4. True or False. The muscle shown in #2 is an indirect flight muscle.
6. Legs Basic plan:
Coxa
Trochanter
Femur

Tibial spurs
Tarsus
Pretarsus
Many modifications!
Running, swimming, digging, grasping, stridulation, etc.

11. Flies
12. True Bugs Arolium may be bristle- or pad-like
Could occur as single or double pads
Fig 22-3, pg. 272
Somewhat confusing relative to other insects…

19. Wing Venation: Basic Plan
20. Wing Venation Basic plan of longitudinal veins:

Cross-veins
Create cells
Cells named after vein bordering them anteriorly
29. Variations
30. Wing Regions Entire regions of the wing, not just the veins or coupling mechanisms, can be extremely variable
Be able to identify the wing regions that distinguish one taxon from another
31. Wing Regions Claval fold
Marks area of wing flexion during upstroke of flight
More distinct in Heteroptera
Jugum (jugal lobe)
Basal lobe at posterior marigin
Distinct in some Hymenoptera
32. Wing Regions
33. Wing Regions: Diptera (Muscoidea) Alula
Deep notch near posterior margin
Calypters (calypteres)
2 fleshy lobes at base of wing
Upper calypter lies on top of lower calypter when wings are folded
Halteres
Modified hindwings
Knob-like structures
34. Wing Regions: Diptera (Muscoidea)
35. Wing Coupling Fore- and hindwings of most insects (excluding Orthoptera and Odonata) are linked together as a single unit
Simultaneous movement
Wings couple in different ways according to different taxa
36. Wing Coupling: Frenate LEPIDOPTERA
Frenulum
Spine(s) at anterior base of hindwing
Retinaculum
Group of scales on posterior margin of forewing
Frenulum hooks into the retinaculum
Found in most of the common moths
37. Frenulum
38. Wing Coupling: Frenate
39. Wing Coupling: Amplexiform LEPIDOPTERA
No frenulum or retinaculum
Enlarged humeral area at base of hindwing overlaps anal angle of forewing
Humeral area = anterior basal portion
Costal margin = anterior margin
Found in butterflies
40. Amplexiform
41. Wing Coupling: Hamuli HYMENOPTERA
Hamuli
Series of hooks on anterior portion of hindwing
42. Hamuli
43. Wing Regions: Diptera (Muscoidea)
45. Assignment Drawings:
1st set pg. 70
2nd set pg. 74
3rd set pg. 75
Look at ALL demos and make sketches
Mole cricket foreleg (we will do this together)
