AB Figure  8-1Insect  “bites”  Many  effects  of  metazoal  parasitism  are  attributed  to  bites.  Some  metazoa  (insects  in  a  loose  sense)  do  indeed  bite,  and  others  sting,  but  what  we  frequently  designate  as  insect  bite  is  attachment  for  feeding.  The  result  of  such  attachment  looks  like  a  bite  and  is  sooner  or  later  attended  by  pain,  itching,  or  stinging.  True  bites  and  stings,  however,  are  instantly  painful;  many  have  immediate  or  late,  more  baleful  effects;  and  most  are  generally  inflicted  in  self-defense  or  seemingly  wanton  offense,  not  for  feeding.Graphic  Jump  LocationView  Full  Size||Download  Slide  (.ppt)
