4. Insect Vocabulary Chitin Ecdysis Elytra Entomology Haltere Larva Instar Malpighian tubules Metamorphosis Nymph Ovipositor Pheromones Pupa Spiracles Tympanum

5. Insects

6. Chitin – Material that makes up the exoskeleton. Ecdysis – correct term for molting/shedding of exoskeleton

7. Elytra front wings of beetles modified into wing cover.

8. Entomology The study of insects

9. Haltere – modified 2 nd pr of wings in flies.

10. Larva Feeding stage in complete metamorphosis.

11. Instar Each of the stages between molts.

12. Malpighian tubules The excretory structures (“kidneys”) of the insect.

13. Metamorphosis “Change in form” during growth. Complete – separate stages (larva, pupa) More advanced All the most successful orders have complete metamorphosis Incomplete – young resemble adult

14. Nymph Immature stage. Resembles the adult to some extent. A stage in incomplete metamorphosis.

15. Ovipositor Egg laying structure (female only) Becomes sting in bees and wasps

16. Pheromones Chemical messages, like hormones but released into the environment. Lock and key with receptors on the male antenna 1 mile range!

17. Pupa Transformation stage where the larva changes to an adult. Special terms like cocoon or chrysalis

18. Spiracles Openings to the breathing tubes (tracheae) which support respiration in insects.

19. Tympanum The “ear” of the insect.

20. General Insect Characteristics 3 body parts, head, thorax, abdomen 6 legs, usually 2 pr. Wings - all from thorax Exoskeleton of chitin Breathe by spiracles/tracheae Wide variety of mouthparts Complete or incomplete metamorphosis Estimates as high as 30 million species

25. Ants & Bees - Hymenoptera Wings - 2 pr. Linked, membrane winged Mouthparts - Chewing Metamorphosis - Complete Other - Social, solitary or parasites, 3rd largest Narrow constriction between thorax and abdomen Ovipositor modified into sting

26. Ants & Bees - Hymenoptera

27. Flies - Diptera Wings - only 1 pr. 2nd pr - halteres, for balance Mouthparts - lapping or biting Metamorphosis - complete, larva are maggots or wigglers (mosquitos) Other - disease carriers; 4th largest Gnats, midges, punkies

28. Flies - Diptera

29. Dragonflies - Odonata Wings - 2 pair Mouthparts - chewing Metamorphosis - Incomplete, aquatic nymphs, rectal gills, jet propulsion Other – predators, even as nymphs Damselflies can fold wings against body, narrow abdomen Legs form a basket underneath Fossil dragonflies wingspan, 2 ½ feet.

30. Dragonflies - Odonata

31. Grasshoppers - Orthoptera Wings - 2 pr - straight - 1st leathery Mouthparts - Chewing Metamorphosis - Incomplete Other - roaches, mantids, grasshoppers, walking sticks, etc.
