What is Entomology?
•The study of insects.
•Where do bugs fit?
What about spiders?
NO!
1.Bilateral Symmetry.
2.An exoskeleton with
chitin.
3.Molt to grow in size.
4.Externally segmented
bodies.
5.Appendages modified for
feeding and locomotion.
“Characteristics of Arthropods”
Arthropod means “joint-foot” in Latin.

Class Arachnida
Characteristics:
•Two tagmata: head and
cephalothorax.
•adults with 4 pairs of
walking legs.
•no antennae.
•chelicerae near mouth for
grasping.
•pedipalpinear mouth,
may appear similar to
legs.

•Day 1
The Hobo Spider Bites. Reddening of skin
followed by a blister forming at the bite site.
Mild to intense pain and itching for 2 to 8
hours.

Class Insecta
Characteristics:
•Three tagmata: head,
thorax, and abdomen.
•3 pairs of legs.
•1 pair of antennae.
•Many with wings.
(Insects!!!)
Insect Anatomy
The Grasshopper (Orthoptera; Acrididae):
the Prototypical Insect
Insect are comprised of three
major body divisions: the
head, thorax, and abdomen.
Each of these three sections
are in turn comprised of
individual segments.
The Three Tagmata of
Class Insecta
(Pedigo1989)
Function of the Three Tagmata of Class
Insecta
1.
The Head: Specialized for Sensory input (vision,
chemoreception, sometimes vibration) feeding and defense.
2.The Thorax: The “motor or powerhouse” housing the
musculature and attachment points for the legs and wings.
3.The Abdomen: The “Breadbasket” housing the bulk of the
digestive and reproductive structures. It may also house
defensive structures in some insects (stingers etc).
Grasshopper Thorax
The Insect Thorax is Subdivided
into three sections; the
Prothorax, the Mesothoraxand
the Metathorax.
Running
Raptorial
Swimming
Digging
Jumping
Insect AnatomyGrasshopper Abdomen
•The Abdomenis composed of
11 subsegmentsNotable parts
include: Spiracles(three
denoted), Ovipositor(female),
SubgenitalPlate and Claspers
(Male) or Cerci and the
Tympanum(hearing organ).

Insects vs. Spiders -External Structure
•Insects
–3 body parts
•head, thorax, abdomen
–1 pair antennae
–3 pairs legs
–Mandibles
•Spiders, mites, ticks
–2 body parts(Cephalothorax)
–No antennae
–4 pairs legs
–Chelicerae of Fangs
Gee Wiz Facts About Insects.
How many insects are there in the world?
How Insects Grow
•EXOSKELETON fixed in size
•Must MOLT(shed) old
skeleton as they develop.
•Develop through
several INSTARS
(stages of growth).
•Adult females lay
eggs where there
is plenty of food.
Insect Metamorphosis
•Three main types
–No Metamorphosis
•Only 2 groups of insects
–Simple Metamorphosis
•Minor change in appearance
•Wing development in some
–Complex Metamorphosis
•Major change in appearance
No Metamorphosis –(Ametabolous)
•Little or no change between
immature and adult form except in
size and development of sexual
organs.
•Include Jumping bristle tales
and Silverfish/Firebrats.
Simple Metamorphosis
•Sometime called “gradual or incomplete”
•Egg -> NYMPH or NAIAD-> Adult
Complete Metamorphosis
•Also called Complex Metamorphosis
•Egg -> Larva-> Pupa-> Adult
•Larva has many common names:
–Caterpillar, looper,
cutworm, leafroller,
borer, webworm,
Grub, wireworm,
Maggot
Insect Larvae
Insect Larvae
Insect Larvae
Pupal Stage
•Allows insects to completely
change from specialized
feeding organisms into adult
insects that are specialized for
dispersal and mating.
•Adults’ food often is entirely
different from the larval stage.
Insect Identification
Insects are classified based on similar
anatomical characteristics and grouped into
Orders:
Diptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera,
Hemiptera, Orthoptera, Isoptera, Siphonaptera,
Homoptera, Neuroptera, Plecoptera,
Ephemeroptera, Thysanoptera, etc…

Several Insect Orders Encountered
my Most People….
Order Homoptera–“same wing”
Order Hemiptera, Homoptera, = Heteroptera:
Aphids, leafhoppers, scale insects, cicadas, whiteflies
•Simple Metamorphosis.
•Sucking mouthparts.
•Carriers of plant pathogens.
•Plant pests.
•Excrete honeydew.

Bedbug Management
•Avoidintroducing bed bugs into your home(i.e.
second hand mattresses and upholstered furniture).
•Removeor replace any infested furniture, including
mattresses, box springs, couches, and upholstered
chairs, whenever possible.
•Cleanand vacuum furniture and mattresses and wash
bedding weekly. Establish a barrier or space between
the bed and the floor to further discourage bed bugs
from climbing onto the bed (remember bed bugs are
wingless and cannot fly).
•Obtainpesticides labeled for indoor use against bed
bugs.
