    Extractions: Insects page 1 Introduction There are more than 800,000 species (kinds) of insects and still many more are discovered every year. The body of an adult insect has 3 main parts - the head, the thorax (or chest) and the abdomen. Almost all adult insects have a pair of feelers or antennae, at the front of the head. Every adult insect has six legs and most of them have one or two pairs of wings. The thorax is the locomotion center. It is packed with powerful muscles which operate the insect's 6 legs as well as its wings. An adult insect wears its skeleton outside its body. This tough shell is light so the insect can still fly. The skeleton acts like a raincoat and keeps water from soaking into the body and from leaving the body! It protects the insect from heat and cold and from some of its enemies. Even though most butterflies and moths can glide for short periods of time most flying insects have thin wings and must beat their wings rapidly in order to get the lift they need. Bee's wings move forward, backward and up and down. Bees flap their wings over 100 times a second. The tiny "midge" beats its wings up to 1000 cycles per second! What is the purpose of flying? It is to carry pollen, flee from enemies, capture food, and mate. How Insects Fly Insects were the first creatures to develop wings. Since the wings are a part of the insect's back, or external skeleton, they do not develop until adulthood, just in time to mate. Originally, all winged insects had four separate wings as do all dragonflies today. But more recently, most insects, that have four wings, flap them together and have connected wing surfaces. For example, a Cicada Killer-Wasp rows through the air with a figure eight motion on wings coupled together by a "zipper". The wings are feathered like oars on the upbeat; on the downbeat, they spank the air-flat on; in-between they start to twist in anticipation of their next upward stroke. Other insects either have only two wings or only use two of their four wings to fly.

    Extractions: Stinging Insects Insect venom allergies are common , especially allergies to members of the Hymenoptera order of insects While a normal response to an insect sting may consist of reddening and some pain, an anaphylactic response is much more serious and can involve changes in breathing and loss of consciousness. Usually once you have experienced an allergic response you are likely to experience a subsequent response when exposed to the insect culprit, but the severity of the response can vary. If you, or someone you know, has an insect venom allergy then you should learn how to prevent and treat insect stings. You may also be interested to learn more about insect sting allergies , including information on common insect culprits and what to do if someone is stung. Incidence It is estimated that 0.5% to 5% of the population of the United States, or as many as 13 million people, have insect venom allergies. Many of these venom-sensitive individuals are at risk for life-threatening anaphylactic reactions. An estimated 40 to 100 deaths due to anaphylaxis caused by insect venom are reported each year, half of which are attributed to

    Extractions: Related Resources Adopt a Hissing Cockroach or Goliath Bird-eating Tarantula The insect class comprises the most diverse group of animals on the earth and constitutes more than half of all described animal species. Insect species also make up close to 90 percent (800,000 of 900,000) of all arthropod species. The most distinctive attributes of insects are their (generally) small size, wings and metamorphosis. Feeding habits are vastly different, depending on the species of insect. Some eat leaves, flowers, seeds, fruits, bark, or roots from plants; others feed on the nectar or collect the pollen from flowers; while some prey on other insects. Habitat Insects are widely distributed around the world, more so than any other group of animals; they are everywhere that green plants grow. Although they are mainly terrestrial, there are also insects that live in aquatic habitats (both fresh water and marine). Body Like all arthropods, insects have an exoskeleton to support muscles and protect their body. Touch receptors are found on the antennae, legs, and feet. Insect bodies are composed of three distinct regions: The head, the thorax, and the abdomen. Growth and Development (Metamorphosis) Insects increase in size by molting their outer layer. This occurs regularly in the larval stage because growth occurs very quickly.

    Extractions: Incredible Insects by Linda C. Joseph, Columbus (Ohio) Public Schools, Library of Congress [Editor's note: URLs mentioned in this article appear in the chart that follows.] P ests, workers, artists—the intrepid insects of the world fascinate, annoy, and benefit humankind. From butterflies to bees to the lowly cockroach, insects are an integral part of the natural environment, making their mark on culture through rhyme and lore. Who can resist Jiminy Cricket, a bug transformed into a wise intellectual who advises Pinocchio and encourages kids to get the en-cy-clo-pe-di-a to find information? Who hasn't chuckled at unsuspecting bugs planning an attack only to be foiled by RAID? What causes fireflies to blink? Did you ever wonder about the origin of "Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite?" Sleep tight is a reference to the tightening of ropes that supported mattresses on old beds and don't let the bed bugs bite refers to the critters that sometimes lived in the wooden frame. Regardless of the reactions by students, insect studies are a favorite in the classroom. Let's delve into the insect world and see what we can learn. Insect Starting Points Citybugs Bug identification is a snap. Kids can use the guided search by answering a series of questions, or they can browse through images. Two features that will be very helpful to your budding entomologists are the pages about where to find bugs and how to make a bug collection. Ask the expert, insect anatomy, and lots of resources are furnished as well. This Web site is a collaborative outreach project between UC Berkeley's College of Natural Resources and the Oakland Unified School District in California.

    Extractions: Fossil Insects Description: Insects were the first animals on Earth to develop flight, which is probably one reason they've been so successful. In sheer numbers, insects dominate the animal kingdom, with over 750,000 living species described. This is more than all the other living animal species combined, and scientists estimate that there are perhaps at least a million more insect species that have not yet been described. Insects were probably similarly abundant in the past, but the fossil record of insects is limited, with only about 7,000 species known. The scarcity of insect fossils (compared to their present, and probable past, diversity) is a consequence of their relative fragility, lack of hard parts, and the fact that they lived on land. Rapid burial is essential for preservation, and this is more likely to happen in and around water than on land. This Permian fossil, Dunbaria fascipennis, The oldest fossil insects are primitive, wingless insects (similar to modern silverfish and springtails) that lived during the early part of the Middle Devonian Period,
