Revised 1999

In their own sphere, insects are as highly developed as man, and represent
the development of instinct at its highest level. These programs present a survey of
commonly encountered insect lives, their eggs, molting, metamorphosis and behavior.
Texts introduce specialized terminology and concepts and provide detailed information.
(2 slide sets) 40 slides and guides.

CONTENT SAMPLE: 11639 It certainly isn’t hard for anyone to spot this insect. The
vivid orange-red stands out against any natural background. This also is a katydid--a red one. It
is not a different species, but a mutation, a genetic change that occurs rarely but is seen from
time to time. This katydid is just like the green one in all respects except color. If this animal
matures and lays eggs there is a good chance more red katydids will result. However, being so
conspicuous, it is more likely that this animal will be eaten by a bird before it reproduces. This is
an example of how evolution works, for the better protected green katydid has a better chance to
produce offspring than does the red one.

REVIEWS “I would also like to compliment you on the sets, they are excellent.” Sr.

The significance of the class Insecta, the largest and most familiar class of arthropods. The 34
orders of insects contain over a million species which inhabit almost every nook and cranny on
earth. Three out of four species of animals belong to the phylum Arthropoda, yet only insects, of
all the Arthropoda, have attained the ability to fly. This colorful and unique program il-lustrates the
great range and variety of insect adaptations, elaborately details their development and anatomy,
and portrays their great diversity. Photographic coverage of live insects is very comprehensive and
wide-ranging. Scientific names are provided. Some of the impact insects have on humans, and
even some folklore, is also presented.

An easy going, highly informative interactive narrative linked to a very extensive supplemental text
provides easily accessible, near encyclopedic information about every animal—right at the user’s
fingertips! Additional interactive features access over 100 questions with explanations, automatic
quizzes and a customized glossary.

Among the many insects and insect stages covered in this program are beetles, silverfish,
springtails, caddisflies, dragonflies, mayflies, grasshoppers, cockroaches, mantis, walking stick,
termites, lice, true bugs, cicadas, aphids, ladybird, dobsonfly, long-horned pine sawyer beetle,
dung beetle, moths, butterflies, mosquitoes, maggots, horsefly eye, fleas, bees, egg, larva, pupa,
cacoon and caterpiller. Differences in development and types of metamorphosis provide the basis
for insect classification into subclasses. These variations are presented here as well. In addition,
the physical and functional differences that occur in social insects like termites, ants and bees
resulting in castes, are also detailed.

Included free on this disk, greatly enhancing its value as a reference tool, are Webster’s New
World Dictionary (Third College Edition) featuring more than 150,000 entries and the American
Concise Encyclopedia with more than 15,000 entries and original source documents.
