evolution of insect behavior

Insect behavior has evolved through natural selection, where traits that improve survival and reproduction become more common over generations. For example, some insects developed sophisticated ways to find food, mates, or avoid predators, like using smell, sight, or sound. Over time, behaviors such as building nests, communicating with others, or migrating emerged because they increased insects’ chances of passing on their genes. These behaviors are shaped by environmental pressures and genetic variation, leading to diverse and complex actions that help insects adapt to their habitats and thrive in various ecosystems.
