They don't adapt. Some insects, due to genetic mutation, are naturally immune to pesticides. When pesticides are applied, most insects die but the immune ones survive and reproduce. Pesticides never really solve pest problems and do more harm than good.

What adaptation do insects have?

I am not sure what you mean. Insects adapt to their environment in a variety of ways. Some adapt by their coloration-- for example, certain insects, like the walking stick, are brownish in color so they can blend in with trees and not be seen by predators. Other insects like ladybugs adapt by how they taste; because ladybugs are bitter-tasting, predators that see them often do not want to eat them. Other insects adapt to their environment with the ability to trap prey despite being small in size (like spiders trapping prey with a slender and very sticky web).

Why are there so many insects?

Insects are a diverse and successful group of animals due to their ability to adapt to various environments, reproduce quickly, and fill numerous ecological niches. They play essential roles in ecosystems as pollinators, decomposers, and prey for other animals. The sheer number of insect species results from millions of years of evolution and specialization in different habitats.


Why are insect so numerous?

There has been debate on why insects are so successful in nature mostly it starts with how they are able to adapt so quickly and several evolutionary traits.For one insects evolved to have an exoskeleton and tendons and muscles are fused directly to this outside skeleton and enables them to move quickly and nimbly, to dodge predators and catch prey. So more insects are able to survive to mate and reproduce to create another generation of insects.Another main reason is that insects have a very short reproductive cycle, it takes very little time for another generation of insects to be born and grow into adult hood. Also many insects can reproduce asexually (without the need for male sperm) which can lead to a large amount of insects in a short period of time.
