Spinola's health broke down, as he was already 61 years old, with over 30 years experience in the battle fields, and died on 25 September 1630 at the Siege of Casale, muttering, apparently, the words " honour " and " reputation.

By 1611 Spinola's financial ruin was complete, but he obtained the desired Grandeza.

The taking of Breda was the culmination of Spinola's career.

This proved a costly fiasco as Spinola's besieging army of 18, 000 melted away through disease and desertion.

The subsequent success of Spinola's siege of Breda did not change this decision, and Spain adopted a defensive stance militarily in the Netherlands.

In the wake of the Thirty Years ' War, Velázquez met the Marqués de Spinola and painted his famous Surrender of Breda celebrating Spinola's earlier victory.

General Spinola's Africanization policy also fostered a large increase in indigenous recruitment into the armed forces, culminating the establishment of all-black military formations such as the Black Militias ( Milícias negras ) commanded by Major Carlos Fabião.

Hemiptera is the largest insect order that is hemimetabolous ; the orders with more species all have a pupal stage ( Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera and Hymenoptera ).

Two other orders with parasitoidal members are the " twisted-wing parasites " ( order Strepsiptera ), which is a small group consisting entirely of parasitoids, and the beetles ( order Coleoptera ), which includes at least two families, Ripiphoridae and Rhipiceridae, that are largely parasitoids, and rove beetles ( family Staphylinidae ) of the genus Aleochara.

Coleoptera occupied his own attention but he had a regard for insects of other orders if only for the reason that it brought him into communication with the lovers of them, for he had a sympathy not only with the entomologists as such but also as cultivators of a sense of pleasure and enjoyment in the varied realm of nature, and he was able, as a rule, to give far more information on cognate matters than he received "

An elytron ( from " sheath "; plural: elytra ) is a modified, hardened forewing of certain insect orders, notably beetles ( Coleoptera ) and a few of the true bugs ( Heteroptera ); in most true bugs, the forewings are instead called hemelytra, as only the basal half is thickened while the apex is membranous.

He had a comprehensive collection of Coleoptera and sought authoritatively named specimens from English and continental authorities.

Although interested in all orders of insects Dohrn specialised in Coleoptera. His first published paper was in the Entomologische Zeitung for 1845 but he was an active entomologist long before this, since he had acted as Secretary to the Stettin Entomological Society from its foundation in 1839 and edited its journal.

His Coleoptera collection was very extensive and just prior to his death, at 86, he had received upwards of 1, 000 beetles from Sumatra.

Besides the various interesting communications contained in this volume, ( among which may be particularized Suffrian's criticisms on Schönherr's generic arrangement of the Curculionidae, and an elaborate investigation, by the veteran Gravenhorst, of the affinities of the Brachyeltrous genus Quedius, the society have published a second volume of their yearly journal ( the Linnaea ) containing, beside the usual portion of matter concerning Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and Diptera, from the pens of Suffrian, Zeller and Loew, a considerable contribution to the knowledge of the almost microscopical and obscure Hymenopterous family Mymaridae by Prof. Förster ; as a supplement to which may be mentioned Loew's discovery of the hitherto unknown economy and prior states of these insects, communicated in the ' Entomologisches Zeitung '.

Volume two ( 194 pages ) contains 2040 line-drawings of whole beetles and features referred to in the keys ( 390 of these were taken from Spry and Shuckard's 1840 publication The British Coleoptera Delineated but the remainder were drawn by Joy ).

* Ocalea ( genus ), a genus of insect of the order Coleoptera.

Most important among invertebrate prey are insects, especially beetles ( Coleoptera ), crickets and grasshoppers ( Orthoptera ), and bumblebees and wasps ( Hymenoptera ).

Such nucleating agents have been found in the hemolymph of insects of several orders, i. e., Coleoptera ( beetles ), Diptera ( flies ), and Hymenoptera.

These hosts are to be found in at least 12 different insect orders including Lepidoptera ( butterflies and moths ), Diptera ( true flies ), Coleoptera ( beetles ), Hemiptera ( true bugs ), and other Hymenoptera, as well as two orders of Arachnida, and even one family of nematodes.

Entomophily, pollination by insects, often occurs on plants that have developed colored petals and a strong scent to attract insects such as, bees, wasps and occasionally ants ( Hymenoptera ), beetles ( Coleoptera ), moths and butterflies ( Lepidoptera ), and flies ( Diptera ).
