“If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos."
Edward O. Wilson

Part 1 - Arthropods

Learn about the largest group of animals, those with jointed legs: the phylum Arthropoda. The five classes explored are: insects, arachnids, centipedes, millipedes, and crustaceans. Arachnids shown include: spiders, mites, ticks, scorpions, whip scorpions, daddy longleg, and sun scorpions. The life histories of Centipedes and Millipedes are discussed. Characteristics of each of these classes are illustrated. 24 min. $119.00


Part 2 - Insect Families and Identifications

Primitive insects are shown, as are families of Orthopterans including grasshoppers, crickets, katydids, cockroaches, walkingsticks and praying mantises. Also shown in detail are the major families of the orders Odonata, Ephemeroptera, Dermaptera, Isoptera, Hemiptera, Homoptera, Thysanoptera, Neuroptera, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera and Siphonaptera. The fascinating variety of live insects in this video will keep your students glued to the screen. DVD 24 min. min. $119.00

Part 3 - Insect Orders, Classification & I.D.

The 26 main orders of insects are explored in this exciting new video. They include primitive insects such as Silverfish, Bristletails, and Springtails, along with winged insects such as Mayflies, Dragonflies, Stoneflies, Grasshoppers, Earwigs, Termites, True Bugs, Cicadas and Leafhoppers, Nerve-winged insects, Beetles, Butterflies, Moths, Bees, Ants and Wasps, along with Flies and Fleas. Scientific names and the main characteristics of each order are effectively shown. A great building block for entomology students. 24 min $119.00

Part 4 - Insect Structure, Function & Metamorphosis


Students will learn the three types of metamorphosis: gradual, incomplete and complete, and see examples of sinsects in each group. Then students will explore the basic structure of insects, including the exoskeleton, antennae, eyes, mouthparts, leg parts, digestive and reproductive tracts. Also, see effective examples of insect defenses, such as high reproductive rates, camouflage, mimicry, and spines. This terrific new program will bring to life this important part of entomology. 24 min.

Pest ID- CD-ROM

Contains 160 slide photos allowing students to identify pests (insects, deer, mice, rabbits, birds and others) through visual and descriptive characteristics, including both larva and adult stages of most insects. Students can request to hear correct pronunciations of scientific names and can test their identification skills through quizzes. Search by common or scientific name, phylum, class, order or description.
