WHY INSECTS ARE SO SUCCESSFUL

APADTATIONS

  • Depending on where they live and how they live their life they have different body Adaptations to make it easier for them. Different insects have different legs and different mouth parts.
  • The insects behind show the different leg adaptations. Depending on the insect their legs look a little different. Grass hoppers and praying mantises have different legs because they’re used for different reasons.

WINGS

SOME INSECTS HAVE WINGS. THESE WINGS CAN HELP THEM MOVE FASTER AWAY FROM PREDATORS AND GET FARTHER FARTHER AWAY.

MADAGASCAR HISSING COCKROACHES

  • ONE THING ABOUT THEM THAT MAKES THEM SO SUCCESSFUL IS THAT WHEN WATER GETS INTO THEIR SPIRACLES THEY CURL THEM UP TO PREVENT IT.

Another thing with the cockroaches is that they hiss. They hiss if they’re asserting dominance, if they want to fight, if they’re scared.
