Guidelines:
Ø Choose one insect species from the list below which you
will create a life cycle display.
Ø For the display, draw, trace, or copy pictures of the
insect in its adult form, egg and nymph forms (if you have chosen an insect
that goes through incomplete metamorphosis), or its adult form, egg, larva, and
pupa (if you have chosen an insect that goes through complete metamorphosis).
Ø Record the insect’s common name, scientific name, and
range (where it lives), which you should be able to indicate on a classroom
globe or map.
Ø Mantises,
Moth, Walking sticks, Butterflies, Roaches, Beetles , Aphids, Wasps,
Damselflies, Flies, Grasshoppers, Ants, Katydids, Bees, Water bugs
In addition to creating a display as described above, you need to
write a one-page report that answers these questions:
ü To
which insect family does it belong?
ü Where
does it live (its range)?
ü What
kind of habitat does it prefer?
ü What
does it eat?
ü Do any
insects or other animals prey upon it?
ü At any
point or points in its life cycle, does the insect have a major effect on the
environment or on humans?
