The insect family is a large family in the animal kingdom. The recorded insect families include more than 700,000 family members, accounting for approximately 4/5 of the entire animal species. Widely distributed on the ground, soil, air, water and in and on the bodies of animals and plants.
Why can the insect family thrive so well in the animal kingdom? This is because insects have many advantages for surviving in nature. First of all, insects have various organs. Their mouthparts include chewing, licking, sucking, etc.; their wings are also diverse, with various shapes, textures, wing veins, etc. Secondly, the diversification of mouthparts and wings makes insects have different food types, feeding methods, and reproduction methods. The food habits of insects alone include carnivorous, herbivorous, detritivorous, omnivorous, or parasitic, etc. The wide range of food habits brings Insects have strong vitality and reproductive capacity. Insects go through a series of metamorphosis, molting and other processes during their reproduction process, so that their "babies" can fully develop and grow up safely.
The above advantages allow insects to occupy a position in nature that other larger animals cannot occupy, and they have become the most numerous species in the animal kingdom and the most widely adaptable to environmental conditions.
