“…It is part of the west-central arid region of Tunisia and has a dry climate marked by Mediterranean and continental influences. The city is located in a transition zone between the steppe and desert (Karaouli et al, 2009;Mohamed et al, 2013;Raja et al, 2014). It seems that our study beetle preferred Moulares, inhabiting the domestic gardens where they have easy access to food and shelter (humidity, decomposing matters, concealed shelters…).…”

Several endemic species of Blaps occur in Tunisia, and the species Blaps nefrauensis nefrauensis has been reported in Moulares (urban zone in west-central Tunisia), where it lives and reproduces in home gardens and old buildings. The aim of this work is to study the life cycle of the darkling beetle, considering both field and laboratory rearing conditions. As a result, the beetle species has different developmental stages (egg, larva, prepupa, pupa, and adult) that last about 15 months. Each year during the same period, adults emerge (early summer) and expire (late autumn), larvae hatch (late summer) and pupate (early summer). There is only one generation per year. Females began laying eggs in late July. The eggs were ovoid, white, and about 2.7 mm in length and 1.5 mm in width. Embryogenesis took an average of nine days. The first instar larvae were at initially only 4.5 mm long and ivory white in color. A brief description of the newly egg hatched larva was provided; thus, the nerve fibers innervating the apical setae in the antennae and ligula were detected. Further light microscopic examination of the embryo before hatching from the egg pointed out that the antennal sensilla are protected during the embryogenesis stage.

“…In daily life, dust presence in atmosphere dramatically reduces air quality leading to consequences such as respiratory and allergy diseases and aggravation in people suffering from heart diseases. Moreover, metals present in dust can accumulate in human body via directly inhalation, ingestion and dermal contact resulting in serious health problems [6]. In addition, the particulate material or its soluble components may be transported to organs some distance from the lungs and have a detrimental effect on these organs [7].…”
