What is the difference between an insect and an animal?
There are 15 phyla of animals, and each phylum contains animals that have a combination of characteristics that animals in other phyla do not have. The phylum Arthropoda are the animals with jointed legs, segmented bodies, and a tough or hard outer covering that also serves as their skeleton (exoskeleton). Insects have these characteristics, so they belong to Phylum Arthropoda, but so do millipedes, spiders, ticks, crabs, lobsters, and crayfish, which are not insects.
The class Insecta, or insects, are the Arthropoda that have three pairs of legs, a segmented body divided into three regions (head, thorax, and abdomen), one pair of antennae and, usually, wings. Other Arthropoda classes have more than three pairs of legs and only one or two body regions, and they never have wings. Other common classes of Arthropoda are Crustacea (such as sowbugs, crayfish, crabs), Diplopoda (millipedes), Chilopoda (centipedes), and Arachnida (such as spiders, ticks, mites, scorpions).
How many times its own weight can an ant pull?
Several times their own body weight. This is dependent on the species of Ant itself. A single fire ant has been seen transporting insects such as grasshoppers wasps and spiders. This ability is used to bring food into the nest as well as carry Infant lavae from nest to nest , or remove debris from a nest that may have been damaged or blocked. This ability is also used as a defense mechanism in some species as their maniciples are capable of crushing predator insects, even deliver a painful bite to larger predators such as humans or wildlife.
What two elements have the same insects name in them?

What are the characteristics of sphinx moth?
There are many different species with different characteristics, but in general they are large, heavy-bodied moths with long, thin wings. They have very fast and powerful flight, giving them the nickname "hawk moths". Many species also have a long proboscis that they use to drink nectar while hovering in front of flowers, giving them the name "hummingbird moths". Look for pictures of the White-lined Sphinx and Pandorus Sphinx to see a typical sphinx moth shape. To see some bizarre sphinx moths that don't fit this general description, look for Grote's Sphinx or Northern Pine Sphinx.

Scavengers prey on and consume those others creatures who have fallen and are unable to protect themselves. They help to break down and reduce the matter into smaller pieces.

How long does an aphid last for?
Twenty to forty (20 - 40) days is how long aphids live even though the entire cycle of aphid communities of egg-laying, hatching into nymphs, and maturing into adults generally runs from October to October. The insects in question (Aphidoidea superfamily) overwinter as eggs laid in October for hatching into wingless females in March, producing clones throughout the spring and summer, and transforming (of some females) into males in fall in order to die after starting the next October - October life cycle.
