Connecting muscular strands between body segments that aid movement

Small joints found between the tympanum

Protrusions along the cervical membrane that aid in chemoreception

Smaller segments of notopodia connecting nervous tissue

Fundamental units of every insect mechanoreceptor that convert vibrations to nerve impulses

Bright colouration to advertise distastefulness due to toxins

Small eyespots appear to deflect attention from head

Coloured parts suddenly displayed

Select background on which insect is less conspicuous such as homochromy

Burrowing or concealing underground or near debris

Stimulates the synthesis of yolk protein

Inhibits metamorphosis

Stimulates synthesis of chitin

Regulates the controlled release of ecdysone

Promotes cuticle development after successive moults

They develop into adults from nymphs through process of moulting

They undergo change between immature and adult with a pupal stage

They develop wings externally outside the body

They develop wings internally inside the body

They do NOT undergo a radical metamorphosis

Chemicals that benefit the producer and recipient

Chemicals that negatively effect the producer but benefit the recipient

Chemicals that aid copulation

Chemicals that benefit the producer but have a neutral/deterent effect on the recipient

Chemicals that aid in communication between distinct insect orders such as Coleoptera and Hymenoptera

Used to catch flying insects. Trap suspended along paths or glades. Tray with killing fuild/detergent placed at bottom of trap.

Used to catch nocturnal insects. A brightly coloured tent with intense fluorescent lights attract insects into the trap which is usually a box.

Used to catch smaller insects, usually a bottle cut out with the top upside down. Sweet water or other bait at the bottom of the bottle.

Used to catch large flying insects. Large bucket of water left out with live bait inside.

Used to catch insects in the vicinity of the trap. Open sided dark coloured tent with central interception sheet. Collecting bottle at top of trap.

Courtship signalling

Warning of distastefulness

Camouflage

Luring prey

Defense

Directly deposit the spermatophore directly into the female reproductive tract

To synthesize the necessary nutrients in seminal fluid to later on be deposited in the spermatophore

To stimulate the synthesis of ecdysone in the male insect to create more seminal fluid

Store spermatozoa until needed for egg fertilization in the female insect reproductive system

Store spermatozoa until needed for copulation in the male insect reproductive system

The process in which sperm travels from the spermatophore into the spermatheca

A form of sexual reproduction in which multiple males fertilize the same ovum

The process in which the female insect produces oocytes

A form of asexual reproduction in which reproduction from an ovum occurs without fertilization

The process in which the female insect will locate an ideal area to place the fertilized eggs. The process can also be called oviparity.

True

False

Strepsiptera

Mecoptera

Trichoptera

Neuroptera

Raphidioptera

Where both sexes are equally sized and exhibit the same identical morphological features

Where there is a distinct difference in size or appearance between the sexes in addition to the sexual organs themselves

Where the female characteristically is larger and stronger than the male

Where the male is characteristically larger and stronger than the female

Where the sexual morphological features of the insects are completely reliant on the insects diet
