Some insects communicate through body postures or movements. Others communicate through the emission of chemicals called pheromones. Some communicate through sounds, such as the grasshopper or locust.

∙ 9y agoInvertebrates have developed a variety of defense systems to protect them from predators. The most basic defense system is the exoskeleton, which can sometimes protect against predators. Some have evolved either active or inactive camouflage to help them blend in with surroundings so they're not as easily seen. Others have evolved to be poisonous and are brightly colored to warn predators that they're potentially dangerous to eat.

∙ 15y agoHi! I don't know all of them, but I know some! Wasps, bees, (even though they die if they sting you!), some tarantulas, and, i don't know if you call a scorpian an insect, but if so, then some species of scorpian! Hope this is helpful :-)

∙ 13y agoCertain insects, like butterflies, use camoflauge to hide from predators. But you probably already knew that. Another way insects use color in their defense is by (over time due to natural selection) contracting patterns, shapes, or colors as warning signs, or in the case of some moths, the face of their predators. On some bugs' wings, you can find spots -- eerily resembling the eyes of an owl or bird, meaning predator insects would keep away.
Certain insects let off scents that either repel predators or attract other animals that could defend them. Often you can find relationships between bugs in which one will give off a little sugar or honey in return for protection, a home, etc. (Such as ants and a Blue Jeans butterfly.)
And often more than not, insects have vemon. Common example of this would be wasps, ants, or scorpions (although scorpions aren't bugs.)
I hope this helped!
Oh, and please remember to be kind to ALL living creatures -- even bugs. As odd-looking and stingy as they are, they have political interest in not being killed. Thank you!
