  1. Arthropoda “Jointed Leg”

  2. Body Structure Exoskeleton protects the muscles, nerves, and internal organs Hairs Act as sense organs Segmented Bodies Head Thorax and Abdomen Bilateral Symmetry Antennae used for feeling and smelling Compound Eyes Detect motion and distance accurately

  3. Habitat Forests Deserts Mountains Fields Homes Schools Lakes Ponds Rivers Oceans Hair BEDS EVERYWHERE!

  4. Food and Oxygen Intake All have an open circulatory system Some Carnivores, Omnivores, and Herbivores Most so small that oxygen carries right through their small bodies Arachnids (Spiders) Have “Book Lungs” to help spread oxygen throughout the body Some use a hemoglobin like substance to spread oxygen through body

  5. Movement Arthropod=Segmented Legs Some winged

  6. Reproduction Most internal fertilization Most need a mate Most lay eggs

  7. Species 75% of all animals on Earth More than 1 million KNOWN species 5 Classes Insecta Arachnida Crustacea Diploda (millipedes) Chilopoda (centipedes)

  8. Human Interactions Pollination Food Destruction Disease

  9. Interesting Facts # 95% of all the animal species on the earth are insects! Over one million species have been discovered by scientists, and they think that there might be ten times that many that haven't been named yet! No one really knows why insect like light. Most scientists think that bright lights confuse the insects' guidance systems so they can't fly straight any more. There are thirty-five thousand kinds of ants in the world. With over 300,000 different species, one out of every four animals on earth is a beetle. A female ladybug will lay more than 1000 eggs in her lifetime. The fastest land moving insects are the tropical cockroaches. They can move 50 body lengths per second. This would be equivalent to a human sprinter running the 100 yard dash in 1 second or approximately 200MPH! The longest insect is a walking stick that can reach a length of 33 centimetres Praying mantids are among the few insects which can rotate their heads so they can literally look over their shoulders.
