Cloporte
Les cloportes ou porcellions sont des crustacés formant le sous-ordre des Oniscidea dans l'ordre des isopodes, avec plus de espèces connues, dont 218 en France. L'espèce la plus répandue est le cloporte commun (Armadillidium vulgare). Les cloportes sont les seuls crustacés entièrement terrestres et vivent principalement sous les vieilles souches ou sous les feuilles mortes, afin de se protéger du soleil. Ils sont munis d'un exosquelette rigide, segmenté, de couleur jaunâtre-brun pâle (plutôt chez les jeunes) à noirâtre en passant par le gris ardoise.
Cricket (insect)
Crickets are orthopteran insects which are related to bush crickets, and, more distantly, to grasshoppers. In older literature, such as Imms, "crickets" were placed at the family level (i.e. Gryllidae), but contemporary authorities including Otte now place them in the superfamily Grylloidea. The word has been used in combination to describe more distantly related taxa in the suborder Ensifera, such as king crickets and mole crickets. Crickets have mainly cylindrically shaped bodies, round heads, and long antennae.
Instar
An instar (ˈɪnstɑr, from the Latin īnstar 'form, likeness') is a developmental stage of arthropods, such as insects, between each moult (ecdysis), until sexual maturity is reached. Arthropods must shed the exoskeleton in order to grow or assume a new form. Differences between instars can often be seen in altered body proportions, colors, patterns, changes in the number of body segments or head width. After shedding their exoskeleton (moulting), the juvenile arthropods continue in their life cycle until they either pupate or moult again.
Dactyloidae
Dactyloidae are a family of lizards commonly known as anoles (USəˈnoʊ.liz) and native to warmer parts of the Americas, ranging from southeastern United States to Paraguay. Instead of treating it as a family, some authorities prefer to treat it as a subfamily, Dactyloidae, of the family Iguanidae. In the past they were included in the family Polychrotidae together with Polychrus (bush anoles), but the latter genus is not closely related to the true anoles.
