Bug's Life

We're predicting that the land insects will have some features, such as longer mouths, which would help them eat off of land-based plants whereas the water insects will have mouths that help them eat water plants. Some other features that will differ will be their mode of transportation, be it legs vs. some sort of extremity that will help
a water insect swim. We also predict that some insects will be capable of living on either water or land, and will have a mixture of these features.

We're planning on carrying this out by collecting insects from both environments and examining their different features. We are, as of yet, still unsure precisely where we will be doing the collecting.

These are some of the pages that we feel relate to the topic:
