Insects

Four insect Orders have species that are ectoparasitic on mammals and birds. Adult members of these Orders have the typical structural features with a hard chitinous exoskeleton, three main body regions (head, thorax and abdomen), six legs (attached to the thorax) and usually two pairs of wings (also attached at the thorax).

The head is usually characterized by the presence of the mouthparts, as well as a pair of compound eyes and a pair of antennae which comprise two important sensory elements. Legs, attached at the thorax, are multi-segmented (six main subdivisions) with a set of terminal tarsi that have various structures (tarsal claws) that aid in gripping the surface as well as having a wide variety of sensory structures that aid in host selection/acceptance.

Sensory structures on the tarsi regulate feeding as well as recognition of mates. Wings are membranous with a variable number of thickened veins that are key features in identification of many insects. The abdomen contains the main portions of the post-oral alimentary canal, including midgut, hindgut and associated cecae.

The main osmo-regulatory organs, known as Malpigian tubules, float freely in the body cavity and connect with the gut at the midgut-hindgut junction. All of the reproductive organs are located in the abdomen and open to the exterior through terminal genital openings.

Following mating insects produce eggs in which embryonic development occurs. Larval stages exit the eggs and begin searching for suitable food sources. Larvae grow and develop through periodic shedding of the exoskeleton (a process known as ecdysis or molting). The larval stage between each molt is referred to as an instar. The number of instars required to reach maturity ranges from three to six in most insects.

Two major modes of development are known in insects; one, characteristic of groups early in insect evolution, in which the change in features between larvae and adults is gradual (i.e. the larvae and adults appear supaerficially similar) and is known as incomplete metamorphosis. This group of insects is also referred to as hemimetabolous. The developmental stages in this mode of development are egg, nymph (of which there may be several) and adult. Larvae and adults usually occupy similar niches and utilize similar food sources.

The second developmental mode is known as complete metamorphosis in which there are dramatic structural differences between larval stages and the adult. This group of insects is also referred to as holometabolous. In this mode of development the last larval stage forms a pupa within which the structural changes the lead to the adult form occur. The lifecycle stages in this mode are egg, larva (of which there maybe several), pupa and adult. Larvae and adults usually occupy distinctly different ecological niches and utilize completely different foods.

Ectoparasites are known from four insect Orders: Diptera (flies), Siphonaptera (fleas), Phthiratpera (lice) and Hemiptera (true bugs). Occasional ectoparasi.tic species are found in other orders, including Coleoptera (beetles) and Leptidoptera (butterflies and moths).
