Mutant insects

Mutant insects are insects that have developed unusual physical traits due to genetic mutations, which are changes in their DNA. These mutations can occur naturally or result from environmental factors like pollution or radiation. As a result, the insects may have altered body parts, colors, or behaviors compared to typical insects of their species. While some mutations are harmless, others can affect their ability to survive or reproduce. Studying these mutants helps scientists understand genetics, development, and how environmental factors influence living organisms.
