The Amazing Arthropods
Dealing with Danger
Entomologists at Work
|
Insects and their relatives live almost everywhere on earth,
from snow fields to the open ocean. Thanks to short breeding
cycles and genetic flexibilities that allow them to modify features
such as size, shape, and behavior, insects can adapt easily to
constantly changing environments. The Zoo recreates five contrasting
habitats--freshwater pond, house, mangrove swamp, desert, and
rain forest--to show the ways insects have adjusted to different
surroundings.
