Scrape food, mix with saliva, suck up.
Molt 3 times. Nymph begins with 9 abdominal segments.
Add one segment each molt = Anamorphosis.
-Unique to Hexapoda. Adult 12 segments.
1. Live in moist soil or humis, leaf
mold, under bark, decaying logs…

A
17
Q

Class: Insecta, Subclass: Pterygota, Order Ephemeroptera (mayflies)

A 
Description (Adults)
1. Large triangular forewing, small
rounded hindwing.
2. Cannot fold wings… held “upright”
when at rest.
3. Three thread-like caudal “tails”
(rarely two) Caudal “tails”= 2 cerci, 1 caudal filament
4. Mouthparts vestigial = “lost”.
A2. Description (Immatures =Naiads
1. Aquatic, with leaf like abdominal gills
2. Three caudal tails
3. Chewing mouthparts.
*Only order of insect to molt after
developing functional wings. Naiad
molts to subimago (pre-adult stage)
Adults live for few hours to few
days. Do not feed… mate and lay
eggs.
Mating swarms. Piles 4-5 feet
high. Traffic problems on roads &
bridges. 
Important as fish food.
Sensitive to pollution = indicator
species.
18
Q

Class: Insecta, Subclass: Pterygota, Order Odonata

A 
1. Wings large, membrane, broad at
base, do not fold. Hind wings
similar in size to front.
2. Wings held perpendicular to body
when at rest.
3. Stout body, strong flyers.
4. Large compound eyes.
5. Chewing mouthparts.
6. Cerci (claspers) on males.
A2. Description (Naiads)
1. Dragonfly: robust body, internal
rectal gills.
2. Damselfly: slender body, 3 external
caudal gills
3. “Teeth” on labium to impale prey.
*Mating wheel
-Family Aeshnidae (darners)- Same shape triangles
Family Libellulidae (skimmers)- Different shape triangles
19
Q

Dichotomous keys

A

-Tools for identification, consisting of a series
of choices to get to the correct name
-uses couplets

20
Q

How are proturans different from diplurans?

A

Proturans means first tails and Diplurans means two tails. Proturans have no anntennea and diplurans do.

21
Q

Individuals of which order can do spectacular somersaults?

A

Springtails, collembola?

22
Q

Which two orders are aquatic when immature?

A

Ephemoroptera and Odonata

23
Q

Which 5 orders/classes have no wings (Apterygota)?

A

Collembola, Protura, Diplura, Archeognatha and Zygentoma

24
Q

Which orders we covered today have the most agile fliers?

A

Dragonflies and damselflies, Odonata

25
Q

How are Ephemeroptera different from Odonata?

A

Hind wings size. Ephemerooptera has small hind wing compared to front wing. Odonata has front and hind wing as same size. Ephemeroptera molts its wings even in adult stage and odonata has wings perpendicular to the body.

26
Q

Which is the only order of insects with a subadult (immature) that can fly?

A

Ephemeroptera- (subimago)

27
Q

Which order has diagnostically long maxillary palps?

A

Order: Archaeognatha or bristle tails (cerci shorter than filament)

28
Q

How are the mouthparts of Protura, Diplura, and Collembola different from
those of true insects?

A

The first three are considered entognaths(inside) and the true insects are ectognaths(outside)

29
Q

Did the first insects on earth have wings? Why?

A

No becuase we learned hypothesises that are about how insects evolved wings.

30
Q

Where might you find each of the following: Protura, Diplura, Collembola,
Thysanura, Ephemeroptera adult, Odonata adult, any naiad?

A

Protura- moist soil
Diplura- soil, leaf litter
Collembola- in soil, decay, mold
Thysanura- used to be fold wings/ not able to fold wings
Emphemeroptera adult- Naiad is aquatic and adult is terrestrial
Odonata adult- Naiad is aquatic and adult is terrestrial/aquatic

31
Q

Which subphylum is most closely related to Hexapoda?

A

Myriapods
