ADAPTIVE FEATURES
1. exoskeleton -
protection from harm & desiccation,
lots of muscle attachment,
provides for a light (low weight) body that allows flight
2. complete metamorphosis --
allows same insect to capitalize on different niches (habitat & food),
also resting stages for harsh conditions(usually egg or pupal stage)
3. flight -
for survival from threat,
dispersal into new habitats,
gather food from large areas,
find mates at a distance
4. small size - exoskeleton restricts size, but …
they have a reduced life cycle time period
can complete critical portions of the life cycle in a short season
or can have several generations in a single year
they require less food per individual
they can utilize a great variety of habitats
