wild, unexplored jungles of South America. There she was able to observe living specimens of remarkable and previously unknown insects. Each of her magnificent paintings features an insect in all three stages of life. But she went beyond that and showed them on the plant that provides their most frequent habitat or food source. Many are exotic, and all are shown complete with foliage, flowers, and fruit. Merian set the standard for the many botanical and zoological artists who followed. Thus, this poster has great art and art history value Merian created her superb paintings over 300 years ago, and they have never been surpassed in beauty or scientific accuracy. Her masterpieces are exhibited in museums worldwide. She is the subject of a permanent exhibit at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC. An informative inset tells the fascinating story of this courageous and talented woman who was so many, many years ahead of her time. Her remarkable accomplishments appeal to those interested in the achievements of women. A228 Arachnida Many Feenixx customers have asked for a poster on spiders, but this title goes beyond that. It provides a comprehensive overview of the entire arachnid clade. In addition to spiders, the scorpions, ticks, pseudo spiders, and other groups are explored. Each is introduced by informative text and accompanied by outstanding illustrations of the species. The arachnids have four pair of legs, which easily distinguishes them from the insects, which have only three pair. Great care was taken to show the amazing diversity of these little critters. North American species are shown whenever possible. A224 - Arthropods Arthropods are animals that have an external skeleton. They are the most abundant animals on Earth but are often misunderstood. Spiders, millipedes, and other arthropods are often mistakenly referred to as “insects” and “bugs.” This poster explains the differences. Each of the five clades (formerly subphylum) is carefully explored. Highly detailed illustrations show an incredible 98 species, many life size. All are identified by both common and scientific names. Insects account for the great bulk of the arthropods, and this poster includes representatives of all the major orders. The crustaceans include crabs and lobsters as well as shrimp, krill, and even barnacles. Included with them is the giant sea scorpion; this long-extinct animal is the largest arthropod that ever lived, reaching a length of six feet. This remarkable poster even includes the prehistoric trilobites. They were the dominant life form during the Permian but became extinct. Highly educational, very attractive, and decorative, this poster appeals to teachers, students, collectors, and professional entomologists.
