Pachyanthidium lachrymosum (Smith, 1879) | |
Pachyanthidium lachrymosum is a species of bee in the genus Pachyanthidium , of the family Megachilidae.
Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, known for their role in pollination and, in the case of the best-known bee species, the western honey bee, for producing honey and beeswax. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea and are presently considered a clade, called Anthophila. There are over 16,000 known species of bees in seven recognized biological families. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.
Megachilidae is a cosmopolitan family of mostly solitary bees whose pollen-carrying structure is restricted to the ventral surface of the abdomen. Megachilid genera are most commonly known as mason bees and leafcutter bees, reflecting the materials from which they build their nest cells ; a few collect plant or animal hairs and fibers, and are called carder bees, while others use plant resins in nest construction and are correspondingly called resin bees. All species feed on nectar and pollen, but a few are kleptoparasites, feeding on pollen collected by other megachilid bees. Parasitic species do not possess scopae. The motion of Megachilidae in the reproductive structures of flowers is energetic and swimming-like; this agitation releases large amounts of pollen.

The Hemiphractidae are a family of frogs from South and Central America. Previously, this group had been classified as a subfamily (Hemiphractinae) under family Hylidae. More recent research classifies these genera into their own family, or sometimes into three separate families: Amphignathodontidae, Cryptobatrachidae, and Hemiphractidae (Hemiphractus). An active question still exists as to which of these groupings is more accurate.
The redbelly tilapia is a species of fish in the cichlid family. It is found widely in Africa and the Middle East, but has also been introduced outside its native range. It is an important food fish and sometimes seen in the aquarium trade. Its natural habitats are marginal vegetation and seasonal floodplain streams, lakes, and ponds. It was formerly included in the genus Tilapia as Tilapia zillii.
