There are many characteristics of insects that include the attraction to other organisms such as humans, plants, and animals.

by 2050, like caviar, as a result of rising production prices. Edible insects have long been used by ethnic groups in Asia, Africa, Mexico and South America as cheap and sustainable sources of protein, and the major role of entomophagy in human food security is well-documented. Up to 2,086 species are consumed by 3,071 ethnic groups in 130 countries. While more attention is needed to fully assess the potential of edible insects, they provide a natural source of essential carbohydrates, proteins, fats

taxonomic groups - insects, fish and mammals. Each of these taxonomic groups all have different gas exchanges and adaptations to enable them to continue their way of life. In this report, I will discuss the three taxonomic groups’ gas exchanges, and adaptations to carry this out. insects The first taxonomic group is an insect. internal gas exchange systems connect individual cells, and tissues with the air outside, due to a system of branching tubes named trachea. insects contain air tubes, named

Entomology: The Study of Insects and their Relatives Insects and their terrestrial relatives belong to the phylum called Arthropoda and have inhabited the earth for an extensive time. Paleontologists show that the earliest fossils, most primitive forms of arthropods date back to the Devonian Period over 350 million years ago (Henning 1981). By the Age of Dinosaurs, 300 million years ago, insects were abundant in number and diversity. Like the dinosaurs, some pre-historic forms of insects were enormous:

Event: Week Eight According to an Off-The-Grid news site, the insect population in Germany has decreased significantly in the last few decades. Nearly seventy-five percent of the insects in the nature reserves have been wiped out, leaving only twenty-five percent left. Due to this significant decrease, it is expected for the food web to be widely affected since many other animals rely on these insects as a source of food. One of the insects that are dying out is the honeybee, which can affect humans

about insects; however, insects play a large role in some wars are were responsible for more casualties than people realize. In fact, in the French Revolution, “Over the course of a three-year campaign, 105,000 of Napolean's men were casualties of war and 219,000 were victims of insect-borne disease” (Meyer). This statistic shows how many deaths come from insect related incidents, and how underrated insect casualties are. Throughout history, insects have affected many wars. Using insects as a form

Impacts on insect bio-ecology Phonological asynchrony The major impact of elevated temperature is the associated advancement in the phenology of life history events for many plant and animal species which ultimately results in disruption of synchrony between the interacting pairs. Especially the specialists are more affected than generalist species. For example the spatial mismatch between the monophagous insect Boloria titania (Esper) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) and its larval host Polygonum bistortad

There are several different species of insect pollinators, but the bees in general make up sixty-two percent of them. Honeybees make up thirty-nine percent of that number, and the other twenty-three is composed of several different species of bees. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, one-third of the homo-sapiens diet is insect pollinated and honeybees are accountable for eighty percent of the pollination of that one-third. The population of the honeybees in the United States has been
