More kinds of insects are known than all other animals visible to the naked eye. A few insects have been called man's worst enemy, but we would be hard put to exist without them. Insects play many important roles in the environment. They are an important food source for many animals, extraordinary pollinators, and play a critical role in recycling. They are also gems of natural beauty, zoological mysteries, and a constant source of interest.WHAT INSECTS ARE Insects are related to crabs and lobsters. Like these sea animals, they possess a kind of skeleton on the outside of their bodies. The body itself is composed of three divisions: head, thorax, and abdomen. The thorax has three segments, each with a pair of jointed legs; so an insect normally has six legs. Most insects also have two pairs of wings attached to the thorax, but some have only one pair, and a few have none at all. Insects usually have three sets of mouthparts, two kinds of eyes - simple and compound - and one pair of antennae.This describes typical insects, but many common ones are not typical. The thorax and abdomen may appear to run together. Immature stages (larvae) of many insects are worm-like, though their six true legs and perhaps some extra false ones may be counted. Immature insects are often difficult to identify. It is also hard to tell the sex of some insects. In some groups males are larger or have larger antennae or different markings. Females are sometimes marked by a pointed ovipositor for laying eggs extending from the base of the abdomen.INSECT RELATIVES A number of animals are often confused with insects. Spiders, ticks, and mites have. Seller Inventory # DADAX1582381291
