Let’s talk about the names of insects.

Common insect species

The Insecta class is composed of two subclasses, the Apterygoid subclass and the Pterous subclass, and their 33 orders.

The common ones are:

Lepidoptera

Lepidoptera includes all moths and butterflies. Their most distinctive feature is that their wings are covered with small scales. The mouthparts are siphon-shaped and tendril-shaped. When feeding, they extend into the flower to suck nectar. When not in use, they curl up like a spring. The larvae are multi-legged and the pupa is a pupa, which is a complete metamorphosis type. Lepidoptera is a large order, with more than 100,000 known species in the world, and there are 2 suborders related to agriculture.

Coleoptera

Carnivorous suborder (Carabidae, Carabidae)

Omnivorous suborder (Clopodidae, Gyrididae, Coccinellidae) Bovidae, Chrysomelidae, Carabidae, Leguminidae)

Celeophyloidea (Celecopodidae)

Coleoptera is the largest order in the class Insecta, with 330,000 species. The above account for 40% of the total number of insects, and more than 7,000 species have been recorded in my country. The forewings of this group are horny, hard, and have no wing veins, which are called "elytra", hence the name. They have well-developed exoskeletons, hard bodies, great changes in body shape, and are highly adaptable; they have chewing mouthparts and a wide range of food habits: herbivorous - various leaf beetles, beetles, carnivorous - carabid, tiger beetles Armor, scavenger - Yan Jia, corpse feeder - burial armor, coprophagous - dung beetle. This group belongs to complete metamorphosis, and the larvae have various forms due to different living environments and feeding habits; most of the pupae are naked pupae, and rarely are pupae.

Coleoptera

Odonata is a relatively primitive group in the Insecta class and is also a smaller order. The order Odonata is divided into three suborders: Anisoptera, collectively known as "dragonflies"; Zygoptera, collectively known as "damselflies"; and two species of Anisozygoptera found in Japan and India. insect. There are about 5,000 species in the world, and there are more than 300 species in my country. Dragonflies have a stout body, and their wings are spread flat on both sides of the body when resting; frogs have a slender body, and their wings are bunched on their backs when resting. Mesoptera have stout bodies and wings strapped to their backs. Odonata are insects with incomplete metamorphosis, and the larvae "water flies" live a predatory life in the water. Adults are also carnivorous species, preying on small insects, flying quickly and with a ferocious temperament.

Diptera

Diptera (Diptera)

Brachycera (Family)

Diptera (Diptera) (Syrphidae, Phytidae, Phytidae, Mineridae)

Diptera includes mosquitoes, grasshoppers, gnats, flies, flies, etc., and is a larger order in the class Insecta. . It is named because the adult forewings are membranous and the hind wings degenerate into "balance sticks". Diptera is divided into three suborders: long-horned, short-horned and annular. The tentacles of the suborder Longhorns are more than 6 segments, including mosquitoes, grasshoppers, and gnats, and are a relatively low-level group; the tentacles of the suborder Brachycera are less than 5 segments, usually 3 segments, and are commonly known as "horse flies"; the suborder cyclops is what we commonly call them. of "flies".

Hymenoptera

Large-waisted suborder (Cryptonidae)

Slender-waisted suborder (cone tail: small wasps of the family Braconidae) Family: Trichogramma, family Trichogramidae

Needle tail: Vespidae, family Vespididae, family Vespididae)

Hymenoptera has obvious characteristics, including chewing mouthparts, front and rear wings The connection is completed by wing hooks, etc. This group is widely distributed, with more than 100,000 known species and an estimated at least 250,000 species, including various ants and bees. According to whether the base of the abdomen is constricted and thinned, it is divided into broad-waisted suborder and thin-waisted suborder.

The suborder Euryrumine (Cryptozoidae) is a lower herbivorous group, including sawflies, wood wasps, stem wasps and other groups; the suborder Slenderis (cone tail: Braconidae, Braconidae, Braconidae, Trichogramma, etc. Apidae

Needle tail: Vespidae (family Vespidae), family Vespidae (family Vespididae), including most species of the order Hymenoptera, including ants, wasps and various parasitic wasps.

Hemiptera

(Hemiptera) (Hemiptera) "Stink bugs", with more than 38,000 known species, are one of the largest groups in the class Insecta. The forewings of Hemiptera cover the back of the body when at rest, and the hindwings are hidden underneath them. They are named because the base of the forewings of some taxa is ossified and thickened, becoming "semi-elytra-shaped". The mouthparts are piercing and sucking mouthparts, which feed on the juices of plants or other animals. It is a semi-metabolous insect, and its nymphs have stink glands on their abdomen, so they are called "bed bugs".

Orthoptera

(Acrididae, Cathyridae)

Orthoptera is a common group of insects, including katydids , crickets, mole crickets, locusts, etc., there are more than 20,000 known species in the world, and they are widely distributed. The adult front wings are slightly hardened, called "covered wings", and the hind wings are membranous. This group has incomplete metamorphosis, and nymphs and adults mostly feed on plants, causing harm to agriculture, forestry, and economic crops; a few species are omnivorous or carnivorous. Orthoptera is a relatively primitive insect group, originating from the original Orthoptera. In the Upper Carboniferous Period, it has been divided into katydids with longer antennae and locusts with shorter antennae. Many of these species have become traditional ornamental insects due to their chirping or fighting habits, such as fighting crickets and katydids.

Squamata (Scales of the family Scutellariaceae)

Suborder Whiteflies

Homoptera are small to large insects that are incomplete. abnormal. The mouthparts are of a piercing and sucking type, and their base is inserted behind the ventral surface of the head, as if coming from between the bases of the forefoot. Winged species: Both the front and rear wings are membranous, covering the back of the body in a roof-like shape when at rest. Females of many species are wingless. Homoptera is divided into 5 suborders.

Thysanoptera, commonly known as thrips, have tiny bodies. Compound eyes are well developed, with or without single eye. The antennae are longer, 6-10 sections. The mouthparts are asymmetrical, rasp-sucking mouthparts. The wings are membranous, the wing veins are degraded, and the wing edges have dense and long tassel-like hairs. Metamorphosis type is a gradual metamorphosis between complete metamorphosis and incomplete metamorphosis. The most common species of this order are the Thripidae. Their wings are slender with sharp ends, and their forewings only have two longitudinal veins. Some species are wingless. The end of the female's abdomen is conical with a saw-like ovipositor, and its tip curves downward when viewed from the side. Adults like to visit flowers, and many species are important pests in agriculture and forestry, such as onion thrips.

Other insects:

Other insects: Hexapoda includes Protocera, Collembola, Dipsera and Insecta. In addition to the above-mentioned 7 orders, there are 24 other orders in the Insecta class, totaling 31 orders. There are many types of insects with different shapes, but their common features are exoskeleton and three pairs of legs. Many of the species are familiar to us: mayflies, the order of Ephemera that live and die; cicadas, the order of Homoptera that sing loudly; mantises, the order of mantises that prey fiercely; cockroaches, the order of the omnipresent Blattella; The pesky order of Plucidia - body lice, the order of Pheasoptera - human fleas, etc. Like it or not, they all have a place in our lives.
