  1. Insects By Taylor Goodwin and Ian Donovan

  2. Phylogenetic tree

  3. Classification • Kingdom, animalia, phylum, anthropod, insecta.

  4. Kingdom

  5. Life Cycle of a Lady Bug • Average life is 1-2 years. • The life cycle starts with an egg, hatches into larva, develops into a pupa, and then finally becomes an adult. At the adult stage, the lady bugs reproduce to create more eggs.

  6. Flies • A flies locomotion or way of getting food is by flight. • They use mandibles to chew food, spit it out, chew it again, and then eat it.

  7. Circulation • Insects have an open circulatory system. The blood found in their body can come in contact with other organs inside of their body. • Responsible for movement of nutrients, salts, hormones, and metabolic wastes.

  8. Gas Exchange in Insects • Insects have tiny holes called spiracles • Found on side of insect • Tubes are connected to cells, containing fluid • The fluid is liquidized gas • Cells are enlarged, and gas is released through the spiracle

  9. How Insects Digest Food • Alimentary canal; enclosed tube • Saliva is mixed with the food • Foregut (where food is stored until further processing) • Midgut; nutrients is absorbed • Hindgut; water is absorbed

  10. How Insects Excrete Waste • Almost similar to humans • Too small to see FACT: Every time a fly lands it excretes waste

  11. Fun facts • There is believed to be between 6 and 10 million different insect species • Insects have three pairs of legs • Only male crickets chirp • Insects are cold blooded
