PRESENTATION OUTLINE
The four main parts of an insect are 3 body parts (head, thorax, and abdomen), 2 antennae, an exoskeleton and six legs. The two additional parts insects have are wings and compound eyes.
Here are some of the reasons insects are so successful. They can use camouflage(blending into the surroundings) to stay away from predators. Some insects have different mouth parts to suit the needs to get their food, Also some insects have wings to make traveling easier and faster, but also helps them escape predators.

We learned during the investigation that some cockroaches like some things and other like other things like our male cockroach like eating the apple and walking on the sandpaper while the female liked the orange and liked walking on the paper towel.
The surfaces (which were sandpaper, wax paper, paper towels, and tin foil) we put them on each texture and it told us how they react to new textures whether they like or not.
They are so successful because of their adaptations like sticky feet to climb or hold on to something, they can run fast to escape predators, and they have a tough exoskeleton allowing them to survive some heavy hits. They can also hiss to scare predators.

Beetles!
They are everywhere and there are an estimated 8 million species. Their small sizes evade predators and they lay a large number of eggs. Also most beetles can fly. They are also have a very compact structure. They can also dig tunnels easily to escape predators.
