Immature stages of insects and Its types (Classification)Mogili Ramaiah
Life cycle of an insect can be complete or incomplete which posses different stages in the biology. If it is complete metamorphosis, it consists of egg, larvae, pupa and adult or incomplete metamorphosis with egg, nymph and adult. In the case of insects with complete development show complete metamorphosis with all immature stages that vary in size, shape and form or structure i.e., egg larvae and pupae differing each individually. Hence, different types of egg, larvae and pupae are described in this PPT (Basic Classification)
Orthoptera is an order of insects that comprises the grasshoppers, locusts and crickets, including closely related insects such as the katydids and wetas. The order is subdivided into two suborders: Caelifera – grasshoppers, locusts and close relatives; and Ensifera – crickets and close relatives.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. PUPA?
✓ A motionless (sessile) form of an insect undergoing a remarkable
transformation.
✓ Between larval and adult stage of holometabolous insects.
✓ Incapable of feeding and is quiescent.
2
4. DEVELOPMENTAL ORIGIN OF PUPAL
STAGE
• First, the pupa is considered to be a modified version of the final larval
stage—this is referred to here as ‘Hinton 2’ (Hinton, 1963).
• Second, all holometabolous larval stages are supposed to be derived from a
modified embryonic (‘pronymphal’) form, with the pupa being identified
with the ‘true’ larval or nymphal state, the ‘Berlese’ model (Berlese, 1913).
4
7. A. BASED ON THE PRESENCE OR
ABSENCE OF POWERFUL MANDIBLES
I. Dectious pupae:
• Dectious pupae have articulated mandibles -chew through the pupal cell -
tend to be active - exarate with free appendages.
7
8. II. Adectious:
• Adectious pupae lack functional mandibles and cannot chew their way out
of the pupal case or bite in defense. The mandibles are attached to the head
in such a way as to render them immobile.
• Adectious pupae may also be either obtect or exarate.
• Eg: Diptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Hymenoptera.
8
9. B. BASED ON THE ATTACHMENT OF
THE APPENDAGES
I. OBTECT
✓ In obtect pupae, the insect's appendages are "glued" to the body wall as
the exoskeleton hardens. Many obtect pupae are enclosed within a cocoon.
✓Obtect pupae occur in many of the Dipteran order of insects. This includes
midges, mosquitoes, crane flies, and other members of the suborder
Nematocera.
✓Eg: Lepidoptera (butterflies) and in a few of the Hymenoptera (ants, bees,
wasps) and Coleoptera (beetles). 9
10. I. (A) Chrysalis
✓ Naked obtect pupa of butterfly.
✓ Angular and attractively coloured.
✓ The pupa is attached to the substratum by
hooks present at the terminal end of the
abdomen called cremaster. The middle part
of the chrysalis is attached to the substratum
by two strong silken threads called gridle. Cremaster
Gridle
10
12. I. (B) Tumbler
✓Pupa of mosquito is called tumbler- an obtect
type of pupa.
✓It is comma shaped with rudimentary
appendages.
✓Breathing trumpets are present in the cephalic
end and anal paddles are present at the end of
the abdomen. Abdomen is capable of jerky
movements - produced by the anal paddles.

Anal paddles
12
13. II. EXARATE
✓ Exarate pupae X Obtect pupae. The appendages are free and they can
move. Movement is usually limited to the abdominal segments, but some
can also move their appendages.
✓ Lacks a cocoon, and looks like a pale, mummified adult, according
to "Borror and DeLong's Introduction to the Study of Insects.
✓ " Most pupae fall into this category. Nearly all insects that undergo
complete metamorphosis have exarate pupae.
13
14. ✓ All oligopod larvae will turn into exarate pupae.
✓ Adectious exarate pupae: Siphonaptera (fleas), Strepsiptera (twisted-wing
parasites), Diptera, Coleoptera and Hymenoptera.
✓ Dectious exarate pupae: Mecoptera (scorpionflies & hanging flies),
Neuroptera (nerve-winged insects), Trichoptera (caddisflies) and some
primitive Lepidopterans.
Flea Scorpion fly Green lace wing Caddisfly
14
15. III. COARCTATE
• Coarctate pupae are covered by a membrane called a puparium, which is
actually the hardened cuticle of the final larval instar .
• They are also considered exarate in form, as these pupae have free
appendages.
• Coarctate pupae are found in many families of Diptera (suborder
Brachycera).

22. D. BASED ON PUPAL PROTECTION
In general pupal stage lacks mobility. To get protection against
adverse conditions and natural enemies - cocoon. Based on the nature and
materials used for preparation of cocoons, there are several types:
22
S.No Types of cocoon Materials used Examples
1. Silken cocoon silk silkworm
2. Earthern cocoon Soil + saliva Gram pod borer
3. Hairy cocoon Body hairs Wooly bear
4. Frassy cocoon Frass + saliva Coconut black headed
caterpillar
5. Fibrous cocoon Fibres Red palm weevil
33. E. BASED ON ANTIPREDATOR
STRATEGIES
1. Cryptic colouration:
Pupa of Peacock
butterfly
Pupa of common maplet
butterfly
33
Pupa of luna moth – hide
themselves in a leaf cover
Pupa of prometheca moth –
resembles dried leaf during
deciduous period
37. 5. Behavioural defense:
Pupa alcon blue butterfly – mimicks ant’s
pupae & by producing nectary substance
through their honey gland. They keeps the
ants around them for their protection.
37
Cocoon of urodid moth – cage like to
prevent invading of ants & to flush
rainwater through them as their habitat
is amazon rainforest.
38. 38
Pupa of hair streak butterfly –
resembles bird’s dropping
Pupa of tenebrionid beetle – posess 3 types of
discrete elementary motions viz., rapid
vibration, circular rotation and small wiggling
movements
42. EMERGENCE
✓ Insects emerge by splitting the pupal case
✓ Time of emergence:
1. Morning - Butterflies
2. Evening/ night – Mosquitoes
✓ The adult inside the pupal exoskeleton prior to the emergence is termed
as “pharate”
✓ After the emergence of adult from pupa, the empty pupal exoskeleton is
known as “exuviae” 42
43. DURATION
✓Pupation may lasts for weeks, months and years.
✓Depends on the environmental factors and the insect species.
✓Example: 8 -15 days – Monarch Butterflies.
✓Pupa may undergo dormancy until appropriate season comes.
