Insect Behaviour

Insects show different types of behaviours that help them survive and reproduce. The main types include: Feeding behaviour: How insects find and consume food. Reproductive behaviour: Activities related to mating and egg-laying. Defensive behaviour: Actions to protect themselves from predators (e.g., camouflage, stinging). Social behaviour: Cooperation and division of labour in groups like bees, ants, and termites. Communication behaviour: Use of sounds, light, or chemicals (pheromones) to send signals. Locomotory behaviour: Movements such as flying, crawling, or jumping to find food or escape danger. These behaviours are influenced by both environmental and internal factors, helping insects adapt and maintain balance in ecosystems.
