Click here to find out more... click to enlarge Photo by: Michael Fogden/Bruce Coleman Inc. Insect, common name given to any animal of a class belonging to the arthropod phylum. The insects are the largest class in the animal world, outnumbering all other animals. At least 800,000 species have been described, and entomologists believe that as many or more remain to be discovered. The class is distributed throughout the world from the polar regions to the tropics and is found on land, in fresh and salt water, and in salt lakes and hot springs. The insects reach their greatest number and variety, however, in the tropics. In size, the insects also exhibit great variation. Some small parasitic insects are less than 0.025 cm (less than 0.01 in) in length when fully grown, whereas at least one fossilized species related to the modern dragonflies is known to have had a wingspread of more than 60 cm (24 in). The largest insects today are certain stick insects about 30 cm (about 12 in) long and certain moths with wingspans of about 30 cm (about 12 in). Insects also are the most highly developed class of invertebrate animals, with the exception of some mollusks. Insects such as the bees, ants, and termites have elaborate social structures in which the various forms of activity necessary for the feeding, shelter, and reproduction of the colony are divided among individuals especially adapted for the various activities. Also, most insects achieve maturity by metamorphosis rather than by direct growth. In most species, the individual passes through at least two distinct and dissimilar stages before reaching its adult form.

Extractions: When you have finished this page, try the Insects Quiz Insects are part of a bigger animal group called arthropods. The word Arthropod literally means jointed limbs. The arthropods are the first animal group to have jointed legs. Insects have certain characteristics. They have six legs. They have three body parts, a head, a thorax and an abdomen. They have wings. They are by far the largest animal group. They also have an outer or exoskeleton made of a substance called chitin.. There are over 700, 000 species of insects. While they are relatively small in size compared to many animal groups, they are well adapted to their environments. Most insects live on land. All insects grow from eggs. They go through various stages until they reach adulthood. This transformation through these stages is called metamorphosis. Insects undergo either complete or incomplete metamorphosis. The dragonfly, termite, grasshopper and true bug undergo incomplete metamorphosis. In this process there are three stages called egg, nymph and adult. When the nymph hatches from the egg, it looks like the adult insect except it is smaller, has no wings and cannot reproduce yet. As the nymph grows it outgrows its outside skeleton and it is shed. It then regrows a new one. This happens several times before it finally becomes an adult. Insects like the butterfly, bee, ant, beetle and fly undergo complete metamorphosis. This involves four stages: egg, larvae, pupae and adult. The larvae looks like a worm and hatches from the egg. As it grows, it also sheds it skin. It then grows into a pupa. While the pupa doesn't move around like the larva, it does eventually at this stage change from an immature form to adult form.

Insect Fossils Classification And Hexapoda
The preservation of insects in sedimentary rocks is relatively rare. This article discusses the evolution of insects and provides photographs of some fossilized hexapod remains.
http://www.fossilmuseum.net/Tree_of_Life/PhylumArthropoda/Subphylum-Hexapoda/sub

Extractions: Unlike the trilobite that has left a prodigious fossil record fossil resinite (amber, by street name), where it is possible for even the minutest details to be preserved right down to fragments of DNA. Despite their huge strength to weight ratio, insects were often too small to escape the sticky resin exuded by trees, and which later became a fossil itself, with physical properties akin to modern polymerized plastics. Countering low probability of fossilization is the prodigious fecundity of insects. While lifetime insect fecundity varies enormously across taxa, from less than ten to several millions of eggs, most insects lay between a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand eggs ( Hinton 1981 Insect evolution is a powerful illustration of decent with modification.

Extractions: Science and technology news October 29, 2010 The giant dragonflies of ancient Earth with wingspans of up to 70 centimeters (28 inches) are generally attributed to higher oxygen atmospheric levels in the atmosphere in the past. New experiments in raising modern insects in various oxygen-enriched atmospheres have confirmed that dragonflies grow bigger with more oxygen, or hyperoxia. However, not all insects were larger when oxygen was higher in the past. For instance, the largest cockroaches ever are skittering around today. The question becomes how and why do different groups respond to changes in atmospheric oxygen The secrets to why these changes happened may be in the hollow tracheal tubes insects use to breathe. Getting a better handle on those changes in modern insects could make it possible to use fossilized insects as proxies for ancient oxygen levels. "Our main interest is in how paleo-oxygen levels would have influenced the evolution of insects," said John VandenBrooks of Arizona State University in Tempe. To do that they decided to look at the plasticity of modern insects raised in different oxygen concentrations. The team raised cockroaches, dragonflies, grasshoppers, meal worms, beetles and other insects in atmospheres containing different amounts of oxygen to see if there were any effects.

Angels And Insects | TheCelebrityCafe.com
Review by Mary F. Sibley.
http://www.thecelebritycafe.com/movies/full_review/226.html

Extractions: William Adamson (Mark Rylance) portrays an entomologist who has recently come back to England after years spent in the rainforests and sweltering infernos of the Amazon. His voyage back is not without misfortune, as his ship sinks with all of his prized possessions lost to the sea. He has had a benefactor in his pursuit of scientific ventures, Sir Harald Alabaster (Jeremy Kemp), a gentrified country minister who is the pater familias of a large number of offspring; seven girls of varying ages, and one son. Sir Harald is an ardent collector of zoological and entomological paraphernalia, and as such, was expecting great discourses of newly gained objects for his collections. Adamson does not disappoint and this is the crux of the story. He brings back a surprise, the only thing saved a rare species of butterfly, the Morpho Eugenia. Around this fanciful and beautiful creature, his life and the lives of those he will touch, will change forever.

http://www.turffiles.ncsu.edu/Insects/Default.aspx

Extractions: NCSU Department of Entomology Website helping identify insects online Insects The insect will always have three basic body parts: the head, thorax and abdomen. Most insects have a pair of compound eyes and maybe one to three simple eyes. The legs and wings are always attached to the thorax or middle section. There are no exceptions to this. Internally the thorax is usually the site of various powerful muscles responsible for locomotion, whether it be the legs or wings. The abdomen contains organs for respiration, excretion, and digestion. In some insects the abdomen contains protective devices such as stingers (fire ants and wasps). Most of the spiracles (breathing holes) are located on the abdomen, but a couple can also be found on the thorax. Legs always are attached to the thorax. Of all the systems of insects the one the compares in similarity to mammals and humans is that of the nervous system. Despite great differences between insects, and us the mechanism by which the nervous system works is quite similar. The nervous system is made up of axons, which transfer information of signals. Between the axons is a gap called a synapsis. This could be considered similar to a spark plug gap. Rather than a spark jump across the gap, a signal must cross it. This is done by a compound called acetylcholine. The presence of this compound causes a message to be relayed to the next axon by its dendrites. This happens very quickly. Almost as quickly is the disruption of the message. A new compound is introduced called acetylcholineesterase. This compound basically stops the action of the acetylcholine. This is a good thing! Without the action of acetylcholinesterase, the affect of the acetylcholine would continue.
