   Extractions: Insects are arthropods (a type of invertebrate , animals that lack a backbone). All insects have a hard exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax, and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes, and two antennae. The legs (and wings, if applicable) are attached to the thorax. Insects breathe through holes called spiracles. Insects hatch from eggs. Insect means "segmented" in Latin. There are about a million different types of insects and many more that have not been discovered yet. Insects (Class Insecta) are currently divided into

   Extractions: The most diverse group of animals on the planet, insects are generally classified as any of numerous invertebrate animals that are a member of the phylum Arthropoda, and of the class Insecta. Modern insects range in size from less than a millimeter to over 18 centimeters in size. An insect’s adult body in characterized by three pairs of legs and a body segmented into a head, thorax, and abdomen, and usually two pairs of wings. Virtually all insects are born from an egg laid by their mother. Some of the most common and well known insect species include flies, crickets, mosquitoes, beetles, butterflies, and bees. There are approximately 5,000 dragonfly species, 2,000 praying mantis, 20,000 grasshopper, 170,000 butterfly and moth, 120,000 fly, 82,000 true bug, 350,000 beetle, and 110,000 bee and ant species that have been discovered to this date, for a total of more than 925,000 species. It is estimated that there could be as many as 15-30 million species of insects that have yet to be discovered by science. The scientific study of insects is also known as entomology.

   Extractions: The Topic: Insects Easier - Insects are small creatures (animal kingdom) with three pair of legs, a body with three main sections, and tough shell-like outer covering. Insects do not have a backbone. Most have one or two pair of wings and a pair of antennae. Harder - Insects first appeared on earth at least 400 million years ago. Today, they live almost everywhere, from steamy tropical jungles to cold polar regions. Entomologists (scientists who study insects) estimate that the average number of insects for each square mile (2.6 square kilometers) of land equals the total number of people on the earth. Scientists have identified and named more than 11/2 million species of animals. Of these, about 1 million are insects. Entomologists discover from 7,000 to 10,000 new species of insects each year. Some believe there may be from 1 million to 10 million species still undiscovered. In the world of entomology, there are still vast frontiers of knowledge still to be discovered. All insects have three pairs of legs, a body divided into three main parts (head, thorax, and abdomen) and an exoskeleton. The insect's muscles are attached to the inside wall of the exoskeleton. The exoskeleton does not grow with an insect; therefore in time, the exoskeleton becomes too tight and must be shed in a process is called molting. Most adult insects have two large compound eyes, made up of separate, sometimes thousands of lenses. Insects are the only animals besides birds and bats to have wings. Most adult insects have two (flies) or four wings (wasps). Their sense of smell is located chiefly in the antennae. A few insects, like ants, bees, and wasps, also have taste organs on their antennae.

   Extractions: by Julie Parks and Eileen Sullivan FOCUS : Students will explore the world of insects to expand their knowledge of ants, bees, butterflies, caterpillars and ladybugs. GRADE LEVEL : Primary OBJECTIVES 1. Identify the characteristics of an insect. 2. Identify habitats of insects. 3. Describe the process of metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a butterfly. 4. Identify the various roles of bees such as queen, workers, robbers, etc. in making honey. 5. Identify the parts of an ant's anatomy and the roles within an ant colony. 6. Identify the characteristics of a ladybug. SETTING THE STAGE: PRE-ACTIVITIES Insect Library : Prepare your classroom for a unit on insects by collecting books, magazines and pamphlets on insects, entomology, etc. (Refer to Related Literature.) Brainstorm : Brainstorm to see how much students know about insects by putting an idea web on the board and letting the students give their ideas while you write them down. Have them copy the web into their journals. At the end of the unit, have them complete and contrast what they've learned. Independent Reading : Introduce a time for silent independent reading. Plan periodic 15-20 minute slots for this activity and have a student read a book or article about insects. Give 15 minutes of reading homework and set a date for books to be finished. Have students take notes in their journals to be shared during the culminating activity.

   Extractions: Insect Facts and Information Did you know that there are many more kinds of insects on earth than any other kind of living creature? It's hard to imagine, but 95% of all the animal species on the earth are insects! Millions of insects can exist in a single acre of land! Over one million species have been discovered by scientists, and they think that there might be ten times that many that haven't been named yet! They are divided up into 32 orders, or groups of insects. The largest order is the beetles (Coleoptera) with 125 different families and around 500,000 different species. In fact, one out of every four animals on earth is a beetle. Scientists estimate that 10% of the animal biomass of the world is ants, and another 10% is termites. This means that 'social insects' probably make up an incredible 20% of the total animal biomass of this planet! Insects eat more plants than all the other creatures on earth! They are also so important in the breakdown of plant and animal matter, that without them, we would have a world covered with dead plants and animals! In addition to all of this, insects are a major food source for many other animals. Insects are incredibly adaptable creatures and have evolved to live successfully in most environments on earth, including deserts and even the Antarctic. The only place where insects are not commonly found is in the oceans. Insects have an amazing number of differences in size, shape, and behavior, but they all have 4 characteristics in common.

   Extractions: News Flash A New Insect Order Is Discovered There is much excitement in the entomological world at the momement as a new order of insects has just been discovered. To find out more visit the National Geographic news page. There are well over 1 million different known species of insects in the world, and some experts estimate that there might be as many as 10 million. All these species are divided up into about 32 orders, depending on whose taxonomic system you use, of which, the largest is the Beetles, or Coleoptera, with 125 different families and around 500,000 species they are an incredibly diverse group of animals. In fact, one in every four animal species on this planet is a beetle. Well, everywhere on land anyway, very few insects have colonised the sea, though some like the Marine Flies ( Halobates sp .) and the Seashore Collembolan, Anurida maritma , live on the surface. Also the larva of a small number of True Flies (Diptera) and Beetles (Coleoptera) live beneath the surface, mostly in rockpools. On the land however there isn't anyhere you can go that you can't find some insects, even in the frozen extremes of Arctica and Antartica you will find some insects alive and active during the warmer months.

    Northern Plains Agricultural Research Laboratory provides answers to common questions on insects, and points out the differences between them and arachnids.

    Extractions: Movie Gallery BACK TO NPARL CLICK HERE... Insects are animals that have: 1 pair of antennae 2 pairs of wings (if any) 3 pairs of legs 3 body parts: head, thorax and abdomen and an exoskeleton ("exo" means their skeleton is on the outside!) There are a group of insects called "true bugs" that differ from other insects in several ways. One way they are different is that they eat using a feeding tube instead of chewing jaws. You probably have seen Boxelder bugs a lot on HOT days at school or at home. Make sure you be careful though because their only way to defend themselves is to let off a stinky odor!!! That's probably why no other insects or animals like to eat them. That's right....Boxelder bugs have no natural enemies, except for YOU ! Boxelder bugs will leave a red stain if you step on them and so the only easy way to get them out of your sight is to get out your vacuum cleaner! Many people think anything with a lot of legs, like a spider, is an insect. But if it has eight legs as do spiders, ticks and scorpions, it is considered an arachnid, not an insect.

    Extractions: FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! Gypsy moths invaded my town last year. Photo: © Debbie Hadley, WILD Jersey Tussock moth caterpillars are voracious feeders, capable of defoliating large forests when they are present in large numbers. Many tussock moths in North America are actually introduced species from other continents. Of these, perhaps no tussock moth is better known, or more feared, than the gypsy moth. Gypsy moths ( Lymantria dispar are a part of life where I live in southern NJ. Some years you only see a few, and some years their populations increase to the point where controls are required to minimize tree damage. Last year was one of those years. Nearly every town in the area paid for aerial spraying of Bt ( Bacillus thuringiensis ), a naturally-occurring bacteria that destroys the caterpillar's digestive system. My own town, which covers 100 square miles and has an abundance of oak trees - the gypsy moth's favorite food - decided not to participate in the spraying last year. Our mayor argued that we could save $250,000 by leaving the gypsy moths to themselves. The photo, which I took in June of last year, shows what happened. Put simply, we were overrun with gypsy moths. In some areas of the town, you couldn't walk in your backyard, because the caterpillars were several inches thick and every surface was covered with frass (caterpillar poop).

    Extractions: Insects Insect identification can put your mind at ease if you are worried about termites because the insects cause great damage. This is why people want to see what termites look like. People just like you desperately want to see termite photos. Termite identification is very important because you want to ensure that any termite control you purchase is targeted to the right insect. Insects Termites can attack any home. A termite-free house should still get one or two annual visits from a trained pest control professional. Inground termite colony elimination systems are a good way to protect your home. Putting gravel and having positive pitch around your home keep the soil drier, preventing termites from tunneling.
