Course Description

Insects are the most abundant and diverse group of animals on earth. Insects impact almost every facet of the ecosystem and our lives. Many insects play valuable and essential roles in pollinating different plant species, predating, controlling insect pests and in recycling nutrients. Other insects are harmful and are vectors for major diseases. This course will provide students with a broad introduction to entomology including insect evolution, ecology, and anatomy. This will allow you to develop identification and classification. By the end of the course, you will be well prepared to work in fields that require skills to study insects.

Course Outcomes

1. Description of body morphology, origin, structure and modification; types of mouthparts and antennae.

2. Understand the scope and importance of insect anatomy and physiology.

3. Identification of classes by distinguishing characters, general biology

4. Described habits, habitats and distinguishing characteristics of insect falling in different orders and economically important families contained in them.
