Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 The scutellum is the posterior portion of either the mesonotum or the metanotum of an insect thorax however, it is used almost exclusively in the former context, as the metanotum is rather reduced in most insect groups. In the Hemiptera , and some Coleoptera , the scutellum is a small triangular plate behind the prothorax pronotum and between the forewing bases. In Diptera and Hymenoptera the scutellum is nearly always distinct, but much smaller than and immediately posterior to the mesoscutum. gallery caption Scetellum in various types of insect File Heteroptera morphology d.svg 26 Heteroptera scutellum File Housefly anatomy key.svg 6 Diptera scutellum File Col opt re sch matique.jpg 9 Coleoptera scutellum File Scheme ant worker anatomy numbered.svg 10 Formicidae scutellum gallery DEFAULTSORT Scutellum Insect Category Insect anatomy Insect stub de Scutellum es Escutelo anatom a fr Scutellum he lt Skydelis entomologija nl Scutellum no Scutellum sv Skutell ... more details

About the sculptor of insect models the Luftwaffe general Alfred Keller Alfred Keller 1902 1955 created models of insects and other small animals these models are unique for their impressive attention to detail. Keller was employed at the Museum f r Naturkunde Museum of Natural History in Berlin , Germany from 1930 until his death in 1955, and his sculptures can still be found there. He worked with papier m ch and several other materials such as celluloid and galalith to create models of insects including a Pulex irritans flea 1930, 100 1 scale , a housefly 1932, 50 1 scale , a mosquito in flight 1937, 60 1 scale , a Colorado potato beetle 1940, 50 1 scale , and a ball bearer leafhopper Bocydium globulare , 1953, 180 1 scale , among others. The housefly, typical of the painstaking attention to detail shown in Keller s sculptures, includes 2,653 bristles. Each model took about a year to complete.

Muscidae, some of which are commonly known as housefly house flies or Stable fly stable flies due to their Synanthrope synanthropy , are worldwide in distribution and contain almost 4,000 described species in over 100 genera. Most species are not synanthropic. Adults can be predatory, hematophagy hematophagous , saprophage saprophagous , or feed on a number of types of plant and animal exudates.
