The Insect
Adapted From Our Common Insects by Alpheus Spring Packard
DIRECTIONS: Write the main idea and the supporting details for each paragraph.
What is an insect? When we remember that the insects alone comprise
four-fifths of the animal kingdom, and that there are upwards of
200,000 living species, it would seem a hopeless task to define what an
insect is. But a common plan pervades the structure of them all. The
bodies of all insects consist of a succession of rings, or segments, more
or less hardened by the deposition of a chemical substance called
chitine; these rings are arranged in three groups: the head, the thorax,
or middle body, and the abdomen or hind body. In the six-footed
insects, such as the bee, moth, beetle or dragon fly, four of these rings
unite early in embryonic life to form the head; the thorax consists of
three, as may be readily seen on slight examination, and the abdomen
is composed either of ten or eleven rings. The body, then, seems
divided or insected into three regions, whence the name insect.
Main Idea Supporting Details
Insects do not breathe as in the higher animals by taking the air into the
mouth and filling the lungs, but there are a series of holes or pores
along the side of the body, as seen in the grub of the humble bee,
through which the air enters and is conveyed to every part of the body
by an immense number of air tubes. These air tubes are everywhere
bathed by the blood, by which the latter becomes oxygenated.
Main Idea Supporting Details
Answer may vary.
Probable answers:
Paragraph 1) Main idea of this passage is to give information about insects which includes
species and their body structure.
Supporting details: The paragraph gives details about each of the body part of
insects.
Paragraph 2) Main idea of this passage is how insects breathe.
Supporting details: It gives details how air enter the body of the insects spread
through body and becomes oxygenated.
