The Symbiotic Relationships of Insects 
These relationships involve interactions between different species that benefit
one or both parties involved
...Bees Flowers Bees pollinate flowers while obtaining nectar for food, benefiting both the bees and the
plants ...Lice are another example of insect parasites that infest the feathers or fur of mammals,
feeding on their blood
...
Insects as Indicators of Environmental Change One of the fascinating aspects of the natural world is the role that insects play as indicators of environmental change
...identification and counting Using light traps to attract nocturnal insects Surveying
plants for damage caused by insect
feeding Deploying pheromone traps to monitor specific insect species Case Study: Bee Decline One of the most well-known examples of insects as indicators of environmental change
...
Wetlands for Biodiversity Preservation Plant Species Wetlands support a variety of plant species, including aquatic
plants like water lilies, cattails, and sedges
...Many species rely
on wetlands for breeding,
feeding, and shelter
...
How Insects Contribute to Forest Health Forests are complex ecosystems that rely
on a delicate balance of various organisms to thrive
...the key ways in which insects benefit forests include: Seed dispersal: Many insects aid in the dispersal of seeds by
feeding on fruits and then excreting the seeds in new locations
...Pollination: Insects such as bees, butterflies, and beetles play a crucial role in pollinating flowering
plants, which is essential for reproduction
...
Wetlands Habitat Preservation They support a complex food web, with many species relying
on wetlands for their survival
...Birds, in particular, are highly dependent on wetlands for nesting and
feeding ...Pollution from industrial and agricultural runoff poses a further threat, contaminating water sources and harming the
plants and animals that rely on wetlands for survival
...
Sand Forests Some common plant species found in sand forests include: Acacia Casuarina Myrtle Coastal Banksia These
plants have developed adaptations such as deep root systems and waxy leaves to survive in the sandy soil and withstand the harsh coastal conditions
...Birds such as the Sandgrouse and the Sand Martin are commonly found in these forests,
feeding on the insects and seeds that are abundant in the sandy soil
...
Striders These unique insects have adapted to their aquatic lifestyle with specialized features that allow them to move effortlessly
on water
...These insects are highly territorial and will defend their
feeding grounds from other striders
...The female then lays her eggs on the water's surface or on aquatic
plants, where they hatch into nymphs
...
Soil Fertility Contributions Ants also help in the decomposition process by
feeding on dead plant material and recycling nutrients back into the soil
...such as bacteria and fungi play a vital role in soil fertility by decomposing organic matter and releasing nutrients that
plants can absorb
...
Lacewings Habitat and Behavior Lacewings are often found in areas with abundant vegetation, as they feed
on small insects such as aphids, mites, and caterpillars
...The larvae are voracious predators,
feeding on a variety of small insects
...Additionally, lacewings are important pollinators, helping to fertilize flowers and
plants ...
Dermaptera Earwigs are omnivorous,
feeding on a wide range of organic matter including
plants, insects, and decaying material
