INSECT OVERVIEW & THE ENVIRONMENT
• General view of insects• Why insects is successful• The importance of insects
– Examples
![Page 6: PLP 3104 FUNDAMENTALS OF ENTOMOLOGY GROUP 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568167f3550346895ddd686e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
WHY STUDY INSECTS??
![Page 7: PLP 3104 FUNDAMENTALS OF ENTOMOLOGY GROUP 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568167f3550346895ddd686e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• ESTIMATION: 2 MILL. ANIMAL SPECIES
• >70% ARE INSECTS SPECIES
![Page 8: PLP 3104 FUNDAMENTALS OF ENTOMOLOGY GROUP 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568167f3550346895ddd686e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why so successful?
• 1) Exoskeleton– Outside of the body unlike vertebrate– Gives shape & support to soft tissues– protection from attack or injury– minimizes the loss of body fluids in both arid
and freshwater environments (has wax)– assures mechanical advantage to muscles for
strength and agility in movement.
![Page 9: PLP 3104 FUNDAMENTALS OF ENTOMOLOGY GROUP 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568167f3550346895ddd686e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why so successful?
•Fairyflies (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae)
•no more than 0.139 mm in length.
33 cm: stick insect
goliath beetle: 100 g
•2) small size
![Page 10: PLP 3104 FUNDAMENTALS OF ENTOMOLOGY GROUP 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568167f3550346895ddd686e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why so successful?
• Being small, exoskeleton also small• Being big, exosk. must be big: HEAVY!!!!!
![Page 11: PLP 3104 FUNDAMENTALS OF ENTOMOLOGY GROUP 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568167f3550346895ddd686e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• minimal resources needed for survival and reproduction

• Easy to hide from predator• hide in the cracks of a rock, beneath the
bark of a tree, behind the petal of a flower
![Page 13: PLP 3104 FUNDAMENTALS OF ENTOMOLOGY GROUP 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568167f3550346895ddd686e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

• 3) Flight– the only invertebrate that can fly– highly effective mode of escape from
predators– efficient means of transportation, allowing
populations to expand more quickly into new habitats
![Page 15: PLP 3104 FUNDAMENTALS OF ENTOMOLOGY GROUP 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568167f3550346895ddd686e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The migratory locust, Schistocerca gregaria, can fly for up to 9 hours without stopping
![Page 16: PLP 3104 FUNDAMENTALS OF ENTOMOLOGY GROUP 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568167f3550346895ddd686e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• 4) reproductive potential– Produce large number of eggs– High fertility (most eggs hatch)– Short life cycle– Female have spermatheca for sperm storage– Asexual reproduction (aphids,thrips,scale
insects: males are absent)
![Page 17: PLP 3104 FUNDAMENTALS OF ENTOMOLOGY GROUP 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568167f3550346895ddd686e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• 5) metamorphosis– 86% insect species undergo complete
metamorphosis– immatures and adults (imago) may consume
different types of food, exploit different environmental resources, and even occupy different habitats.
– Eg: butterfly: larva consumes leaves, adult comsumes nectar
![Page 18: PLP 3104 FUNDAMENTALS OF ENTOMOLOGY GROUP 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568167f3550346895ddd686e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• 6) adaptation of appendages– Various type of mouth(piercing,
sucking,chewing)– Consume various type of food
![Page 19: PLP 3104 FUNDAMENTALS OF ENTOMOLOGY GROUP 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568167f3550346895ddd686e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

– iii) Enteric diseases (Bacterial and viral infections of the gastrointestinal tract)• Eg: Cholera, Typhoid Fever• Usually by housefly: fecal contamination of
food and water– iv) Sleeping sickness (Africa)
• A bite from Tsetse fly: protozoa Trypanosoma brucei

• 4) Food source for animals/human
• 5) Decomposers (dung beetle, flies etc.)
![Page 25: PLP 3104 FUNDAMENTALS OF ENTOMOLOGY GROUP 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061606/568167f3550346895ddd686e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• 6) Bioindicator of stream health– Dragonfly spp
• 7) Biotic indicator for Forensic Entomology– Some flies, spp. colonizing human corpse
• 8) Production– Honey & Wax (Apis mellifera)– Silk (silkworm (Bombyx mori)– Cochneal (red dye) (Scale insect)– Shellac (Scale insect)
