Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Insects are a class of arthropods that have a hard exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax, and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes, and two antennae. They are the most diverse group of animals on the planet and include more than a million described species. Insects represent more than half of all known living organisms.[2][3] The number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million,[2][4][5] and potentially represent over 90% of the differing life forms on Earth.[6] Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species occur in the oceans, a habitat dominated by another arthropod group, the crustaceans.

Although insects use several different birth strategies, most are born by hatching from eggs. Insects undergo one of two types of metamorphosis during their lives. Insects that use incomplete metamorphosis, like dragonflies, develop through a series of molts. Alternatively, some insects like butterflies only molt once in their lives in a process known as complete metamorphosis. The relationship of insects' evolutionary history to that of other animals is unclear, though evidence has emerged indicating that insects and crustaceans may have shared common ancestors. Fossilized insects of enormous size have been found from the Paleozoic Era, including giant dragonflies with wingspans of 55 to 70 cm (22-28 in), much larger than any living insect. Many highly successful insect groups are shown to have coevolved with flowering plants.

Insects typically move about by walking, flying or occasionally swimming. Because it allows for rapid yet stable movement, many insects adopt a tripedal gait in which they walk with their legs touching the ground in alternating triangles. Insects are the only invertebrates to have evolved flight. Many insects spend at least part of their lives underwater, and some have developed the ability to swim. Some species, like water striders, are even capable of walking on the surface of water.

Insects are mostly solitary, but some insects, such as certain species of bees, ants, and termites are social and live together in large, well-organized colonies. Some insects, like earwigs, care for their young. Humans regard certain insects as pests and attempt to control them using insecticide. Some insects are parasitic, and some are damaging to agriculture. Many insects are capable of transmitting diseases. On the other hand, insects such as butterflies and bees are beneficial to the environment and to agriculture through pollination, and insects such as silkworms and bees have been domesticated by humans for the production of silk and honey. Insects can communicate in a variety of ways. Male moths can sense the pheromones of female moths over distances of many kilometres. Other species communicate with sounds crickets stridulate, or rub their legs together, to attract a mate and repel other males.[7]
