Introduction to Entomology - Part I

[@conoba]

Oh, entomology. I was actually loking for videos on Etymology. I kind of misspelled it and ended up here.I am going to watch this anyway.

[@mathieup5024]

Here’s a joke, what’s the difference between an entomologist and an etymologist? An entomologist knows about bugs and an etymologist knows why theirs a difference!

[@ArafinWasHere]

how did the thing with Etymology went ?

[@realityisascam]

@@mathieup5024 and you're clearly not the latter!!

[@GumCow]

I'm not even in college, but I know I wanna be an entomologist, so why not start young?

[@jamesblakely79]

Exactly the same for me.

[@jamessupernor6681]

Read Naturalist by E.O. Wilson...

[@kriti1981]

Same here

[@MengHuaHung]

This one is not really difficult at all. You can study it before you go to college.

[@deanaogorman5592]

Same here too

[@Bella-qr4ry]

Not even in college, just taking notes on this because corona has me stuck inside.

[@frednash9372]

same

[@kriti1981]

Same here lol. Corona sucks

[@henryrights8428]

I've been reading encyclopedia of insects. It's a good book with great informations on insects and their livelihoods =]

[@ericyoung4510]

Taxonomy is outdated. Mantids to Order Mantodea, Roaches to Blattodea, Walking sticks to Phasmidae (though all still Orthopteroids) and Homoptera is now a suborder of Hemiptera (Hemipteroids). Development falls under these stages: Ametabolous(Gradual Metamorphosis): (i.e. Orders Thysanura & Archaeognatha) whose Juveniles resemble adults except for undeveloped genetalia. Paurometabolous: ( i.e. Orthoptera, Mantodea, Hemiptera [TRUE bugs, leaf/planthoppers, spittle/frog bugs]) whose nymph resembles adults besides undeveloped genetalia and undeveloped morphological features such as wings or pronotum. Hemimetabolous (incomplete metamorphosis): (i.e. Odanata, Plecoptera) 3 distinct stages: egg, nymph, adult. Nymphs do not occupy same niche as adult and do not resemble adult. Holometabolous (complete metamorphosis): (i.e. Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera, Trichoptera) 4 distinct stages; egg, larva, pupa, adult. Each stage occupies different niches, pupae are immobile. Some Holometabolous insects could be considered Hypermetabolous too, where their larval stages do not resemble one another (Coleoptera).

Knowledge is a right for all, not a privilege for a few. Long live the interwebs!

[@timwilson2920]

Was somebody stopping you from educating yourself ? You are inundated in some very sick propaganda, kid.

[@eyeofjudgement]

nope. ants and bees belong to the Hymenoptera, which have a complete metamorphosis, just like butterflies. Termites have their own order (Isoptera) and are more closely related to Mantises and cockroaches

[@ericyoung4510]

The instructor's taxonomy information is outdated. You are completely right. Thought it is still mostly pertanent.

[@Inari_the_Fox]

Cockroaches and termites belong to the same order now. This stuff is always changing.

[@ethanlafon9596]

@@Inari_the_Fox They moved it from an order to a suborder of Blattodea? Very weird.

[@SpecialSoldier109]

@@ethanlafon9596 its because it is currently believed that termites are descended from wood eating cockroaches

[@helladapttoreading8465]

Some corrections of mistakes in this video: While Orthoptera does contain grasshoppers, katydids, and crickets, it does not contain roaches, mantids, or stick insects. Roaches belong to Blattodea, mantids belong to Mantodea, and stick insects belong to Phasmotodea.

[@carlcarrick9233]

i need the reference book plz

[@ericyoung4510]

Mantids and roaches are actually closer related to termites apparently. I think much of the connection is to their wing structures, but apparently, roaches were the evolutionary parent of both mantids and termites. They often group these together, not in an order, but as Orthopteroids (along with Phasmids and many other hemimetabolous Neoptera, non-hemipteroid insects) and in a smaller subgroup referred to as IBM - (Isoptera, Blattodea, Mantodea) (via "Insects: Their Natural History and Diversity" by Stephen Marshall)

[@arlie505]

Very informative and easy to listen to. Thanks.

[@tendekaimubariki4227]

Thank you for this powerful lectures

[@VictorFursov]

Thanks for interesting and encouraging Video! Good luck! Best greetings from entomologist in Ukraine! :)

[@adriasanchez6633]

Dr Victor Fursov - Entomologist Beekeeper Teacher Hello doctor, maybe u can answer me, but im a biology student from spain, i made the quiz from this video and they say in the first question that spider mites and millipedes are insects ! Im not sure now cause i thought that they were arthropods but not insects, am i wrong ?

[@SaddamHussain-gg5ws]

Thanks for interesting and encouraging Video! Good luck! my wish to become my teacher in PhD ENTOMOLOGY

[@tajamul1535]

Sir cn u suggest me book for net exam

[@danielsark4118]

24:50 Her: "Anyone know what kind of an arachnid?" Me: "Spider!" Her: "It's a tick, very good!" Me: "Thank you"

[@theamericancommie727]

I’m here because I’m scared of them. I’m hoping if I understand them, I’ll be relieved of my phobia.

[@Jackson72O]

you should eat them!

[@BalaBiologyWorld]

WOW ITS REALLY EFFECTIVE. PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEO MAAM...... FROM INDIA I AM A STUDENT OF RTM UNIVERSITY

[@DustinMcC7]

damn you young ones! i am twenty-two and just decided i want to be an entomologist! better late than never.

[@bigbadbraxien6081]

Oh wow ! How’d that go for you did you like explore anywhere?

[@xxLealaxx]

I also want to know! 9 years on did you progress with entomology?

[@haiderchaudhry7876]

Hey it's been 9 years since your post, I want to know how that went because I am in similar position. Thanks

[@Gamerfat]

this reminds of the old days students sitting together in a *school* and actually learning something

[@larsonfamilyhouse]

Do you not think it happens anymore? SMH

[@blondeeagles]

​@@larsonfamilyhouse@prismoth I think this is a Covid comment with all the remote learning

[@m.ejazkhalil9749]

very useful information and effective

[@Squiderrant]

I love this. Rediscovered an old hobby!

[@ninjatomoki]

i want to be an entomologist when i am older and i used to live next door to the head of entomology of canberra (CSIRO) matt

[@Theeinsom]

Update?

[@xXAISPXx]

I know trillions of facts about insects already, I hope to be a good entomologist.

[@cristihangarcia7028]

I've actually seen one grape leaf skeletonizer this past summer. It was blue. Haven't seen one since.

[@nugsymalone1247]

I found a luna moth cocoon outside my window, very large. When I looked it up, I'm pretty sure they make the cocoon and then do the hardened pupae inside where when other insects that become hardened pupae go in the ground with no cocoon. Interesting

[@mmusaabro8503]

very informative and interesting

[@chindangmwanle3874]

this information is timely

[@privateuser7]

I hate the current state of colleges in America and the babies that inhabit them, so I am teaching myself entomology. Thank you for this resource.

[@noraimahacmad8985]

thank you so much.

[@leo-unddieAnderen]

Insect beings are special and should be protected.

[@hedgey4695]

awesome!

Very nice presentation thankyou so much

[@Frances3654]

insects (arthropods in general) are cool

[@klfimpactinternationallibe5914]

Thanks for the presentation. I want to do my master in entomology, can i get a scholarship? An African currently living in the U S .i have a first degree in Agriculture.

[@chrisegnoto]

My channel has many insect documentaries on it. I love entomology ;)

[@anthonyvillarreal2839]

i love bugs

[@KOGR11]

@Wigglyears19 good goal, i recommend two books for you, "secret weapons" and "for the love of insects" both by thomas eisner.

[@juliusoirisha]

Very nice topic... I like it

[@Arm2775]

the taxonomy in this is pretty bad... Orthoptera does not contain cockroaches, mantids or stick insects!

[@laurentndonje51]

i get confused on the order of cockroach to place it in order orthoptera as grasshopper

[@ericyoung4510]

This is an old assignment of roaches to orthoptera. Orthoptera now only consists of crickets and grasshoppers. Roaches are now in their own Order, Blattodea. Though they are still grouped in the order grouping Orthopteroid.

[@dorkxhahax]

Shoutout to San Joaquin Valley

[@laurentndonje51]

i need your help on ametabolous

[@ericyoung4510]

It's been so long I'm not sure if replying would help, but ametabolous insects do not undergo metamorphosis. A common insect which is ametabolous would be silverfish or firebrats (Order Thysanura). They are born with the same appearance of adults and instead mature more like a mammal, growing in size, developing genetalia, and possibly gaining additional "scales" through this growth.

[@ImagineNoReligions]

I thought Termites had larvae? Ants have larvae, bees have larvae. They're all in the same group... Aren't they?

[@ericyoung4510]

Termites are in order Isoptera while ants, bees, and wasps are in Order Hymenoptera.
