How does the water boatman breathe?
Water boatmen breathe through a complicated structure of tubes (called tracheae and tracheoles) and air sacs. Oxygen is pulled into the body through openings in their abdomens called spiracles. Once the oxygen has been pulled in, the outer most vents close and the air is forced into increasingly smaller pipes known as tubules, until it reaches the required cells.
What are bad things about insects?
Some insects bite and carry diseases, such as mosquitoes , ticks and lice . Others bite but do not carry disease such as bedbugs. Two spiders in the US , the brown recluse and black widow, have a deadly bite. Wasps and bees sting to protect their hives. Carpenter ants and termites destroy wooden buildings and sometimes furniture. Some insects amass in huge numbers at times and are a pest to humans, Examples are stink bugs, gnats, black flies, lady bugs and grasshoppers ( locusts). Many insects are a problem with agriculture. Most attack specific crops and can actually wipe out an entire field or eat all the fruit in an orchard. Some carry plant diseases
Are Brown recluse spider found in Canada?
The range of Brown Recluse spiders is at least heading up in that direction. Whether there are such spiders in Kelowna or not is probably something that only city or provincial officials keep statistics on. The biology department of the nearest university might be another good place to ask.
What are bits and pieces of rocks soil insects and animals that have been transported?
Bits of rock can be moved from one place to another by water. The flow of the current can make the rocks move by transportation. It also can be carried by wind.
Yes. A single celled organism is comprised or one single cell. Any protist is an example of a single celled organism. Since insects are comprised of more than one cell, they are multicellular organisms.

red, apparently they can't see it.
bee preference is usually formed by scent. think foul smelling flowers, their polinators are likely flies and beetles not bees. they also dislike avocado and custard apple flowers, something to do with the mineral content of the flower. as for the colour red, its true bees do not see red (they see it as black) but flowers have many marking invisable to the human eye aim at atracting bees.

Why can insects adapt to pesticidesquickly give two reasons?
One reason is that the life cycle of most insects is very short. There may be 1-15 generations in a year (As opposed to 1 every 14-20ish years in humans). Another reason is many insects have hundreds to thousands of offspring every reproductive cycle. Let's assume we're talking about an insect with 10 generations per year, that they exist in a 1:1 male to female ratio (which is common in insects), that each mating pair can produce 1,000 eggs and that we start with 1 mating pair.
At generation 1, we have 1 mating pair. These 2 insects make 1000 babies.
At Generation 2 we have 500 mating pairs (1000/2 because of 1:1 ratio). These 500 mating pairs make 500x1000 (500,000) babies.
At Generation 3, which isn't even 6 months into the first year, we have 250,000 mating pairs that have 250000x1000 babies. Since each egg may contain mutations, you can see why insect populations can evolve quickly.
Does insects pee or go to the loo?
Of course! Contrary to popular belief, bugs do indeed use the bathrooms. After all, why would a bug just go to the bathroom where ever they please? Bugs - like humans, share a common need to use the bathroom. Bugs don't use regular human bathrooms, instead they build their own tiny bathrooms. Each species of bug builds different sized bathrooms. (an ant bathroom would never work for a tarantula) A regular bug bathroom consists of a urinal (for male bugs) and a toilet - (sometimes they build showers and sinks but this is a rarity) Bugs also use the bathroom up to 9 times per day!
Although I have researched the topic of bug bathrooms for over a decade, I am still discovering amazing new facts about bugs and their bathrooms. I hope I helped, and I hope you learned something new about bug bathrooms.

How can certain bugs walk on water?
Certain bugs, such as water striders, have long hydrophobic hairs on their legs that create a waterproof layer. This allows them to distribute their weight and take advantage of surface tension to walk on water without sinking. Their light body weight and leg shape also aid in staying afloat on the water's surface.
