How do insects move?

[unownshadow]

Anyone know how insects move? lol. Becuase, they do not have skeltons right? And they do not have muscles, lol. So, how do they move? Are they just really light or something? I know spiders have their skeletons outside, but what about insects? heh. Just a curious thought, heh. HM...maybe they do have skeletons, heh.

Its an exoskelton (thing thats how its spelt) and the muscles are on the inside or some shit.

[Gulcasa]

Nope. It's magic.

They have little fibres and ligaments connected to nerves around and in their limbs. They're pretty much muscles that work by contracting and relaxing.

Depends on the insect. Fly's move by total muscle force.

Someone pays attention in biology class.

Don't have Biology this year, but I've taken two full years on it. Yes, I like science.


Edit: This reminds me... didn't Mushindo make a thread for people to ask science -related questions? That should be stickied... or at least bumped up without a mod's closage.

IMO, insects move by walking or flying

[Soeru]

I like them when they don't fly or walk... or exist for that matter.

Kill the mosquito, burn the mosquito.

This is murder, mosquito murder.

I LIKE THEM WHEN THEY ARE DEVOURING SOERU'S ROTTING CORPSE

I mean. All forms of life are sacred and beautiful. That's it.

[GODJonez]

That's true too. But animals kill each other too, don't they? They kill to live. I kill mosquitos to live.

That death metal is really getting to you, is it?

It's not really necessary to kill insects to live, unless it's like insects that fuck your crops up, or eat your food, are poisonous/etc. or if you're a bird or some other insect-eating animal. I just don't like insects.
