That would be the tundra. It's not actually a swamp.....

There are black widow spiders in southern Ontario.  Most of Canada is too cold for them.  \n\nThe brown recluse spider whose bite is quite bad,  is also found in Canada.  Some kind of spider can be found pretty much everywhere in Canada.  \n\nI hope this helps.

Actually, mosquitoes, as much as I loathe them, serve very much of a purpose. I live in Alaska and, as many of you may know, Alaska is famous for it's salmon. Mosquito larvae make up an extremely large and important part of a young salmon's diet. If mosquito larvae were to disappear from a lack of mosquitoes breeding, many salmon would die. As a result, there would be a shortage of salmon. Bears, eagles, and other animals would die because salmon are a staple of many critters' diets. Also, Alaskan fishing industries would suffer - all because those pesky, buzzing creatures were gone. =) isn't it amazing how everything is connected?

Mainly regional linguistics. Depending on their ancestry, settlers in Britain called wetlands by these and more names (scots "karse" for instance), and one region's bog may be another region's swamp. These terms predated consistent spelling, let alone scientific classifications.

The Acadians (Cajun) settled along the north shore of the Acadia Peninsula, now Nova Scotia, along the Bay of Fundy.  The main purpose of the settlement was to provide fur trade for France.  \n\nA distinct Acadian culture gradually evolved. The Acadians fished and farmed, and claimed valuable farmlands from the bay by building dykes. A sense of community life and independence grew as they worked together to survive. By 1750, the population of Acadia had exceeded 10,000. \n\nAcadian culture is well and alive in Nova Scotia. In the summer, visitors can attend many Acadian festivals, as there are several of them across the province from May to August.

Good answers so far, but one thing nobody has mentioned yet is oxygen depravation.  Unless the pond is extremely shallow - Ice will only form a top layer a few feet thick.  This layer however effectively seals off the water from the air interface - preventing oxygen exchange.  Amphibians and some turtles will hibernate, but invertebrates and fish will remain active throughout the year.\n\nThe fish should live initially, but if there are a lot of fish in your pond, or other animals for that matter, and the ice forms and remains for too long - the available oxygen in the water may be depleted - resulting in a noticable fish kill when the ice melts next spring.  Photosynthesis by algae and rooted plants may continue to provide some oxygen as long as the ice is transparent enough to let light through, but thick ice covered with snow pretty much shuts down this process.\n\nThis does happen very rarely in small northern lakes and ponds (I'm talking northern Minnesota or Canada here).  One trick often used by fisheries agencies is to dump loads of coal dust ontop of the ice.  The black dust helps to melt the snow and ice quicker in the spring on suspect lakes.

Fumigation. (but this is very expensive, not economical)\nLaunch a community program that encourages people to dispose water collections like cans, bottles, drums around their houses.\nEducate the community that containers that hold water should be closed with a lid (to avoid mosquitoes from breeding there) or be disposed of.

Taiga (IPA pronunciation: /'taɪgə/, from the Russian тайга́) is a biome characterized by coniferous forests. Covering most of inland Canada, northern Russia, and Siberia, the taiga is the world's largest terrestrial biome and one of the major sources of oxygen. In Canada, boreal forest is the term used to refer to the southern part of this biome, while taiga is used to describe the more barren northern areas south of the Arctic tree-line.\n\nSince North America and Eurasia were recently connected by the Bering land bridge, a number of animal and plant species (more animals than plants) were able to colonise both continents and are distributed throughout the taiga biome. Others differ regionally, typically with each genus having several distinct species each occupying different regions of the taiga.\n\nClimate and geography\nThe taiga biome has a harsh continental climate with a very large temperature range between summer and winter, classified as "Dfc" or "Dfb" in the Köppen climate classification scheme. Aside from the tundra and permanent ice caps, it is the coldest biome on Earth. High latitudes mean that for much of the year the Sun hovers at the horizon; winters last at least 6 months, with average temperatures below freezing. Temperatures vary from -50 ˚C to 30 ˚C throughout the whole year, with 8 or more months of temperatures averging below 10 ˚C. The summers, while short, are generally warm and humid.\n\nThe taiga experiences relatively low precipitation throughout the year (200-750 mm annually), primarily as rain during the summer but also as fog and snow, but as evaporation is also low for most of the year, precipitation exceeds evaporation and is sufficient for dense vegetation growth.\n\nMuch of the area currently classified as taiga was recently glaciated. As the glaciers receded, they gouged out depressions in the topography. These depressions have since filled with water, creating lakes and bogs (especially muskeg soil) that can be found throughout the taiga.\n\nSoil of taiga is very acidic. When needles fallen from conifers decompose, they secrete an acid which prevents plants other than conifers from growing there. This process, termed allelopathy, also occurs where evergreen trees are planted in other biomes, such as temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, slowing the rate at which the area returns to its natural state. The soil is called podsol.\n\nTaiga biomes are not found in the Southern Hemisphere because there is little landmass at the characteristic latitudes, with little similarity even in the Magellanic subpolar forests of Chile and Argentina, where the climate is strongly oceanic.\n\nFlora\nThe forests of the taiga are largely coniferous, dominated by larch, spruce, and pine. Evergreen species in the taiga (spruce and pine) have a number of adaptations specifically for survival in harsh taiga winters, though larch, the most cold-tolerant of all trees, is deciduous. Because the Sun is low in the horizon for most of the year, it is difficult for plants to generate energy from photosynthesis. Pine and spruce do not lose their leaves seasonally and are able to photosynthesize with their older leaves in late winter and spring when light is good but temperatures are still too low for new growth to commence. The adaptation of evergreen needles limits the water lost due to transpiration and their dark green color increases their absorption of sunlight. Although precipitation is not a limiting factor, the ground freezes during the winter months and plant roots are unable to absorb water, so desiccation can be a severe problem in late winter for evergreens.\n\nAlthough the taiga is dominated by coniferous forests, some broadleaf trees also occur, notably birch, aspen, willow, and rowan. Many smaller herbaceous plants grow closer to the ground. Periodic stand-replacing wildfires (with return times of between 20-200 years) clear out the tree canopies, allowing sunlight to

i cant make sense of your question, \n\nanyhow's Jungle is a name for the regions of the world that are characterized by the lack of vegetation, snow and freezing temperatures. Most commonly, they extend to cover the regions around the equator - although during an ice age, the jungle regions tend to shrink to less than half the size of today. There are many types of jungle terrain. They include rain forest, mountain jungle and plain simple jungle.

Mosquitoes Need Water: All mosquitoes have four stages of development-egg, larva, pupa, and adult-and spend their larval and pupal stages in water. The females of some mosquito species deposit eggs on moist surfaces, such as mud or fallen leaves, that may be near water but dry. Later, rain or high tides reflood these surfaces and stimulate the eggs to hatch into larvae. The females of other species deposit their eggs directly on the surface of still water in such places as ditches, street catch basins, tire tracks, streams that are drying up, and fields or excavations that hold water for some time. This water is often stagnant and close to the home in discarded tires, ornamental pools, unused wading and swimming pools, tin cans, bird baths, plant saucers, and even gutters and flat roofs. The eggs deposited on such waters soon hatch into larvae. In the hot summer months, larvae grow rapidly, become pupae, and emerge one week later as flying adult mosquitoes. A few important spring species have only one generation per year. However, most species have many generations per year, and their rapid increase in numbers becomes a problem
