This document provides instructions for collecting and pinning insects. It describes the necessary equipment, including insect pins of various sizes, a pinning block, and display boxes. It explains how to properly position insects on pins, such as tucking legs under the body and placing antennae horizontally. Specific instructions are given for common orders of insects, such as pinning beetles through the right elytra and grasshoppers through the right pronotum. The document emphasizes maintaining proper height and posture of pinned insects.
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)

In this PPT slides you will come to know about the different kinds of pest which is infesting in WHEAT plant. And also you will come to know about their management practices and also you will have an knowledge about some common chemicals which is being uses to eradicate the pests/diseases infesting in wheat plant.
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.

Prevalence and morphological details of Nyctotherus periplanetae in the host ...IOSR Journals
Nyctotherus periplanetae is very common intestine dwelling ciliate in invertebrates. During the period of two years total number of 1842 intestinal samples of Periplaneta americana were checked. The percentage of prevalence of ciliates was found quite high and it was 57.77% during the year 2007 and 60.75% in 2008.
2. Steps of insect collection
Equipments for pinning(description)
Pinning of different insects(order)
Arrangement
3. Steps of Insect collection
• Capturing by different techniques
• Killing them by the help of killing jar
• Relaxing insects
• Pinning insects
• Labeling insects
• Storing insects
4. Why pinning required
• Before displaying --posture should be maintained
• To avoid breakage
• To demonstrate each part clearly
• To make collection neat and clean
5. “Insect Pins” for pinning
Pinning block
Spreading board
Preserving or display boxes
6. Pinning of insects
Types of pins.
Height of insect on pins
Posture of insect on pin
Where to pin
Labeling etc
7. • “Insect pins” should be used to avoid rust and
to adjust the insect properly
• Insect pins come in various sizes ranging from
000 to 7
• Smaller the no…… the thinner the pin.
• Sizes 1-3 best size for most insects.
8. Height of insects
• All parts of insects should have uniform
distance from the top of the pin.
• A good distance is 8-10 mm or about 2/3 or
1/4 of the way up the pin.
9. The use of a pinning block will help in obtaining
proper height and positioning.
7.5 cm long and 2.5 cm wide
The first step is 0.6 cm high, the second 1.2 cm
and the third 2.2 cm high.
10.
11. Posture on Pins
• Legs and antennae should not be projected
into lifelike positions.
• Legs should be tucked under the insect’s body
• Antennae should be in horizontal manner
12.
13. Smaller should be mounted on card points
Card points are slender triangles of paper.
With the help of glue attach the insect
from right side
Soft-bodied insects such as caterpillars,
mayflies, silverfish and others cannot be
pinned.
14. Through the right side of the
thorax with the wings spread.
Through the left side of the
body with the wings folded
15. Order Coleoptera:
(Beetles)
• Pin through right elytra(wing)
• Do not spread the wings
17. Pin through the right side of
thorax, a little behind the
forewings
In flies set wings with the
front edges at 45° to the
body.
18. • Pin through the V shaped
shield (scuttelum), to the
right of middle line
• Do not spread wings
19. Order Neuroptera:
antlion, lacewings,and dobsonflies
Pinned through the right
side of pronotum
First margin of rear wings
at right angle to the body
20. • Pin through right side of thorax
• Hind margin of front wing at
right angles to the body
• Rear wing arranged so only a
small notch between front and
rear wings
21. 1- place insect in the center of spreading board
2- Place two strips of papers along both wings
3- Raise forewing to adjust it perpendicularly
4- Raise hind wing to reduce notch between
two wings.
5- Support the abdomen with the help of pins by
making V shape below abdomen
