Coleoptera
15
Coleoptera (Beetles) 400.000 species. First pair of wings changed into hard (chitin) shells. Second pair of wings need to unfold for flying as shells open up. Strong jaws to chew different kinds of food. Complete metamorphosis.
16
Lepidoptera
17
Lepidoptera (Butterflies) 180.000 species. Both pairs of wings covered with light breaking (skin)flakes producing brilliant colours schemes. Long, wound-up, tube-shaped “tongue”.
18
Hymenoptera
19
Hymenoptera (Wasps, Bees) 130.000 species. Two pairs of thin, see-through wings. Some species live in large strutured societies. Have defensive, poisonous stings. Complete metamorphosis.
20
Diptera
21
Diptera (Flies) 240.000 species. One pair of wings. Second pair often changed into balancing organs. Food is digested outside the body and sucked in. Many flies imitate wasps and bees. Complete metamorphosis.
22
Orthoptera
23
Orthoptera (Grasshoppers) First pair of wings changed into tough covers. Strong jaws to chew plant material. Some species are able to communicate with sound. Incomplete metamorphosis.
25
Arachnida
26
Arachnida (Arachnids) 100.000 species. Spiders, scorpions, ticks and harvestmen. Often poisonous and carnivorous. Others, ticks, are parasites.
28
Crustacea
29
Crustacea (Crustaceans) 50.000 species. Strong pincers work like scissors and cut off pieces of food. Have gills for breathing Two main body plans: “crab” and “lobster”
31
Myriapods
32
Myriapoda (Myriapods) 13.000 species Number of legs vary from 10 – 750 Centipedes have one pair of legs per segment. Millipedes have two pairs of legs per segment. Both plant eaters (Millipedes) and poisonous carnivores (Centipedes)
