Lac insect,... Laccifer lacca, a tropical and semitropical scale insect or coccid. The insects feed on wild and cultivated plants, including banyan and fig trees and some 30 other trees and shrubs in India and other parts of southern Asia and adjacent islands. The females exude quantities of wax or lac, which envelops their bodies in a coating one-fourth to one-half inch thick. They produce two or three generations a year.  5, record 1, English, - lac

L'ingestion de fragments d'insectes ou d'acariens dans un aliment à base de céréales n'est pas dangereuse, en particulier si le produit alimentaire a subi une cuisson. Toutefois, certains individus peuvent développer une allergie alimentaire à la consommation d'aliments fortement «chargés» en fragments d'insectes ou d'acariens. Il est donc particulièrement important de ne pas utiliser des céréales infestées d'insectes ou d'acariens dans la fabrication de ces aliments (farine, semoule, malt, flocons de maïs, etc.).  4, record 2, French, - fragments%20d%27insectes

The Insect Habitat (IH) was designed to support a variety of insect species. However, during the initial flight increments, it will be dedicated to experiments using Drosophila melanogaster, or fruit flies. The Insect Habitat will enable studies of the fruit fly to learn how microgravity affects development, nervous system function, movement and behavior, growth, reproduction, aging, gene expression, mutagenesis from radiation and circadian rhythms or sleep/wake cycles.  2, record 5, English, - insect%20habitat

The IH will support single-and multi-generation experiments that have approximate external dimensions of 13. 5 cm(L) x 2. 25 cm(D) x 7. 0 cm(H) each. The flies will live in two chevron-shaped container elements. These containers can be divided into two parts using the internal food cylinders; this yields two 55 ml containers that can support up to 100 Drosophila through to egg-laying. Alternatively, the containers can be left undivided, which yields a single 110 ml volume that supports up to 200 Drosophila.... The two insect containers reside in the science element portion of the IH. The science element consists of two environmentally controlled "drawers. "Each drawer contains a centrifuge that can provide up to 2G. Each centrifuge will hold six insect containers. Typically, one drawer will have a microgravity environment and the other drawer will have a defined gravity environment, although the precise gravity regimen for each centrifuge can be determined by the researcher.  2, record 5, English, - insect%20habitat

Habitats in the Space Station Fundamental Biology Research Facility (SSFBRF) enable studies on a variety of organisms across multiple science disciplines. They allow scientists to conduct experiments in habitats that are similar in design to those that have been used in labs for ground studies. Each habitat provides life support, environmental control, and monitoring systems and can be housed in one or more of the three major host systems: the Centrifuge, Life Sciences Glovebox, and Habitat Holding Rack. This hardware was designed to automate as much as possible, thus providing maximizing science return while requiring minimal crew time.  5, record 5, English, - insect%20habitat

The Piercing-sucking type [insect]. Specialized mouth parts characterized by a tubular, usually jointed beak, enclosing several needle-like stylets. The outer tube is formed by the labium, which is simply a protective structure for the other parts and has nothing to do with piercing the tissues or drawing up the liquid food. The mandibles and maxillae, sometimes supplemented by or replaced by the labrum-epipharynx and hypopharynx, are greatly elongated and slender structures, which serve for piercing the skin of an animal or the epidermis of a plant, and also as the food channel, i. e., an inner tube up which the liquid blood or sap in drawn.  2, record 7, English, - piercing%2Dsucking
