JOURNAL • Joe says that all spiders are bad. Convince him that they are actually good using information you’ve learned in this unit. • Please turn in: • Spider Labeling/Web WKST OR Spider Lab
SUBPHYLUM UNIRAMIA
Millipedes vs. Centipedes Class Diplopoda Class Chilopoda Centipedes 1 pair legs/segment About 15 body segments Flat bodies Habitat- moist areas Diet- carnivores Defense- Venomous maxilliped Bite feels like wasp sting • millipedes • 2 pairs legs/segment • 11-100 body segments • round bodies • Habitat- moist areas • Diet- herbivores • Defense- • Roll into a ball • Produce hydrogen cyanide repellant
General Body Structure • Three body regions a. Head b. Thorax c. Abdomen • One pair antennae • Six legs
Digestion/Feeding • Having different mouthparts reduces food competition among different species. • This is probably why insects are such a successful group of organisms. • Types: • Chewing- mandibles (grasshopper & most beetles)
Digestion/Feeding • Siphoning- tube for sucking (butterfly) • Piercing & sucking- cut thru skin or plants (mosquito, assassin bug) • Sponging- absorbing food (fly)
Excretion • Malpighian tubules- dump wastes into intestine. • Waste- uric acid crystals to prevent water loss.
Circulation • Open • Has heart that pumps blood into the hemocoel (body cavity) and ostia suck blood back up • Not used in gas exchange • Distributes nutrients, hormones, pheromones.
Respiration • Spiracles- holes in body thru which air enters • Tracheal tubes- extend length of body for distribution & exchange of gases.
Thermoregulation • Thermoregulation- control of body temperature • Ectothermic- organisms that cannot control their own body temperature • Bodies must warm up before able to fly.
Nervous/Sensory System • Compound eyes • Some images • Color (UV light) • Shape • Movement • Some have simple eyes-ocelli
What it actually sees… What an insect is looking at… Compound eye under the microscope.
Nervous/Sensory System • Some can detect odors- flies, bees • Tympanic membrane- • Amplify or detect sound • Located on legs or abdomen • Setae- hairs on legs, body, antennae • Movement • vibrations
Reproduction • Dioecious • Controlled by • Population density • Temperature • Seasons • Pheromones • Auditory signals
3. Females may use ovipositer to deposit eggs in soil, tree, leaf, etc.
External Anatomy of insect • Abdomen • Thorax • Head • Mandible • Antennae • Compound eye • Hemi-elytra (partial outer wing) • Hind wing (for flight) • Abdominal spiracles • Jumping leg • Tympanic membrane • Thoracic spiracles • Pronotum- covers thorax • Ovipositor 14
Elytra-forwing Hindwing- flight Beetles have hard outer wing- elytra- that protects membranous hindwing- for flight
