PRESENTATION OUTLINE

INSCET ASSESMENT

BY Michael Bennett, Connor Wolfe

All insects have a head thorax and abdomen, an antennas, six legs, and an exo-Skelton. Also most insects have a wings or compound eyes.

Insects have survived for millions of years because of adaptation to their environment. Insects like the stick bug have adapted in a way of camouflage.

Another way the insects have adapted is the colors on their body. Such as, the monarch butterfly because these colors mean," I'm poisonous so don't eat me".

A final way that insects have survived is the adaptation to reproduce in large numbers. The Termite is one insect that has adapted this way because there are so many Termites in a hive.

One thing we learned during our investigation is that the Madagascar hissing cockroach is able to use its hiss as a mating call.

We also learned that the cockroach is able to walk on walls because it has sticky feet that allow it to walk on walls, upside down, and on a lot of surfaces.

Also we learned that the cockroaches can walk against each other and not stop, as in they just maneuver around each other.

How are insects able to decide which one is the queen?

When the old queen dies, workers will start to lay eggs, and then one of the workers will eventually take over.
