Scottish Highlands & Islands postcodes: AB, FK, HS, IV, KA, KW, PA, PH, ZE, LL58-LL78, IM, TR, PO30-41 Phasmids vary greatly in size, with females typically growing larger than males of the same species. [4] Males of the smallest species, such as Timema cristinae, reach about 2 centimetres (0.8in) long, [5] while females of the longest, an undescribed species informally known as Phryganistria "chinensis", is up to 64 centimetres (25in) in total length, including outstretched legs. This makes it the world's longest insect. [6] The heaviest species of phasmid is likely to be Heteropteryx dilatata, the females of which may weigh as much as 65g (2.3oz). [7] Description [ edit ] Phobaeticus serratipes Female Phobaeticus chani, the world's second-longest insect. This species grows to a total length of 56.7cm (22.3in) (front legs fully extended) and body length of 35.7cm (14.1in).

When the wand touches the mylar strips they gain the same charge as the wand. For example, if the wand is negatively charged it will transfer excess electrons to the mylar strips and they too will become negatively charged. If the wand is positively charged it will "pull" electrons from the mylar strips and they too will become positively charged. The like charges contained inside the mylar strips repel each other which causes the mylar itself to expand as a result. And at the same time the like charge on the wand and mylar strips cause them to repel each other hence producing the levitation effect. a b Hoell, H.V.; Doyen, J.T.; Purcell, A.H. (1998).

In addition, unlike charges attract which means that electrons and protons are attracted to each other.

Some indigenous people of the D'Entrecasteaux Islands have traditionally made fishhooks from the legs of certain phasmids. [60] When threatened, some phasmids that are equipped with femoral spines on the metathoracic legs ( Oncotophasma martini, Eurycantha calcarata, Eurycantha horrida, Diapheromera veliei, Diapheromera covilleae, Heteropteryx dilatata) respond by curling the abdomen upward and repeatedly swinging the legs together, grasping at the threat. If the menace is caught, the spines can, in humans, draw blood and inflict considerable pain. [16]

How To Return A Product In general, electrons are much more free to move around inside a substance than protons, and it is the flow of electrons to or from a substance which allows the substance to become either negatively charged or positively charged. a b Craighead, Frank Cooper; Schaffner, John Valentine (1950).
