INSECTS - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Insects feed on other insects, pollen, plants, trees, and various liquids including blood and nectar. They must have a balanced diet containing carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, water, vitamins, and minerals. They eat a huge range of foods. Examples of what insects eat include:
      - Plants, such as leaves, roots, seeds, and nectar
      - Fruits
      - Vegetables
      - Crops
      - Blood, like mosquitoes and bedbugs
- - - - DIFFERENT TYPES OF INSECTS
        
        Insects are a diverse group of animals that belong to the class Insecta1. They have three body segments, six legs, and usually one or two pairs of wings .Some of the major types of insects are:
        
        Ants, bees, and wasps (order Hymenoptera)
        
        Beetles and weevils (order Coleoptera)
        
        Butterflies and moths (order Lepidoptera)
        
        Crickets, grasshoppers, and katydids (order Orthoptera)
        
        Cockroaches (order Blattodea)
        
        Ants: Ants are one of the most common insects and include many species, varying in size and color. They belong to the order named Hemiptera 1.
        
        Beetles: Beetles are a diverse group of insects that belong to the order Coleoptera. They have two pairs of wings, with the front pair being hardened into wing-cases
        
        Butterflies and moths: Butterflies and moths belong to the order Lepidoptera. They have two pairs of wings covered with scales, which give them their distinctive colors and patterns 3.
        
        Caterpillars: Caterpillars are the larval stage of butterflies and moths. They have long, segmented bodies and feed on leaves 1.
        
        Crickets: Crickets belong to the order Orthoptera. They have long antennae and hind legs adapted for jumping 1.
        
        Dragonflies: Dragonflies belong to the order Odonata. They have two pairs of wings, with the hind wings being broader than the front wings 2.
        
        Fleas: Fleas belong to the order Siphonaptera. They are small, wingless insects that feed on blood 1.
        
        Grasshoppers: Grasshoppers belong to the order Orthoptera. They have long antennae and hind legs adapted for jumping 1.
        
        Ladybugs: Ladybugs belong to the order Coleoptera. They are small, round beetles with brightly colored shells that often have black spots 1.
        
        Mosquitoes: Mosquitoes belong to the order Diptera. They have one pair of wings and feed on blood 1.
      - WHERE THE INSECTS COME FROM
        
        According to the latest scientific understanding, insects are thought to have evolved from a group of crustaceans ,which was 480 million years ago.

      - INSECTS THAT LIVE ON LAND
        
        ants, butterflies, earwigs, cockroaches, grasshoppers
      - Insects are members of a larger group called the arthropods. This group also includes spiders, ticks, centipedes, lobsters, and crabs. Like all arthropods, insects have a body that is divided into segments, or sections. They also lack a skeleton inside the body.
