Define terms insects orders or insect
classifications
Answer this question: What is the importance of
this exercise? How is it related to you as
agriculture major students?
At the end of this exercise, students are
expected to:
1. distinguish the different insect orders of
economic importance; and
2. explain on how to use the taxonomic key in
identifying the orders of insects of economic
importance.
Unknown insect specimens belonging to
different orders
Magnifying lens and forceps
Mounting objects (pins and styro foam)
1. Practice identifying unknown specimens to
orders using the identification key for adult
insects. Work independently.
2. Consult your instructor or compare with
illustrations on the accuracy of your
identification.
Provide the following information:
o Number of insect representatives per
order
o Photodocumentations
A. What insect order has the highest number of
representatives that you have collected? How
about the lowest?
B. How did you used the taxonomic key in
classifying unknown insect species to orders?
Answer the objectives based from the results
