...Large glands are visible at the edge of the mouth and tibia region of the leg (Walker 1999). Webbing on the toes may stretch up to 1/4 the length of the toe. Pobblebonk frogs also have prominent teeth (Latham Bathfrog 1999). Adults reach 52-83 mm in size (Walker 1999). A pale "shovel" or spade can be seen on the hind toe (ACT...
...Pthirus pubis also has another modification of the claw region, which is actually an extension of the tibia, called the thumb of the tibia which allows it to grasp the flattened hairs of the pubic region of humans. Another distinguishing feature is the four pairs of tubercles, which stick out on each side of the animal's abdomen. Lice breathe through spiracles at the...
...There is little green coloring on the limbs, except for the upper forearms and the tibia; the rest of the limb is yellow. The thighs are deep purple, and L. chloris' irises are bright red-orange with a horizontal pupil. This tree frog has a typical Hylidae build with long, slender limbs and webbed hands and feet with large toe discs. A distinct tympanum...
Macrophyllum macrophyllum long-legged bat
...The wing membrane extends from the distal end of the tibia. The dorsum is dark brown and the ventral side is paler, and the wings and tail membrane are brown. Hair becomes paler toward the base and the wings and interfemoral membrane are naked (Harrison, 1975). Females were pregnant at two different localities at two different times in Guatemala (Seymour and Dickerman, 1982). At...
...They have three pairs of spines located beneath the tibia. The abdomen of Marpissa formosa is marked with an angular central band. This genus is well-known for having short bodies and a large set of eyes. Females of this species are dark brown, with a narrow black band and occasionally some white scales. The first pair of legs are brown and the rest...
Aeropedellus clavatus Clubhorned Grasshopper
...The front tibiae is also thicker in males.Nymphs resemble adults, though lacking wings and the antennal club. They are identifiable by their strongly slanted face, flat antennae, and the narrow light line behind the eye, which runs along the side of the head onto the body. The last two instars have erect wing pads, which the first two instars lack. Size increases regularly...
Melanoplus differentialis Differential Grasshopper
...The hind tibiae (lower hind limbs) are yellow with black spines. They have yellowish tarsi. Protonum and forewings are glossy and uniform. The shape of males cercus differs from those of females. Some adults may be nearly black in color. This polymorphic form is found mostly in Colorado and northeast to South Dakota and Nebraska. However, they can be found randomly in other populations...
Pteropus hypomelanus variable flying fox
...A naked dorsal tibia distinguishes P. hypomelanus from other Pteropus species. Length of forearm, overall body size, and locality generally are also useful for differentiating between members of the genus Pteropus. Variable flying foxes have a nearly four foot wingspan (1.21 m). Overall body length is 183 to 240 mm. Variable flying foxes are sexually dimorphic with males weighing 567 to 576 g...
...quatuordecimguttata has 2 spurs on the apex of the middle and hind tibia. Eggs are laid in the early spring by adults that have overwintered. After larvae emerge and then pupate, like other Coccinellidae, adults live for a few weeks in the summer until the weather cools. The final generation overwinters as diapause occurs. Adults of C. quatuordecimguttata cannot mate and reproduce until after...
...There are no spines on the first and second legs except under tibiae and metatarsi. The genus Misumena is identified within its subfamily Misumeninae by the shape and structure of the clypeus, the front of the cephalothorax (the front body section, where the eyes are). Females lay eggs. The spiderlings that hatch out look like mini-adults. As they grow they have to shed...
...Females have corbicula (pollen baskets) on their hind tibiae. Males and females of some species have differing facial colors, which allows them to be differentiated. Species of bumble bees have varying tongue lengths. Members of this genus can be confused with eastern carpenter bees. Bumble bees can be differentiated from eastern carpenter bees by the pubescence on the dorsum. Eggs are laid in individual...
...The locomotion of emperor scorpions is unusual in that they use simultaneous extension of the femur-patella joint and the patella-tibia joint for movement. When threatened, they usually flee rather than fight, but if cornered in a small space, they turn aggressive and go into a defensive posture with their stinger ready. Emperor scorpions are social animals and have been observed living in...
Lithobates grylio Pig Frog
...In this frog, the tibia is the same length as the femur. Their eyes are greatly elevated and unusually large, with only a narrow space between them. Nostrils are prominent in Rana grylio. They have an elevated fold of skin over the ear that runs to the shoulder, and the ear is orange-brown in color with a green center. The middle and posterior...
Neovison macrodon sea mink
...Neovison macrodon, however, had a larger skull, mandible, humerus, radius, femur, and tibia, and as well as distinctive dental characteristics.
Ctenocephalides felis blokha
...The hind tibia is also different from other flea species in that it lacks an outer apical tooth. All members of the order Siphonaptera have powerful muscles containing resilin, a highly elastic protein, in their legs, which allows these fleas to leap as high as 33 cm.Flea larvae resemble tiny maggots with short bristles and mandibles for chewing. Pupae live encased in silky...
