RMRN5H2J–. Animal biology. Zoology; Biology. CHAPTER XLV CLASS INSECTA The fourth class of Arthropoda is Insecta (in sek' ta; L., insectum, having been cut into). The number of described species of insects is enormous; some of the more recent figures place it between 600,000 and 700,000, about 75 per cent of all known living animals. It is also certain that a very large number have not yet been described. In the number of known species the class far surpasses all other animal groups combined, and the number of individuals is correspondingly large. Insects are represented everywhere on the land surface

Chalcid flies and ichneumon flies, which belong to the Hymenoptera, are beneficial because they attack the developmental stages or the adults of many injurious insects. The egg is laid on or in the host the soft tissues of which the developing larva destroys. The larva of one ichneumon fly attacks the borers in shade trees, and the fly is often seen laying its eggs in the trunks and larger limbs of such trees (Fig. 190). It is 1)-^ inches long and has a

The lower lips of honeybees and of bumblebees are long, to enable them to suck nectar from flowers. The maxillse of many butterflies and moths have been developed into long probosces to enable them to procure nectar from deep flowers. This is well shown in those large hawk moths that frequent honeysuckles at dusk. Many grasshoppers are colored like the soil on which they live. This is well shown in the case of those grass- hoppe

Very good proof has also been adduced to the effect that a certain species of mosquito carries yellow fever from one person to another. Thus it has happened in recent years that the mosquitoes have become very notorious insects. The female of a common species of mosquito lays

As successive molts occur the proportions of the body gradually change and the wings increase in size. The stages which follow the successi^•e molts are called instars.
