Meaning of insects
Before, we talk about the dangers of certain insects, you need to refresh their minds on what an insect is. They were taught in their previous class that ‘insects are small animals with six legs’. But, we need to broaden the definition by adding other features of insects since they have advanced in age a bit. They need to know that the body of insects are divided into three parts————- the head, thorax and abdomen. They also need to
know that insects are invertebrates and that they have wings and antennae.
There are many dangerous insects in our homes. These insects are pests which carry a wide range of diseases. Mosquitoes are the most dangerous insect in our homes because it causes the highest number of dead in homes, especially among children.
Mosquitoes are the vampires of the insect world. They eat our blood and transmit dangerous parasite to us which causes malaria
Houseflies transmit many diseases to human beings and they are associated with food poisoning. Flies spread diseases like typhoid fever, cholera and even dysentery.
