1. The 'Key to Insect Orders' was originally created by staff at the Department of Entomology at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia (Gordon Gordh; David Yeates; Tony Young; Sue McGrath), based on the simplified keys to insect Order found in Collecting, Preserving and Classifying Insects by E.C. Dahms, G.B. Monteith and S.
2. Properly defined; orders, families and genera are each groups of species that have descended from a unique common ancestor, as a result of which they share similar structural characteristics and have certain biological attributes in common.
3. It has been designed for a range of users, including advanced secondary students, beginning undergraduates and others interested in entomology, and includes information about the structure and biology of insects as well as their identifying features.
4. Insects make up the vast bulk of species diversity, with just over a million described species organized into about thirty major subgroups called orders.
5. This simple key aims to identify most common adult insects to the level of order.
6. But how can you know the order to which an insect belongs? Insects can be identified in various ways.
7. Three of the groups included in this key (Protura, Collembola and Diplura) are six-legged arthropods treated as insects in the vernacular sense, but now usually formally classified in their own order, outside the order Insecta.
8. This new edition of Insect Orders has been revised by Professor Steve Marshall at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada.
9. Not all insect orders are equal in species number; some have just a few hundred species while the larger orders have hundreds of thousands of species.
10. Monteith (Queensland Museum, 1979), Worms to Wasps by M.S. Harvey and A.L. Yen (Oxford University Press, 1989) and A Field Guide to Insects in Australia by P.
11. Orders are in turn divided into families, families are divided into genera, and genera are divided into species.
