🔵Hexapoda is derived from the Greek words hexa meaning six, and poda meaning feet.

🔵Insects are characterized by having three pairs of legs.

🔵The head of an insect contains the eyes, mouthparts, and antennae.

🔵The thorax of an insect contains the wings and legs.

🔵The abdomen of an insect contains the digestive, reproductive, and respiratory systems.

🔵Insects breathe through a system of tubes called tracheae.

🔵Insects have an exoskeleton made of chitin, which provides protection and support.

🔵Insects are cold-blooded and cannot regulate their body temperature.

🔵Insects undergo metamorphosis as they develop from eggs into adults.

🔵Incomplete metamorphosis is a type of development in which the young resemble miniature adults.

🔵Complete metamorphosis is a type of development in which the young go through distinct larval stages before becoming adults.

🔵Insects can be found in almost every habitat on Earth.

⚫Chitin is a complex sugar that is also found in the cell walls of fungi.

⚫Arthropods are a group of animals that includes insects, spiders, crustaceans, and millipedes.

⚫The exoskeleton of arthropods is made up of several layers, including the cuticle, epicuticle, and procuticle.

⚫The cuticle is the outermost layer of the exoskeleton and is responsible for protecting the arthropod from physical damage and dehydration.

⚫The epicuticle is the outermost layer of the cuticle and is responsible for preventing the loss of water from the arthropod's body.

⚫The procuticle is the thickest layer of the exoskeleton and provides structural support for the arthropod's body.

⚫The exoskeleton of arthropods is divided into segments, which allow for flexibility and movement.

⚫Arthropods shed their exoskeletons in a process called molting.

⚫Molting allows arthropods to grow and replace damaged or worn-out exoskeletons.

⚫During molting, arthropods secrete a new cuticle underneath the old one, and then shed the old cuticle.

⚫The new exoskeleton is soft at first and hardens as it sclerotizes.

⚫Sclerotization is the process by which the new exoskeleton hardens and darkens as it dries out.

⚫The exoskeleton of arthropods is also involved in sensory functions.

⚫Arthropods have sensory hairs, called setae, that protrude through the exoskeleton and detect touch, vibration, and chemicals.

⚫Some arthropods have specialized structures in their exoskeletons, such as the compound eyes of insects.

⚫Compound eyes are made up of many individual lenses, which allow insects to see a wide range of images and detect movement.

⚫The exoskeleton also plays a role in the respiratory system of arthropods.

⚫Arthropods have a network of tubes called tracheae that transport air to the body tissues.

⚫The tracheae open to the outside through small holes in the exoskeleton called spiracles.

⚫The exoskeleton can also act as a protective barrier against predators and parasites.

⚫Some arthropods, such as scorpions, have venomous stingers that are part of their exoskeleton.

⚫The exoskeleton of arthropods can also be used for communication.

⚫Ants, for example, use chemical signals called pheromones that are produced by glands in their exoskeleton.

⚫The exoskeleton can also act as a thermal regulator, helping arthropods maintain a stable body temperature.

⚫Some arthropods, such as bees, can use  their wings to generate heat that warms their bodies.

⚫Some arthropods, such as lobsters and crabs, have a hard exoskeleton that they must shed in order to grow.

🐝The three types of social insects are termites, bees, and ants.

🐜The most famous type of social insect is the honeybee.

🐝Social insects are important for ecosystem health and functioning.

🐜Social insects have castes or specialized roles within the colony.

🐝The three castes of social insects are queens, drones, and workers.

🐜The queen is responsible for reproduction within the colony.

🐝Drones are male social insects that have the sole purpose of mating with the queen.

🐜Workers are responsible for tasks such as foraging, nursing, and defending the colony.

🐝Social insects have pheromones that help them communicate with each other.

🐜Pheromones are chemical signals that can be used to mark trails, identify members of the colony, and signal alarm.

🐝The division of labor in social insects allows for efficient colony functioning.

🐜Social insects have a hierarchical social organization.

🐝In many social insect colonies, there is a dominant queen that produces the majority of the offspring.

🐜Some social insects have multiple queens within a colony.

🐝Social insects can live in a variety of habitats, including underground, in trees, and in the soil.

🐜Social insects are ectothermic, meaning they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature.

🐝Social insects can exhibit eusociality, a type of social behavior characterized by cooperative brood care, overlapping generations, and division of labor.

🐜The study of social insects is called sociobiology.

🐝The evolution of eusociality in insects is thought to be driven by the benefits of kin selection.

🐜Kin selection is the idea that individuals will behave altruistically toward close relatives in order to increase the chances of their genes being passed on.

🐝Some social insects, such as leafcutter ants, have evolved complex agricultural systems.

🐜Leafcutter ants cultivate a type of fungus that they use as a food source.

🐝Some social insects have mutualistic relationships with other organisms.

🐜Ants and aphids have a mutualistic relationship where the ants protect the aphids in exchange for a sweet substance called honeydew.

🐝Some social insects, such as wasps, can be aggressive and have painful stings.

🐜Bees are important pollinators of many crops.

🐝The decline of bee populations worldwide is a major concern for agriculture and food security.
