Good morning everyone, For those of you who have already submitted assignment 4.1 thank you for doing so, I will get feedback to you as soon as possible. Assignment 4.2 will cover the subject of entomology, the study of insects. Insects have a profound impact on agriculture, both positive and negative. In this activity we will look at the basics of insects and how we classify them. First, work through the powerpoint slides and notes. Then, we will work on an insect identification worksheet. The main way we classify insects is by the Order they belong to. For instance, grasshoppers and crickets belong to Order Orthoptera, while dragonflies and damselflies belong to Order Odonata. On the worksheet, you will read a description of an insect and use the reference worksheet pages 9-18 to determine the correct Order being described. Most Orders will have at least one insect that you are already familiar with. Please let me know if you have any questions! Powerpoint and Notes
