AY Honors/Insects - Advanced/Answer Key

2.Do one of the following:
a. Add to your collection 50 species of insects representing at least ten different orders. Labels must include collector's name, date, locality, order, family, and genus or species level name. (Carelessly mounted or broken specimens are not acceptable.)
b. Add to your colored drawings or paintings 50 species of insects, representing at least ten different orders. Drawings or paintings need to be life size or larger, to show the details of small insects, and in natural coloring. Label drawings with date, order, family, and genus or species level name.
c. Add to your colored photographs 50 species of insects, representing at least ten different orders. All pictures are to be in focus, close-ups and properly labeled, showing where photographed, the date photographed, and order, family, and genus or species level name.

There are several insects described in the Insects honor, though not nearly enough (currently) to satisfy this requirement. We recommend that you obtain a Field Guide to the insects common to your area. As with any nature identification task, the better approach is to find the insects first, and then identify them. This works far better than deciding which insects you want to find and then going out to look for them.

6. Name at least four insects that carry disease to man. Name at least one disease carried by each.

Mosquito	Flea	Louse	Housefly	Tsetse fly
