Study Notes
Aim and Objectives
- Establish a clear understanding of insect biology and behavior.
- Explore the ecological roles insects play, both beneficial and harmful.
Introduction
- Insects are a diverse group of organisms essential to ecosystems.
Physical Features of Insects
- Insects possess three main body parts: head, thorax, and abdomen.
- They have an exoskeleton made of chitin, which provides support and protection.
- Most insects have six legs, compound eyes, and one pair of antennae.
Where Do Insects Live and What Do They Eat?

- Their diets vary widely; some are herbivores, while others are carnivores or detritivores.
Life Cycle of Insects
- Insects undergo metamorphosis, typically involving stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
- The life cycle can vary significantly among species, with some having complete metamorphosis while others have incomplete.
Habits and Behaviour
- Insects display diverse behaviors, including social structures in species like ants and bees.
- Communication methods include chemical signals (pheromones) and sounds.
Insects That Are Harmful and Helpful to the Environment
- Some insects, like bees and butterflies, are critical for pollination, supporting plant reproduction.
- Others, like mosquitoes and locusts, can transmit diseases or damage crops.
End of Unit
- Summary includes insights into insect biology and their ecological significance.
- Emphasizes the dual nature of insects as both beneficial and harmful organisms.
