All insect legs contain the same basic parts: coxa, trochanter, femur, tibia, and tarsus, the latter of which is armed with one or two claws.

Insect Body. Insects do not have bones like you, but instead have a hard outer covering known as an exoskeleton. This exoskeleton protects their organs and gives them support for moving around.

Insects, like all arthropods, have no interior skeleton; instead, they have an exoskeleton, a hard outer layer made mostly of chitin which protects and supports the body. The insect body is divided into three parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen.

There are actually two ways that insects can “change shapes” by incomplete metamorphosis or by complete metamorphosis. During incomplete metamorphosis, the insects change their shape gradually each time they shed their exoskeleton. As the young insects grow, they look more and more like their parents.

4 bugs that serve no purpose on this planet

• Mosquitos. Mosquitoes are such a nuisance.
• Wasps. Our environment would suffer if we lost bees, for obvious reasons (e.g. no agriculture, no honey).
• Gnats. Heck, we’d even weep for alleys and garbage cans that have a swarm of gnats surrounding them too.
• Moths.

There’s nothing immoral about protecting yourself or your livelihood. If you’re just killing it because you think it’s “gross”, or you’re spraying it with hairspray to see it squirm, or anything like that, then yes, it’s immoral. Killing things just for the sake of killing them is wrong.

Yes. Visual acuity varies greatly among insects. Some have pretty sharp vision while others can just percieve a rough outline of shape. You can get a decent approximation of how good an insects vision is by the number of facets in the compound eyes.

Why do bugs always seem to die on their backs? This is a matter of physics. As the bug nears death, normal blood flow ceases, causing the legs to contract inwardly. Without the support of the legs, the body becomes top-heavy, and usually falls upside-down.
