Insects can be found almost everywhere!
Insects have amazing adaptations that make each type unique and diverse. Insects are adapted for life in every environment imaginable. With the exception of deep in volcanoes, insects can be found everywhere. Insect adaptations include mouthparts, the ability to fly, leg types, and body shapes. Imagine if all insects looked exactly the same, ate exactly the same food, and lived in exactly the same habitats. It would be impossible because insects would compete too much and would not be able to survive.
In this booklet are a variety of exercises designed to help educate your students about adaptations by using insects as examples.
This photo is of a beetle on sunflower. The common name of the beetle is the Charlie Brown Blister Beetle, and the name stems from the yellow markings on the beetle’s back that look like those on Charlie Brown’s sweater.
