Section 1 The Insect World
Characteristics and Classification of Insects • The insect body is divided into three tagmata: – The head has mandibles and one pair of unbranched antennae. – The thorax has three pairs of jointed legs and, in many species, one or two pairs of wings. – The abdomen has 9 to 11 segments but neither wings nor legs in adults.

Section 1 The Insect World
Characteristics and Classification of Insects •
The study of insects and other terrestrial arthropods is called entomology, and the scientists who engage in it are known as entomologists.
•
Entomologists classify insects into more than 25 orders based on characteristics such as: – structure of mouthparts – number of wings – type of development

The Grasshopper External Structure • The body of a grasshopper has three tagmata: – The head bears the mouthparts, a pair of unbranched antennae, and pairs of simple and compound eyes. – The thorax is composed of the prothorax, the mesothorax, and the metathorax. – The abdomen has upper and lower plates. • The rigid exoskeleton and its waxy cuticle covering are adaptations for a terrestrial life.

The Grasshopper, continued Reproduction • Grasshoppers have separate sexes, as do all insects. • During mating, the male deposits sperm into the female’s seminal receptacle, where the eggs are fertilized internally. • The last segment of the female’s abdomen forms the ovipositor, which she uses to lay fertilized eggs.

Section 1 The Insect World
Insect Development • Most insects go through metamorphosis. • In incomplete metamorphosis, a nymph hatches from an egg and resembles the adult but has undeveloped reproductive organs and no wings. The nymph molts several times to become an adult. • In complete metamorphosis, a wormlike larva called a caterpillar hatches from an egg and molts several times before becoming a pupa. The pupa molts to produce the adult, which resembles neither the larva nor the pupa. Chapter menu

Section 2 Insect Behavior
Behavior in Honey Bees • Social insects live in complex groups or colonies. • The division of labor among social insects creates interdependence and a need for communication. • The social behavior of these insects is genetically determined behavior, or innate behavior. • Honeybee colonies consist mostly of female worker bees. They perform all duties but they do not produce their own offspring. • Reproduction in each colony is the exclusive function of one queen bee and a few hundred male drones. Chapter menu

Section 2 Insect Behavior
Behavior in Honey Bees, continued • Worker bees perform many functions during their lifetime, which lasts about six weeks. • At one stage, worker bees are called nurse bees and secrete royal jelly, which they feed to the queen and youngest larvae. • The queen bee develops when selected larvae are fed a continuous diet of royal jelly. • As a new queen matures, she secretes queen factor, which prevents other female larvae from developing into queens.

Section 2 Insect Behavior
Behavior in Honey Bees, continued The Dances of the Bees • Honeybees communicate the direction and distance to food sources by performing dances inside the hive. • Honeybees use two types of dances: – The round dance indicates that a food source is nearby. – The waggle dance indicates the direction of food and the food’s distance from the hive.

Short Response, continued Defensive adaptations in insects increase the chances of insects’ survival. Distinguish between passive defenses and aggressive defenses, and give two examples of each. Answer: Passive defenses don’t involve behavior. Examples include camouflage, warning coloration, being poisonous, or tasting bad. Aggressive defenses involve aggressive behavior, such as stinging a potential predator or spraying it with a noxious chemical. Chapter menu

Extended Response Base your answers to parts A & B on the information below. Farmers often try to limit the number of insects on crops by applying chemical insecticides to the crops. Sometimes, an insecticide that had previously been effective no longer affects certain types of insects. Part A Why do farmers try to control insects? Part B How can the effect of insecticides on certain insect populations change?

Extended Response, continued Answer Part A Insects can cause extensive crop damage. Part B Insecticides may control pest populations at first. However, insects with genes that confer pesticide resistance may survive and reproduce in large numbers while non-resistant insects die off. The result is an insect population that has evolved resistance to the insecticide.
