insect
what is the meaning of finding a grass hopper in your home
An "Insectivore" is an animal that eats insects.
Yes; all insects are "in" (meaning "not") "vertibrate", (having an internal structure of bones). Many insects have an exoskeleton, meaning that the structure is on the outside of the body.
No ants have an exoskeleton ---- Ants are insects; and all insects are invertabrates, meaning they don't have a spine (backbone).
"Bug" meaning "insect" dates from about 1622. "Bug" meaning "annoy" didn't start until 1949, and yes, probably did come from the fact that insects are annoying.
No, etymology is not the study of insects; it is the study of the origin and history of words and their meanings. The study of insects is called entomology. The similarity in the terms is coincidental, as they derive from different Greek roots: "etymon" meaning true sense for etymology, and "entomon" meaning insect for entomology.
No they don't. A spider has 2 body parts but an insect has 3 =)
No. Grasshoppers are insects, which are invertebrates, meaning they lack a backbone.
Stick insects are in the order Phasmatodea (sometimes called Phasmida). The name comes from the Greek word phasma, meaning a phantom or ghost, because the insects look like sticks or leaves..
No. Placental means a type of mammal, and mammals are vertebrates, meaning they have a backbone and an entire internal skeletal structure. Insects do not have a backbone, and are therefore invertebrates.
Derived from the latin word insectum for "With a notched or divided body".
It seems there might be a typo in the term. Assuming you meant "entomology," it is the scientific study of insects. Entomologists study various aspects of insects including their biology, behavior, ecology, and diversity.
