Description
Creepy insects, thankfully hidden behind plastic, a beautiful collection of insects for study or decoration. With a good description in Dutch and English on the box. The insects come from an insect farm and are not killed for this purpose. Only naturally deceased insects are used. This is a wonderful gift for children who can truly discover the world of insects this way.
Insects (Insecta) are a class of arthropods (Arthropoda). With nearly a million described species, they are by far the largest group of animals. It is estimated that many hundreds of thousands to several million species have not yet been discovered. Insects live on land and in freshwater; only a few species live in the sea, but here crustaceans almost completely replace insects. Some insects play a direct role in human life, such as transmitting diseases as vectors, collecting honey, or eating crops, as well as pollinating food crops. The science that studies insects is entomology. Insects are easily distinguished from other arthropods by their relatively specific body characteristics. There are both beneficial insects that are farmed extensively and harmful species that are considered pests. A number of insect species are eaten or used for food preparation. Insects can communicate with each other using scents or by exhibiting specific behaviors. Due to the enormous number of species, reproduction and development have a very wide range of different variations, as do the different methods of camouflage or defense.
