How to use insects in a sentence?

  1. Qianshi Lin:

    What's particularly unique about this carnivorous plant is that it traps insects near its insect-pollinated flowers, on the surface, this seems like a conflict between carnivory and pollination because you don't want to kill the insects that are helping you reproduce.

  2. Irek Hamidullin:

    Helicopters shoot us like insects.

  3. Martin Qvarnström:

    Although Silesaurus appears to have ingested numerous individuals of Triamyxa coprolithica, the beetle was likely too small to have been the only targeted prey, instead, Triamyxa likely shared its habitat with larger beetles, which are represented by disarticulated remains in the coprolites, and other prey, which never ended up in the coprolites in a recognizable shape. So it seems likely that Silesaurus was omnivorous, and that a part of its diet was comprised of insects.

  4. L.F. Magister:

    Animals that have more defense forms are also the most sensitive to attack, such as the turtles on their hulls or tracks, that when they leave their cocoons, they become one of the most beautiful insects. Such are human beings. They spend the rest of their lives in fear. Close their hearts made alveoli to the world in order to protect themselves and hoping that one day someone might free them.

  5. Leah Bessa:

    Some insects, like the black solider fly larvae, have the ability to feed on a wide range of organic matter, for example, the spent grain left over from brewing beer is used to feed the larvae.
