KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Insects are “cold blooded, ‘’ so they need external warmth to be active. However, too much heat can be damaging. This makes certain insects good model animals to use in laboratory experiments exploring the impact of heatwaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insects are cold blooded, and their metabolism and activity is very greatly influenced by the temperature of their bodies, which temperature is almost entirely dependent on that of the surrounding environment. A low temperature inhibits activity, and a higher temperature usually stimulates the animal.

Detailed explanation-3: -On the basis of body weight, most flying insects have higher rates of metabolism, and hence heat production, than other animals. However, rapid rates of cooling because of small body size in most cases precludes appreciable endothermy.
