What is a stylet on an insect?
A stylet is part of the mouth in some invertebrates. Aphids and tardigrades also have mouth parts that are called stylets. The stylet is sharp and is used to pierce things like plants and leaves.
What is the hardiest animal to look after?
One of the most resilient organisms known are tardigrades ("water bears"). Tardigrades can go into a hibernation mode - called the tun state - one that is more akin to "suspended animation" whereby it can survive temperatures from -253°C to 151°C, as well as exposure to x-rays, and vacuum conditions. When you place tardigrades in perfluorocarbon fluid (again while hibernating), at a pressure of 600 MPa, (that's almost 6,000 times atmospheric pressure at sea level) they emerge from the experience just fine . Even the bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans, the most radiation resistant organism known, only achieves this resistance under some conditions such as fast growth and in nutrient-rich medium.
Is a waterbear a parasite?
Waterbears, also known as tardigrades, are not parasites. They are microscopic, aquatic animals that are known for their ability to survive extreme conditions such as extreme temperatures, pressure, and radiation. They are important components of various ecosystems as they feed on plant cells, algae, and small invertebrates.
What is the most adaptive animal in the world?
Tardigrades. They can survive temperatures well above the boiling point of water and near absolute zero. They can withstand radiation 1000x that would kill a person. They can withstand 6x the pressure of the deepest depths of the ocean. They can even withstand the vacuum of space. If you don't believe me look it up.
