2. Hey everybody, I’m looking for my perfect mate! I’m unique, special, and sure to keep you on your feet. My class is different than any others out there being the most diverse of any group of animals on the planet. We undergo metamorphosis and can fly. We help pollinate all kinds of flowers. Entomology, the study of insects, is even based on us. Hey everybody, I’m looking for my perfect mate! I’m unique, special, and sure to keep you on your feet.

3. Habitat I pretty much live anywhere. I pretty much live anywhere. Those of us that are terrestrial have a rigid exoskeleton to prevent water loss.

Others live in arboreal and aerial environments. Others live in arboreal and aerial environments. I eat many plants including farmer’s crops, competing with humans for food. I also eat other insects. I suck or chew my food. I eat many plants including farmer’s crops, competing with humans for food. I also eat other insects. I suck or chew my food.

4. My Hobbies I especially enjoy pollinating different plants including crops and orchards. I especially enjoy pollinating different plants including crops and orchards. I carry different diseases like malaria and African sleeping sickness. I carry different diseases like malaria and African sleeping sickness. I try hard to not be killed by those annoying pesticides.

5. Geneology Like I said, being able to fly is one of my best advancements. I can escape predators, find food, and also migrate to different habitats. My wings are extensions of my cuticle so I don’t have to give up walking legs to fly. Like I said, being able to fly is one of my best advancements.

My metamorphosis allows me to develop and change. My metamorphosis allows me to develop and change. Some of us undergo incomplete metamorphosis where the young resembles the adult and changes little by little until reaching the full size of an adult.

Others go through complete metamorphosis which has a larval stage that looks nothing like the adult. During the pupal stage, we change from the larval stage to the adult stage occurs.

7. So I’m looking for… Usually I only mate once in my life, so I’m looking for a strong mate with plenty of good genes. Internal fertilization is a must. I also want someone that can fly and that will undergo metamorphosis to keep up with me. I want someone who will be able to find lots of food and accompany me in pollinating flowers.
