Answer:
Aquatic insects are derived from various terrestrial ancestors that have secondarily invaded aquatic environments and therefore do not represent a distinct taxonomical unit within the class Insecta. Some insect orders contain only species that are aquatic in some life stages (e.g., mayflies, stoneflies, dragonflies, caddisflies, megalopterans), whereas other orders contain both aquatic and terrestrial species (e.g., beetles, bugs, butterflies, neuropterans, orthopterans, and dipterans). Therefore, aquatic insects are a very diverse group with around 76,000 species adapted to all types of freshwater habitats
