At the adult stage, the lady bugs reproduce to create more eggs. Flies • A flies locomotion or way of getting food is by flight. • They use mandibles to chew food, spit it out, chew it again, and then eat it. Circulation • Insects have an open circulatory system. The blood found in their body can come in contact with other organs inside of their body. • Responsible for movement of nutrients, salts, hormones, and metabolic wastes. Gas Exchange in Insects • Insects have tiny holes called spiracles • Found on side of insect • Tubes are connected to cells, containing fluid • The fluid is liquidized gas • Cells are enlarged, and gas is released through the spiracle How Insects Digest Food • Alimentary canal; enclosed tube • Saliva is mixed with the food • Foregut (where food is stored until further processing) • Midgut; nutrients is absorbed • Hindgut; water is absorbed How Insects Excrete Waste • Almost similar to humans • Too small to see FACT: Every time a fly lands it excretes waste Fun facts • There is believed to be between 6 and 10 million different insect species • Insects have three pairs of legs • Only male crickets chirp • Insects are cold blooded Sources… http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/289001/insect http://www.edupic.net/Images/Science/millipede02.JPG http://www.geol.umd.edu/~tholtz/G331/images/hexapoda.jpg http://www.davidlnelson.md/Cazadero/CazImages/insect_assasin_bug.jpeg http://www.exposureguide.com/images/photographing-insects/photographinginsects4-e.jpg http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_kingdom_phylum_class_order_fa mily_genus_and_species_for_the_dragonfly http://www.ladybug-life-cycle.com/classification-species-types.html http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/course/ent425/tutorial/circulatory.html http://www.esc-sec.org/gas-exchange-in-insects/ http://163.16.28.248/bio/activelearner/44/images/ch44c4.jpg http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_insects_digest_food http://www.ask.com/question/how-do-insects-excrete-waste http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/animals/insect.html http://wiki.bugwood.org/uploads/Trachaea.jpg
