Week 9 -- Insect Physiology

This week we finish our study of insect physiology with an examination of the nervous system, excretory system, and finally the respiratory system.

• Continue collecting and spreading insect specimens for your collection. We will continue to bait our traps and night collect throughout the week. Take advantage of the traps to help complete your collection of 40 insects.
  
• On days not suitable for collecting, concentrate on your research topic.
• Keep up with your journal. I will collect and grade your journals on Thursday

Next week: Social Insects -- bees, wasps, hornets, termites, and ants. Students from the Dept. of Entomology at the University of Georgia will come by for a visit and talk to us about beekeeping and honey production.
