Choanocytes. The spongocoel
is lined with feeding cells called
choanocytes. By beating flagella,
the choanocytes create a current that
draws water in through the porocytes.

scyphozoans have tentacles
more than 100 m long
dangling from a bell-shaped

which can subdue fish and
other large prey, is more

Pharynx. The mouth is at the
tip of a muscular pharynx that
extends from the animal’s
ventral side. Digestive juices
are spilled onto prey, and the
pharynx sucks small pieces of
food into the gastrovascular
cavity, where digestion continues.
Digestion is completed within
the cells lining the gastrovascular cavity, which has
three branches, each with
fine subbranches that provide an extensive surface area.
Undigested wastes
are egested
through the mouth.

Nephridium. Excretory organs

system. The dorsally located heart pumps

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
EXAMPLES
Cockroaches have a dorsoventrally flattened body, with legs
modified for rapid running. Forewings, when present, are
leathery, whereas hind wings are fanlike. Fewer than 40 cockroach species live in houses; the rest exploit habitats ranging
from tropical forest floors to caves and deserts.
German

Beetles comprise the most species-rich order of insects. They
have two pairs of wings, one of which is thick and leathery, the
other membranous. They have an armored exoskeleton and
mouthparts adapted for biting and chewing. Beetles undergo
complete metamorphosis.
Japanese

Earwigs are generally nocturnal scavengers. While some
species are wingless, others have two pairs of wings, one of
which is thick and leathery, the other membranous. Earwigs
have biting mouthparts and large posterior pincers. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis.
Dipterans have one pair of wings; the second pair has become
modified into balancing organs called halteres. Their head is
large and mobile; their mouthparts are adapted for sucking,
piercing, or lapping. Dipterans undergo complete metamorphosis. Flies and mosquitoes are among the best-known dipterans,
which live as scavengers, predators, and parasites.
Hemipterans are so-called “true bugs,” including bed bugs,
assassin bugs, and chinch bugs. (Insects in other orders are
sometimes erroneously called bugs.) Hemipterans have two
pairs of wings, one pair partly leathery, the other membranous.
They have piercing or sucking mouthparts and undergo
incomplete metamorphosis.

Ants, bees, and wasps are generally highly social insects. They
have two pairs of membranous wings, a mobile head, and
chewing or sucking mouthparts. The females of many species
have a posterior stinging organ. Hymenopterans undergo complete metamorphosis.

Termites are widespread social insects that produce enormous
colonies. It has been estimated that there are 700 kg of
termites for every person on Earth! Some termites have two
pairs of membranous wings, while others are wingless. They
feed on wood with the aid of microbial symbionts carried in
specialized chambers in their hindgut.

Butterflies and moths are among the best-known insects. They
have two pairs of wings covered with tiny scales. To feed, they
uncoil a long proboscis. Most feed on nectar, but some species
feed on other substances, including animal blood or tears.

Dragonflies and damselflies have two pairs of large, membranous wings. They have an elongated abdomen, large, compound

Grasshoppers, crickets, and their relatives are mostly herbivorous. They have large hind legs adapted for jumping, two
pairs of wings (one leathery, one membranous), and biting or
chewing mouthparts. Males commonly make courtship sounds
by rubbing together body parts, such as a ridge on their hind
leg. Orthopterans undergo incomplete metamorphosis.

Insects live. Their body is cylindrical or flattened dorsoventrally.
They lack forewings but have fanlike hind wings. Their
mouthparts are adapted for biting or chewing.
Commonly called sucking lice, these insects spend their entire
life as an ectoparasite feeding on the hair or feathers of a single
host. Their legs, equipped with clawlike tarsi, are adapted for
clinging to their hosts. They lack wings and have reduced eyes.
Sucking lice undergo incomplete metamorphosis.

The larvae of caddisflies live in streams, where they make houses

Radial canal. The water vascular
system consists of a ring canal in the
central disk and five radial canals,
each running in a groove down the
entire length of an arm.
Branching from each radial canal are hundreds of hollow, muscular tube
feet filled with fluid. Each tube foot consists of a bulb-like ampulla and
suckered podium (foot portion). When the ampulla squeezes, it forces
water into the podium and makes it expand. The podium then
contacts the substrate. When the muscles in the wall of the podium
contract, they force water back into the ampulla, making the podium
shorten and bend.
