Questions in this quiz (13)

  1. 1UK has 24 orders of insects
    - 7000 species of [blank_start]hymenoptera[blank_end] (bees, ants, wasps) > a lot
    - [blank_start]1[blank_end] species of Mantodea (mantis)

    the superclass hexopoda, contains insects (insects) and some not considered insects e.g. [blank_start]collembola[blank_end] = sprint tails
    1. Ahymenoptera
    2. B1
    3. Ccollembola
  2. 2superclass [blank_start]Hexapoda[blank_end], order Collembola
    - collembola = [blank_start]spring[blank_end] tails
    > called spring tails as they have a [blank_start]furca[blank_end] at the end of their body
    > this [blank_start]furca[blank_end] allows them to spring and propel away from danger
    > they rapidly extend their furca in order to spring
    > the furca is found on the [blank_start]4[blank_end]th abdominal segment
    > collembola are very [blank_start]small[blank_end] ~1mm
    > very abundant in [blank_start]soil[blank_end]
    > eyes are clusters of 8 [blank_start]ocelli[blank_end] (mini eyes)
    > biting mouthparts are found in pockets, [blank_start]hidden[blank_end] away
    > used to be considered the [blank_start]basal[blank_end] (base) insect group but [blank_start]not[blank_end] considered any more
    > it was thought that collembola were there basal group of insects because they have similar cuticles and [blank_start]6[blank_end] legs but actually not close to insects at all    Image for question 2

    = ANISOPTERA
    [blank_start]anisoptera[blank_end] = dragonflies
    > dragonflies have [blank_start]forewings[blank_end] that are narrower than their hindwings
    > their wings are [blank_start]broad[blank_end] at their base
    > wings are help [blank_start]out[blank_end]-spread at rest
    > their [blank_start]eyes[blank_end] are close, often touching
    > they are heavily build
    > you can normally [blank_start]hear[blank_end] them flying
    > [blank_start]hemimetabolous[blank_end] development > nymphs have [blank_start]rectal[blank_end] gills, can breath through their bottom    Image for question 4

    - have slender bodies
    - show [blank_start]hemimetabolous[blank_end] development > nymphs have a [blank_start]caudal[blank_end] (back/tail) gills > this sticks out at the rear end

    - leathery slender fore[blank_start]wings[blank_end]
    - legs can extend about 2.5cm, so has to judge when to strike for it has to be in range > they often sit and wait for predators > they have to be camouflaged when they are in range they have [blank_start]stereovision[blank_end] (can form 3d image from 2D unlike many other insects

    2. Bmantodea
    3. CUK
    4. Deyes

    - blattodea = [blank_start]cockroaches[blank_end]
    - [blank_start]depressed[blank_end] bodies (sad) > live in small places
    - long cursorial legs > [blank_start]cursorial[blank_end] legs are those that are adapted for [blank_start]running[blank_end]
    > [blank_start]leathery[blank_end] forewings and [blank_start]membranous[blank_end] hindwings (texture)
    > prothorax large and may cover the [blank_start]head[blank_end]
