Throughout the history of the earth insects have evolved in order to be better suited for their environment. An example of this is their size. Over time the body of the insect has decreased, and they have changed their appearance. This is needed for the insects to escape from predators and live longer to reproduce.  This is an example of decent with modification. The type of natural selection within insects is stabilizing. This is because there are so many species of insects all over the globe. This is why insects are stabilizing evolutionally.

There are still many things unknown about insects, so humans must do tests on them. In laboratories humans have started breeding different insects together in order to study the inner campuses that insects have, as well as their flying patterns. By controlling their breeding it allows insects to be further studied.

Geographic isolation is apparent in Insects because it is very easy for them to become separated. For instance the cockroach (most popular) became isolated through transportation. They infest cargo ships which bring them across continents. The German Cockroach is a species that is most common for their traditional brown color.

Taxonomy can show relatedness because it allows the viewer to see how closely a species physiolofy is to another species and their common ancestor.

Insects have evolved over time in order to maintain their large population on this earth.  This is apparent as they were one of the first species on Earth and are still around today.  One of the DNA similarities they share is the DNA that holds the recipe for the protein the plant toxin in milkweed targets. Many different insects have developed this trait in order to combat the poison and maintain their food source.

One thing that many Entomologists use to identify an insect is the fact that all insects have 3 major parts of the body. The head, Abdomen and Thorax are a criteria in all insects.

The Speciation of insects seems to be relatively gradual and steady as there has not been many changes made, with the exception of the Carboniferous period and the sudden extinction of the physically large genus of insects.

DIvergent:

There are billions of different types ofinsects, so naturally diveregent evolution will appear. An example of divergent evolution in inscects is their exoskeleton. Some insects have evolved over time to form harder shells more resistent to prey, while some sacrifice harder shells for manuverability. Insects have developed thei exoskeletons in order to suit the enviorments they live in.

An Embryological trait that all insects have is that they produce eggs. These eggs are usually dropped and will hatch over time. However some insects can hold the eggs inside of their body if it is too dangerous and their offspring will hatch while inside them, giving the appearance of a live birth.
