Does molting allow an insect to fly?
Not specifically but the last stage of metamorphosis before wings appear may be a moult (molt). Sometimes the winged imago (adult) comes from a pupa which is not really a moult.
Moulting enables the insect to grow as each moult produces a slightly larger insect.
Identify two reasons why insects sometimes must be controlled?
Insects must be controlled because they can over populate. Some can be quite harmful to humans and others are just plain pests.
Centipedes and millipedes are part of which sub phylum?
Centipedes and millipedes are in the same phylum but in different classes.
Millipedes and centipedes are in the class Myriapoda, meaning, 'two legs per segment.'
If you ever saw a little insect curled up into a ball and thought it was a centipede, you were wrong.
Millipedes are herbivores, are twice as fast as a caterpillar, and have two defense mechanisms. Millipedes have stink glands,and can curl up into a ball.
Centipedes, however, are carnivores, are very, very fast, and is poisonous.
To tell centipedes and millipedes apart, is really quite easy. Centipedes has it's legs spread out wide. Centipedes are really quite scary looking. Millipedes, however, has it's legs neatly underneath it's body. Centipedes have very few legs, why, you could count them. Millipedes have lots of legs. You wouldn't be able to count them unless you got up close which I would not do.

Is it good for gnats to eat at scabs?

How do wings of insects differ from wings of birds?
Windows of insects differ from the wings of birds in that they have no features. They use a thin membrane to catch the wind.
the wings of a bird are made out of feathers and creates a shaped across its length like the wing of an airplane, a cross section of the wing, is seen to cause lift from aerodynamics of their shape described above. Since the air creates lift when it has to go faster over the top of the wing than the bottom; this phenomenon of air going at different speeds, cause the lift in the wings of a bird wing. (Or as seen in an airplane wing) Also, birds create jumps in their flying ability when they push their wings down with muscular thrusts while fullly opened, and pick their wings back up high with a light, but quick, easy but with a punctual rhythm of wing lifting that coincides with perfectly with downward flaps, which cause lift and initial velocity/height. Birds have amazingly strong control over how they fly, much more than insects.
Insect wings are made out of rigid cells but are delicate if damaged. They rely on fast flapping to create lift, they don't glide as much using open wings like birds. For insects, if they are flying, they are nearly always flapping their wings, and usually with quite a speed of frequency that is much faster than birds.
The wings of insects consist of simple membranes of chitin. Bird wings are bone-and-muscle limbs covered in feathers. With the exception of flies, insects have four wings. Birds have two.
Bird and butterfly wings have tremendous differences, a bird's wings are made of bone, skin, and feathers whereas a butterflies wings are made of membranes stretched between hollow tubes that protrude from the butterflies body. Instead of feathers, butterflies have colored scales covering their wings. Also a birds wings are an adaptation of their front legs with leaves them with two legs for walking and two wings, a butterfly has six legs for walking and two wings which are not an adaptation of their legs.
