 | | Insects possess an amazing diversity in size, form, and behavior. | | | The more we know about their biology and behavior, including their natural enemies, the more likely we will be able to manage them effectively. | | | The brain, located in the head, processes information, but some information is also processed at nerve centers elsewhere in the body. |

| | Insect Misconceptions - BugNetMAP |
| | Insects have similar systems to ours but they may vary in the structures present. | | | It is an exoskeleton; but by calling it skin, children are apt to mentally equate the insect's outer covering to our own skin. | | | Authors often refer to a character in their books as a "he" or a "she" when describing behavior that is unchangeable for sex! |

| | That is, their digestive system consists basically of a tube that runs from mouth to anus, contrasting with the incomplete digestive systems found in many simpler invertebrates. | | | "Something in the insect seems to be alien to the habits, morals, and psychology of this world, as if it had come from some other planet: more monstrous, more energetic, more insensate, more atrocious, more infernal than our own. | | | Many species of insects have since then reduced this number by losing or fusing some of the abdominal ganglia and/or fusing those in the thorax. |

| | Science NetLinks: Insect Models |
| | If the student makes her/his model in her own way, according to her own processing of information, then the learning associated with making the model is meaningful and interesting to the student. | | | Encourage students to talk about what their insect body parts do, how they function, and how they relate to the whole body. | | | Storytelling, whether through song, writing, a verbal description, a drawing, or physically acting it out, is a wonderfully tangible way for students to relate their learning about insect models to others in their environment. |

| | The aquatic larvae of many insects breathe by means of external gills; some very primitive species breathe directly through the body wall. | | | They display a remarkable variety of adaptive shapes and colors that may serve either as camouflage or as warning (see mimicry). | | | In a few very primitive, wingless insects (such as the silverfish) there is no metamorphosis. |

| | Unusual insect eye |
| | "The need for a tiny insect eye to gather lots of light and bring images into sharp focus on the receptors may explain the advantage of the eyes that deliver images in chunks instead of points," Buschbeck said. | | | Another important condition for vision is that the image is focused on the retina (just as the camera lens image should be focused on the film) and we have confirmed this with measurements made through the insect's lens." | | | Fewer facets do not mean poorer vision, the Cornell biologists believe. |

| | Insects aren't the only things affected by the interaction between dynamic boundaries and highly unsteady viscous flows, the engineering professor said. | | | An important key to solving the mystery of insect flight, Wang said, is the understanding of the vortex "shedding" and how the vortices behave when they separate from the moving surface that created them. | | | But there was no quantitative theory available because of the difficulties inherent in dealing with unsteady flows coupled to moving boundaries." |
