INTRODUCTION Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Subphylum: Mandibulata Class: Hexapoda or Insecta

90% of arthropods are insects Approximately 1 million insect species

EVOLUTION Fossils from 350 mya had wings and

were fully insects Modern groups found 300 mya 280 mya modern groups are dominant 65 mya nearly all modern orders known

EVOLUTION Legs as locomotive aids Clustered into head, thorax and

abdomen Disappeared or modified limbs

EVOLUTION Wings grew from gill-like apparatuses Compound eyes – one of the earliest

identifiers

SUBCLASSES DIVIDED INTO 2 SUBCLASSES & 31 ORDERS APTERYGOTA

Wingless insects 5 orders ~ 5425 species Example: Silverfish

PTERYGOTA Winged and secondarily wingless insects 26 orders ~ 949,770 species Example: Grasshopper

CHARACTERISTICS Bilateral Symmetry Segmented Bodies

Head, Thorax, and Abdomen Simple and Compound Eyes

Exoskeleton Advantages and Disadvantages

Jointed Appendages Legs and Antennae

Cold Blooded

CHARACTERISTICS Circulatory System Respiratory System Digestive System Nervous System

REPRODUCTION Mainly sexual reproduction Hatch from eggs Two types of development: complete

and incomplete metamorphosis.

COMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS

COMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS Egg, Larva, Pupa, Adult. Larva and adult live in totally different

habitats. 90% of insects go through Complete

Metamorphosis.

INCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS

INCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS Three Stages: egg, nymph, adult Ex. Mayflies and dragon flies.

MOSQUITO Order: Diptera Life span: 2 weeks-6 months Habitat Carry Deadly Diseases

Anopheles Culex Aedes

Blood suckers

FUN FACTS Ants can carry 50 times there weight For every human about 1 million ants Usually only male cricket chirps 1% are harmful to humans THEY CAN BE GOOD!

Products Honey Jewelry

Agriculture Pollination Pest control
